He can collect for any back rent owed. He can't try to collect for the months that the lease switched over to the new tenants, unless otherwise noted in your lease agreement.
Yes.
A landlord could not 'evict' someone who who has moved out and surrenderd keys. He might file a case for unpaid rent or physical damages.
If it is true fact, then yes.
The landlord has self-remedies, up to a point. But landlords cannot issue a "legal judgement". The landlord can deduct damages and unpaid rent from your security deposit, and the landlord or tenant can seek legal resolution.
Not if you listed your landlord as a creditor on your bankruptcy petition and that there is excess property to pay your landlord after secured creditors and your exemptions. Unpaid rent is an unsecured debt. If a judgment lien is filed, you can avoid it if filed shortly before bankruptcy filing.
Yes, but only if the landlord has a valid civil judgment against you.
If you were evicted for non-payment of rent, your landlord COULD file a lien against you for the unpaid amount.
No. The IRS will take an income tax refund for back federal or state taxes, unpaid child support or alimony, student loans in default, and any unpaid federal or government debt.
If you are the landlord and you are at the point of wanting to sue, you need to either speak to an eviction service or a lawyer. You do not want to get this wrong because US courts are very protective of tenants in these circumstances.
In most states if there is evidence of abandonment of the property by the tenant, the landlord can reclaim the property without going to court. If the tenant owes money the landlord can sue in absentia (must use tenant's last known address) for unpaid money and damages if applicable. If he leaves personal belongings you can dispose of them as you see fit.
Is Edison the Electric Company? If so then no, you can't be denied electric service simply because the landlord, or anyone else who lived there before you, owes the electric company money.
no I don't think so but they will send it to collection agency and u may have a hard time renting again
