Best Answer

Yes.

Unless there is some kind of discrimination or retaliation (enough to convince a judge), this is not permissible.

What can landlord do when tenant moves out but pays rent and tells landlord nothing?

Your answer depends on what you want to do.If the rent is paid for the full term of the lease agreement, then the landlord cannot rent the unit until the rent runs out.The landlord may want access to the unit to confirm that everything in the unit remains undamaged.If the landlord wants to rent the unit just because it's vacant, the landlord should refund the 'unused' rent to the departed tenant.


Can a landlord file burglary charges after you have moved out of the unit?

Once you have moved out of your rental unit, as symbolized by the return of the key, you are no longer allowed in that unit. Even if you have a duplicate key, you are returning the unit to the landlord by virtue of the fact that you are handing that landlord such key or number of keys you were issued. This allows the landlord to rent out the unit or to prepare it for rent. Therefore burglary charges can be filed against you if you are found trying to reenter the unit.

Read your lease and learn more about how you are required -- or not -- to permit entry to the unit that you rent.

This is a discussion-worthy point between you and your landlord.


What if the landlord raises the rent after you apply for tenancy?

Your rent cannot be raised during the term of your lease. If you're applying for tenancy and the rent is raised, then the unit is being offered at that rate. You can accept it as such, perhaps negotiate with the landlord to lower the rent to which you will sign the lease, or refuse to sign and cancel your tenancy offer.

Can a landlord use your last month's rent to repair the apartment?

No. Your last month's rent is that: your last month's rent. The landlord must allow you to stay in your apartment for the last month and not use that money for any other reason. If the landlord collected a security deposit then he can use it to repair his unit: IF you are the one who damaged it outside the realm of normal wear and tear. He cannot use your security deposit as your last month's rent unless you agree to it.
