This depends on the type of dwelling and the state that you live in. In most apartment buildings the landlord pays for the water. But not in all. For houses, duplexes, trailers, and other detached property, normally the tenant pays the water.
Yes.
Yes, unless it states in your contract "bills included".
No. You have the right to ask questions about this matter as every tenant who faces the uncertainty of his landlord being under foreclosure. But remember: as long as the landlord has control of the property he can still collect rent from you and evict you if you don't pay it.
No.
In answer to the question 'Can your landlord evict you', the answer is 'yes'.
A landlord can evict you no matter what because it's her property and she can do whatever she wants with it. But if you think of it, if she doesn't own the property anymore, who would you pay rent to, and you just can't live there for free and I'm pretty sure you can't pay the bank rent.
If the landlord still has control over the property he can still collect rent-- and evict you if you don't pay.
Yes he can. The fact that he owes you $20,000 doesn't mean you don't owe you one rent. If you want to force your landlord to pay you the $20,000 then you will have to sue in court.
These are two separate issues: the first issue is whether the landlord can evict you for not paying rent. It doesn't matter whether you are on section 8: if you do not pay your rent on time the landlord does have the right to evict you. Whether you have reported any damages to the Housing Authority is irrelevant. If the damages that you reported to the Housing Authority is relevant to substandard living conditions, they have the right to have these damages corrected by the landlord or the landlord will not be paid their portion of your housing assistance payment (and you may not be responsible for your portion). Only if the Housing Authority tells you that you do not have to pay your rent would this be applicable. But if you have not received such notice, you are obliged to pay the rent on time.
Yes--as long as that is a part of the rental agreement.
It's a three-day notice: pay your rent or move out. If you do neither, your landlord has the right to evict you.
Yes, you have to pay rent to a landlord whose property is in default. As long as the landlord still has control over the property he can still collect rent from you and evict you if it's not paid. A foreclosure of a home is a matter between the owner of the home and his lender, not the tenant.
A business cannot file a chapter 13. But a person can be evicted if he does not pay rent.
