Can your landlord enter your apartment when you are not home enter your apartment when you are not home in England?
No he is not allowed to enter your home without your permission (given that you are paying rent and have a contract). Unless he suspects something to be wrong. Like a fire, water leak and stuff of that nature (that can damage the property). Even if the landlord is entering to fix something that you have reported to be broken he has to set a date with you or give you notice for the day of the repair.
In Texas can a landlord enter the house without permission?
In almost any state a landlord can enter the premises if there is good cause (leaking pipes, electrical problems, etc;) Your landlord should make an effort to contact you first but regardless of your consent, the landlord may go in and inspect if there is a potential hazard to the building or other tenants. It is important to remember that while your landlord owns the property, you, as a renter retain temporal eminence (meaning that you are the temporary owner). However, the landlord has a right to look after his/her long term interests. If the landlord feels that you have violated the terms of the lease, let's say that your contract forbids a water bed in the apartment unit and your neighbor below is complaining of water leaking through the ceiling; the landlord attempts to contact you by phone but you do not answer. In this case the landlord has the obligation to the one tenant complaining of water leaking through the ceiling by entering your apartment to find the cause. Like most legal matters the situation is governed by the "reasonable-ness" of the case. Your landlord cannot enter your apartment to look around, to open your drawers or inspect the quality of your furniture or even to make sure you are in compliance of the terms of the lease, that would be a violation of your right of privacy. It would be reasonable to presume that if your lease stated that you may not have a dog as a pet for any period of time and the landlord hears barking in your apartment, he /she may enter because the barking would make it reasonable to believe that there is a dog in the apartment.

Do I need to purchase rental insurance for living in furnished apartments?
This depends on your landlord. Even if your landlord doesn't require renters insurance, you should buy a policy anyway, since you're going to have stuff of your own in your apartment.
What if Landlord had your apartment exterminated only for roaches knowing that you have a bedbug infestation Landlord refuses to do anything else and will not pay for any more exterminating?
First of all, who caused the bedbugs? Unless you just moved in, or live in an apartment building, it will be assumed that you brought in the bedbugs. Even in an apartment, if no one else is having bedbug problems, and you are not a new tenant, the bedbugs are presumed to be your fault. Therefore, the landlord has no duty to exterminate them, though he may do so and demand that you pay the cost. If you did not bring in the bedbugs, talk to a lawyer, as the landlord may be violating the implied warranty of habitability.
If you co-signed for an ex-girlfriend's apartment and she did not pay rent can you be held liable if the landlord sues you for breach of contract even though you did not live there?
Yes. The fact that you co-signed mandates your liability. It does not matter that you do not live in the apartment.

Can a landlord enter your apartment when you are home and did not get to the door in time Situation is Rent is paid late fees are not landlord is harassing tenant knocks on door and then enters?
The Landlord has no right to enter unless you've been given 24 hours notice. The only time he can "barge" in, is if there is an immediate problem (bursting pipe, fire, etc.). Even then (s)he should call you and let you know about it. Regardless if you're rent is paid in full, just a little late, or missing the late fees. They have no right to do that. Check with your state laws, but I believe that law is a given in any state.
What are landlord rights regarding declawing cats?
A landlord may request that you declaw your cat, but cannot require that you do so, nor can he enter that as part of your lease. However, your landlord does have the right to decide whether you get to keep your cat. He can even charge a pet fee.
Does a landlord have the right to tell you who you may have in your apartment?
It depends on the contract you signed. Generally a landlord cannot tell you who to have in your apartment unless you are making excessive noise or someone is living with you on and off and even then seldom does a landlord say anything. Some apartments or condos can tell a tenant how many people can be in their place at one time and also demand that guests do not park outside the building or underground parking. I'd say on the whole that your landlord is stepping on your privacy rights if you are not causing any disruptions such as partying or loud music. A landlord by law in Canada has to give 24 hours notice to enter into your apartment, but can let themselves into your apartment if you are not home for emergency purposes only such as a leaky pipe, etc. ANSWER Open-ended questions like this are tedious, at best. I will forbid visitors who have a history of disruptions. I will forbid anyone I have evicted before. I will forbid anyone I have had complaints about. I will forbid anyone the police have told me are "problems." I will forbid groups of young teens hanging out in your place. Be more specific for a better answer.
Can you charge roommate more for rent than the landlord?
No, as a roommate, you cannot charge your roommate more for rent than what the landlord has set. The rent amount is determined by the landlord or the lease agreement, and it is not within your rights to charge a higher amount without the landlord's permission.
