you have every right to get rid of that dog
Give them a 10 day notice of non compliance of your written rental contract. They will have 10 days to move out or get rid of the dog. You can find these forms at the library or the courthouse or on the internet. You can also give them a 30 day notice. You can get that form off of the Internet. When you give a 30 day notice, you do not have to have a reason, but they have to be out within 30 days. Have a Sheriff serve the paper or you can do it yourself or someone else can. Just make sure it is not served to a minor but to one of the adult Renters. It will cost you about $25 - $35 dollars to have it served by a Police Officer or Sheriff but it seems to hold more weight when it is done that way, but you can serve it yourself or have a big muscled friend do it. Good luck. You don't want tenants like that anyway.
Yes. You have a contract, which was consummated when you paid money and the landlord let you move in. Most states have statutes dictating how deposits must be handled.
Yes, unless it states in your contract "bills included".
For the rental lease agreement to be valid in the United States court of law it has to be signed by the Landlord and Tenant.
***MORE INFO*** We received a rental agreement to sign, for a 1 week vacation rental property. In the contract, it states that if damage is done to the rental property and we do not pay for it, the owner has the right to place a lien on our permanent residence. Both properties are in Maryland. Is this even possible? Should we sign it?
As long as it is in the contract, yes.Additionally, some states have passed public smoking bans. If the apartment contains more than one unit, the landlord may ban smoking under these new laws whether it is in the rental agreement, the lease, or not.
Only if the signed Lease states that written notice is required to renew. If it does not then you would need to take a look at your local landlord tenant laws / rights
It depends on your state's particular landlord-tenant act. Some states have different landlord-tenant acts for mobile home parks, for example. The below link shows a list of all 50 states' landlord-tenant acts. The applicability of the act is usually found at or near the beginning of the act.
For many United States car rental agencies, the minimum age for car rental is 25. For the companies who have a minimum age of 20 or lower, car rental is a possibility. These companies all make rental insurance available to these renters, and indeed recommend it.
In some states yes, in others no. Before demolition the landlord must give notices to vacate. The leases must expire or terminate in favor of the tenant.
Not unless it so states in the rental contract.
Not in Massachusetts. You should check your state's laws, but most states say no.
In many states it is illegal for a landlord to hold from a prospective tenant any material facts in the rental of that unit, such as that a death occurred in that unit. But the tenant would have to prove damages that resulted from the withholding of that material fact.
