To my knowledge, there is no law in place that states you cannot rent to felons. A landlord can rent to whomever they please, as long as its not discrimination. I dont think having a felony would fall under that catagory, just gender, race or religion are the main catagories of discrimination. Now, if they put on their rental application a question asking if you are a felon and you responded no, and you actually are, they could break the lease based on that lie. Otherwise, they are free and clear to rent to felons.

If a landlord loses the rent is renter still liable?
Are you saying that you paid the rent and then the landlord lost the payment? You would have to determine at which point the rent was lost. For instance, if the check never arrived in the mail and was not cashed, then it wasn't the fault of the landlord. If it is a personal check, then payment could be stopped and the check replaced, without a problem.
If your landlord lost your signed lease and that was the only copy are you liable to stay in that apartment?
The landlord must give you a copy of your lease within 30 days. There is usually a paper you both sign saying you received it. If it is lost you are not liable to stay in the apartment. On the other hand, this also means the landlord can evict you or raise your rent on you without warning because of no proper documentation.
Is it legal for your tenant to rent to other people without landlords permission?
The situation you describe is called a sublet. Read your lease to confirm that this is allowed as part of the agreement you have with your landlord. Of course, if you choose to collect rental revenue from people without your landlord's permission, and you're collecting rent based on the landlord's assets, you may be liable to the landlord to turn all monies over to him or her. Best practices indicate that it's always a better idea to behave within the bounds of the agreement you have with your landlord.

Is a tenant liable for rent if baggered by landlord?
Your question is not clear, is the landlord baggering you for the rent or is it in regards to something else? Is the rent late? Your rent is due every month (or week), regardless of landlord behavior. But the landlord cannot harass tenants, regardless of reason. They can evict for non-payment, following the procedures dictated by the laws in your state. That said, if the landlord is abusive they can be taken to a standard civil court.
You said you would take a property and the lease was prepared but then 2weeks later you backed out and did not sign it Are you liable?
You will be held legally responsible for the lost rent on the apartment PROVIDED that the landlord makes a reasonable effort to re-rent the apartment. A reasonable effort would be considered running an ad in the newspaper, placing a Craigslist ad, posting the apartment on apartments.com, etc. However, the landlord is not obligated to lower the rent or rent the apartment to tenants who do not meet the landlord's reasonable screening standards.

Where in dallas can a felon rent apartment?
I would be happy to rent to someone with felonies - or more correctly, that by itself would not disqualify you - I'm still going to look at who the person is who wants to rent, looking for good renters like I suppose every landlord does.
