What if a landlord do not have a co?
If a landlord does not have a valid Certificate of Occupancy (CO), he or she is not entitled to rent the structure for the purposes of habitation. That means you are not lawfully allowed to collect rent for the property. A tenant may have a claim against you if rent it, the tenant decides to move, and you withhold any portion of the security, when you do not have the privilege to do so.In some states, the fact you did not have a CO can result in the tenant winning double or even triple damages.
Can you sue a property manager if he does not collect rent?
Generally there is no point in suing a property manager for not collecting rent. It should be noted that the tenant is responsible for paying his rent on time. It is not the responsibility for the landlord to collect the rent. If the landlord does not collect rent and the tenant should send it to the landlord by mail or in person.
Can my landlady take me to court for unpaid rent after I have left rental which wasn't up to code?
Your question would best be answered by an attorney in your area that specializes in landlord-tenant law (some offer free consultations which may yield a more detailed and specialized answer).Generally speaking, if the landlord and you entered into a leasehold (either verbal or written) for specific amount of monies in exchange for your housing, you're bound the terms and must pay all rent on time and in full.There are certain circumstances where a landlord may not be able to collect his rent under authority of law because the house was not legally deemed fit for habitation. A respective landlord needs a permit called a Certificate of Occupancy to legally rent a unit to another. This is a permit issued by the government after it has inspected the property to ensure it's up to compliance with health & safety codes. You can contact your local governments office that handles these. If you're unsure who would handle that information, just call your city hall and ask.If you should find out your landlord was not entitled to collect rent because he did not have a certificate an occupancy, you may have a defense to any claim they raise about past rent. However, don't think the Judge will excuse the fact that you were living there rent free.Otherwise, If you failed to pay your rent your ex-landlord can take you to court to sue for the back rent. Just because you leave the unit does not negate the liability you had/have to her.
Can a landlord continue to collect rent if title to the property has been transferred to a trustee?
I wouldn't think so, since the landlord transferred the land to a trustee the "landlord" couldn't have that title anymore, the trustee would so the trustee would collect the rent instead of the "old" landlord On the other hand you should ask if the "landlord" has been appointed the agent and property manager for the property owner. That appointment must be in writing and recorded in the land records. In that case they certainly may collect the rent.

That would be a matter that's between the landlord and the lender or bankruptcy trustee, not the tenant.
