Best Answer

No. Most state laws prohibit a landlord from entering a rental unit without reasonable notice, and permit access at reasonable times after proper notice is given. The exception is in the case of emergency, like a fire or serious water leak. Did the landlord claim your unit needed some emergency remodeling?

How should a landlord notify a tenant that the apartment will be painted?

A landlord must notify a tenant at least 24 hours in advance of any work that is about to be done on the property. It should be done in writing.


How do you get payment on work you have done on mobile home for exchange for rent?

Hopefully this agreement was set down on paper, or the verbal officer was witnessed by a third party. If you performed work on the mobile home in exchange for your rent, there will be no actual exchange of money. You are owed as many months rent-free as the agrement you made with your landlord.


Can a landlord charge the tenant for cleaning an apartment if the landlord does the work himself?

In Illinois can you hold rent until landlord fix problems in home?

That is not a wise thing to do. If the problems are severe enough that house is unsafe, check your state's landlord and tenant laws. There may be a way to either void the lease or to notify the landlord that the repairs will be done and an amount billed to him. You'll have to check to see what will actually work (no loopholes!) in your favor. Some landlords never do fix the items, but at least you have it on your list so they can't charge you.


What right does a tenant have over the landlord when the tenant uses his money to complete work in his rented apartment with verbal authorization from landlord?

that anything you do with the landlord, even if he's a family member, should be done in writing. Verbal agreements are generally not binding in a court of law. If you are living under a verbal agreement with your landlord, then the fact that he is accepting your money for rent is legal binding for your right to stay there. As such, there are rules that he must follow if he wants to increase the rent or change any terms of the agreement between you and him. For example, for an increase of the rent to landlord must give you at least a 30 day notice, if the rent is month-to-month, before the next rent is due, that such rent will increase. Now, to answer your question, a tenant does not have any rights over the landlord regarding work done on the property at his own expense. If you, the tenant, perform certain work on the property with verbal authorization from your landlord, then the best you can do is sue the landlord if he doesn't pay you back. Any home improvements done on rental property cannot be reversed if the tenant later decides to move out. For example, if you, the tenant, decide to install a ceiling fan into your bedroom where there was no ceiling fan in the first place, then the ceiling fan becomes part of the property and you cannot remove it before you move out. If you ever have a gut feeling about your landlord, that it's up to you to protect yourself getting whatever you can in writing.
