Can you legally withhold the rent in Texas due to landlord not maintaining property such as 2 broken windows since hurricane Ike almost 3 months ago?

No, you cannot withhold rent. You can write a letter asking the windows get repaired, then if they are not repaired in two weeks, let them know you will be getting them fixed yourself. Hire a professional for the job, pay them and give the reciepts to the landlord with the rest of the rent money. Just because the windows are broken does not mean you can live for free. You are still there, so there is still value.


Can you hold your rent in an excrow account?

If there is something wrong with your apartment, most state's laws allow you to withhold your rent, and write the landlord a letter stating what the problem is, and that the rent will be withheld until it is fixed. I would advise getting the local building inspector to visit, and write a report. Then, send the report with the letter to the landord.


Who do you report your Landlord to for not having fire alarms installed in your apartment?

The local building inspector. But, you should go to a hardware store, buy smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and install them. Then, deduct that cost from next month's rent, and send the receipts with the rent check. You'll be doing the landlord a favor. Last year, in Massachusetts, three landlords were indicted for manslaughter when some tenants died in their apartment, which had no smoke detectors.


Can a Manager or Landlord Wrongful withhold part of a security deposit even if you never moved in?

If an apartment is reserved for you, because you paid a security deposit, that means that the landlord is not able to rent it to anyone else. Hence, when you then decide not to move in after all, the landlord has still lost the rent which he might have collected by renting that apartmnent to a different renter. So yes, he can withhold the deposit. It is not a good idea to make a deposit on an apartment that you are not actually going to move into.


Is it legal for a landlord to withhold a key from his tenants until everyone has paid the first months payment?

Generally speaking, a tenant does not become such until he has been handed the keys to his dwelling. If the landlord has not received his first month's payment, this is the same as in not receiving the rent, which is payable in advance. Therefore the landlord does have the right to withhold the key.
