I would think a definite yes, especially if you pay your rent in cash, instead of a check. Most landlords use a standard lease agreement, so read yours and see what it says about payments, receipts, etc. I would not recommend paying the rent until he agrees to give you a receipt with the date and the amount paid. Otherwise, you have no proof that you paid the rent, and it will be your word against his.
In California, the landlord must provide copies of receipts if withholding money from the security deposit, I believe. The tenant must ask for them, they aren't automatically offered.
Other states probably have similar laws.
Check with your local Housing Authority.
This depends on the law of the state, but, in every state I know of, yes. But, the tenant should request the receipts in writing. I doubt a court would punish a landlord just because they didn't provide the receipts in the beginning. If they don't provide receipts after the written request, file a small claims action.
Typically the damage deposit remains the legal property of the tenant until the landlord provides PROOF that the landlord has somehow "earned" the right to keep it, i.e., by proving the costs of repairs.
Some states have laws that are very specific about what documentation the landlord must provide, when it must be provided (e.g., within 14 days), and what the tenant must do if he or she objects to the accounting. The landlord is often required to return the ENTIRE deposit if they fail to comply with the law, but that certainly doesn't stop the landlord from suing the tenant for non-payment.
No a landlord cannot request tax returns Anyone can request them from you. You can provide them to anyone you want. They can not get them from anyone else.
Request? Certainly. You can request anything; you could request that the landlord provide you with a new car every year. However, realistically, if the apartment was within code when it was built, and has been reasonably maintained, then the landlord is not required to add more electrical outlets. Rewiring an apartment is a large expense, and not one that most landlords will be willing to incur.
It can mean where an estoppel certificate is required of a landlord (they can are also sometimes required of the tenant), where the landlord is required to make certain representations regarding the state of the lease (neither tenant nor landlord are in default), the state of the underlying property (e.g. no encumbrances, or no default on mortgage, or no condemnation proceedings) or other representations at the request of a lender (to the landlord or the tenant) or a buyer of the property.

Yes, only if the Landlord accepts. This is usually a request by a Tenant that is most often denied by the Landlord.
Lender is supposed to provide confirmation that they received QWR within 20 days, as required under 12 U.S.C. §2605(e). Thereafter, they have 60 days of their receipt of QWR to respond to you, also as required under 12 U.S.C. §2605(e)
No. Of course not.
Yes, an HOA can refuse to issue an estoppel letter if certain conditions are not met. These conditions typically include unpaid fees or violations of HOA rules. It's important to review the HOA's governing documents to understand the specific circumstances under which they may withhold an estoppel letter.
