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 a landlord filed an eviction then dropped it before the court date is it still on the renter's record?
No. But it may still be in the court records forever, filed under the names of the parties.
If renter has to move from a rental property because of landlords fault who is responsible for moving costs?
If the lease is month to month, the landlord just has to give you a month notice and you are gone. If there is a lease that is still in effect, the landlord is responsible for costs that you incurred as a result of the breach of the lease.
Which is worse an eviction or broken lease?
An eviction definitely! With a broken lease, you are still paying your landlord the rent that you own him and will probably be paying a fee to break the lease. With an evicition, the renter probably has stopped paying the rent or has damaged the property or has been doing something illegal like growing marijuana on the property.
What are your rights if the building where you are renting the apartment is foreclosed?
If your property is foreclosed, either you have the same landlord until the property actually changes hands, or you have a new landlord who can exercise his own rules, including evictions. If your landlord still has control over the property he can still collect rent, and he can still evict you if you don't pay it. When the new landlord takes over you must follow that landlord's instructions for rent payment or vacating the premises.
How can you get out of paying rent if you can't afford it?
Is your home in great order and shape? Is your landlord fulfiling his end of the agreement? If you can say YES to either or both questions you might be able to break the lease by means of constructive eviction. If the answers are NO, then you can't break out of a lease, or if you do, you suffer the consequences: your landlord can keep the security deposit and you may be liable for the rent of the unit for each month it's vacant during the time of your lease or until the unit is rented out.

If a person loses their home to the bank can the person renting that home still rent it?
Well, if the bank forecloses on the home, the bank is now the legal owner of the home, so the renter should probably contact the bank.
When is a tenant liable for repairs?
Check your state's landlord tenant laws. In some states the tenant is liable if they were aware of a problem and did not report it to the landlord, did nothing to prevent the problem or if they are responsible for causing the problem.
Can a Manager or Landlord Wrongful withhold part of a security deposit even if you never moved in?
If an apartment is reserved for you, because you paid a security deposit, that means that the landlord is not able to rent it to anyone else. Hence, when you then decide not to move in after all, the landlord has still lost the rent which he might have collected by renting that apartmnent to a different renter. So yes, he can withhold the deposit. It is not a good idea to make a deposit on an apartment that you are not actually going to move into.
What do you do if a person renting a home from you filed bankruptcy?
If the renter can still make payments you do nothing. If the renter defaults on more than one payment, then file for court eviction unless you want to make special arrangements with the renter.
What does happen if a landlord keep on taking rent even if the landlord had filed for bankruptcy himself?
The landlord's bankruptcy has nothing to do with the tenant. The tenant still owes the rent.

Do you still have to pay your landlord if house is for sale?
If your landlord is selling the house you have to continue paying the rent for it, whether to the old landlord or to the new one. Your old landlord will give you notice about when they have sold the property, and the new landlord will give you instructions on how to pay them the rent.

Yes you are
You co-signed an apartment for a friend-he moved out before end of contract and found replacement-he has an addendum signed by the landlord showing that HE departed-are you still liable?
No ... you only co-signed for an individual, not a piece of property. When the friend departed the premises, your obligation as his/her co-signer also ended.
