This is a two part question:
The first part - the landlord can hold a check for 6 months.
The second part - the landlord does not cause the tenant's account to overdraft. The tenant does. Checks may only be written from available funds. If the account holder does not account for the checks out, the account holder is liable.
What else can I help you with?
Define rental bond?
A rental bond - is a sum of money paid by the tenant - to offset any damage they might cause while living in the landlord's property. In the UK we call it a 'security deposit'.
What cause overdraft on cheque account?
Writing a check for more money than is actually in the account will result in an overdraft.
Can a prior landlord call new landlord 2 months after tenant leaves?
You might be asking if this is slander. It is slander, if someone says something about you, to another, and that statement is false, and causes you some loss. If what he tells the new landlord is true, there is likely no cause of action for slander.
Can someone be sued by a landlord if they are not the tenates?
The landlord can sue anyone if they cause damage in any way, regardless of tenancy status.
What can a fl landlord use a sec deposit for?
In Florida, the security deposit that a landlord collects must be deposited into a bank account, which does not have to be interest-bearing. If you violate the terms of your lease and/or cause damage to the rental property, the landlord may offset the cost of repairs against the amount of the security deposit he must return to you, which must be done within 30 days after you have departed the property. His failure to do this may result in his forfeiture of his right to keep whatever money he would otherwise have the right to keep.
Can a landlord demand carpets to be cleanded 6 months in to the lease. I pd. a 600 Security deposit and they said would evict if the carpets are not cleaned?
If there is a provision on the lease which requires that your carpet be cleaned six months prior to the expiration of the lease, then the landlord has the right to enforce those provisions. Additionally, if the carpet is damaged or dirty because of obvious abuse by the tenant and not the cause of normal wear and tear on the carpet, the landlord has the right to demand that the carpet be cleaned. However, if the carpet was not brand-new, then whatever dirt or damage occurred to it is measured according to wear and tear by the age of the carpet. Carpeting of five years of age or older is usually deemed to have reached its maximum age, for which the landlord has no claim. Finally, the landlord may not keep your entire security deposit simply because you didn't clean the carpet: he can only deduct the cost of cleaning the carpet from the security deposit. I doubt that your landlord can evict you simply because your carpet is dirty. If you have only been in your apartment for six months and your landlord evicts you because the carpet is dirty, then I would take pictures and present them to court to fight your landlord.
Can a tenant use an apartment for religious meetings without consulting the landlord first?
Probably. It would be difficult to evict someone for religious meetings, especially small groups. There is an argument that large, frequent meetings cause unusual wear and tear, but the landlord would probably have to wait until the end of the lease (and not renew) or, if the tenancy is month-to-month, give a one rental period notice to quit.
What legal action can the landlord take if you left the apartment four months prior to the lease expiration even though you gave them a thirty-day notice?
The Landlord has a duty to mitigate damages (in other words, to attempt to find a replacement tenant). However, if the Landlord is unable to find a replacement, the Landlord can bring a cause of action for breach of contract and is entitled to a full judgment of the remainder of the contract unless the vacated tenant can show frustration of purpose or some other appropriate remedy. The 30-day notice is irrelevant as to this scenario.
New york city you rent a house and signed a year lease the landlord told you to leave 2 months before the lease is up can you sue?
If you simply agreed to leave, then that may be it. If he evicted you for cause, you might owe him for those months. If he violated your quiet enjoyment in the way he asked you to leave, then you might be able to sue for up to three months.
I recently moved back into my rental property back in April of 2009. There is black mold growing in our bathtub-between where it should have been caulked. The first few days I coughed so hard I had to get medicine to help me breathe. How bad is this to us?
If you have toxic black mold in your home it can cause serious respitory illness. It is likely to effect people with asthma, allergies, and small children more seriously though. If you are staying in a rental unit contact your landlord as it is illegal to rent out a unit with black mold. The landlord will have to have it anaylized to see if it's toxic mold or a differnt type of mold.
Tips About House For Rent Section 8?
Families who earn at least 30 percent less than the median average for their location may qualify for a section eight government program. If you qualify for the program, you can choose housing that meets the requirements of the program. The Public Housing Agency administers the program in your area. This agency will pay the monthly rent amount to the landlord on behalf of the qualifying family. When you are accepted into the program, you will be required to attend a section eight briefing. The briefing will give you more information about the program and you will receive your rental assistance voucher. The leasing term is usually for 12 consecutive months. You can also use your voucher where you are presently renting a home, if your current landlord is in the section eight program. There are online public listings of rental homes that participate in the program. Research the online public listings in your area to find a new home. Check the neighborhood and schools to be sure the area is a safe place to live. Most landlords will require you to fill out a rental application. You may be required to pay a deposit by the landlord. The section eight program doesn't pay for rental deposits. Once you have found a qualifying home to rent, you will need to submit a request for approval from the Public Housing Agency. You must follow the guidelines set forth by the agency that you learned about in the briefing. Failure to pay your portion of the rent, engaging in criminal activity and failure to report changes to your household can cause you to lose your rental voucher. The agency requires a 10 day written notice when there is a change in your income or household size. You must pay any differences between the amount you are approved for, and the amount the landlord has set for the rental home. You can choose a home that is more expensive than the qualifying amount, as long as you are able to pay the difference. You can find a home for rent section 8 by searching online for rental home classified ads.
Can you take your landlord to court for putting you out?
It depends on the circumstances. If the landlord illegally evicted you, yes, you're entitled to damages as a result of a breach of lease and law. A landlord is required to give notice of lease terminate based on how often you pay rent or as specified in your lease agreement. If you pay rent every month, the landlord is required to give one months notice. If the landlord physically removed your possessions without a court ordered eviction or cause, he's responsible for not only the illegal eviction but the cost of the damages to property sustained in an illegal eviction. In many jurisdictions, you're also entitled to your full security deposit back as a result of a lease breach. However, if your landlord legally and lawfully evicted you, you do not have cause of action unless the landlord fails to return your security deposit. Remember, the landlord is entitled to inspect the unit for any damages and you are allowed by law to be present and given notification as to when the inspection will take place. You also have the right to refute in court any damages in which the landlord claims you caused. In most situations where a tenant has lived in a house, apartment, or room for 10 years or more, significant wear and tare is factored in.
