If this noise is a problem for other tenants, the landlord may be in violation of the lease with the other tenants. This would give them a reason to leave before their lease is up.
The landlord must prepare the unit for rent as he would if the tenant moved out. In some states, if a tenant dies in the unit of a homicide or suicide, or was found in advanced decomp, the Landlord must state this to the potential tenant if such death occurred within the past eighteen months before any tenants move in, or the tenant can break the lease and sue the landlord for omission of a material fact.
Generally, the landlord should not be getting rent from two tenants at the same time for the same unit.
a landlord may not EVER break/violate a lease. [unless the tenant wishes it so]
In a month-to-month tenancy at will, the landlord can raise the rent by giving notice that the current tenancy will be terminated at the end of the next month, and that, if the tenants want to stay after that, the rent will be more. Today is May 11. If the rent is due on the first of each month, and if landlord gives notice on or before May 31, then the tenants are obligated to leave at the end of June, or pay the new rent on July 1.
Yes, a landlord can redecorate and fix the house for selling while the current tenants are still renting and living there, as long as it does not disrupt the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment and does not violate any terms specified in the lease agreement. The landlord should communicate with the tenants in advance about any planned renovations or repairs and try to schedule them at a convenient time for the tenants.
The landlord because it's his responsibility to fix it before the house and/or property is damaged.
In most states the landlord has to honor the terms of the lease until that lease ends, even if he plans to sell property.
A Tenant Check or Tenant Screening is a check initiated by a landlord or property owner before renting an apartment, room or house. The outcome will determine if the future tenants are able to afford the rent. It is also possible to find out if the tenants had any bad records before.
Yes. That's the short answer, but it's usually a condition of your lease.
There are landlord and owner liability insurances available. A good lease agreement and deposit for damages can also help you cover damages by tenants.
There is no law that requires this, but some landlords do it as a favor to new tenants (good customer service). I am not aware of any law that prohibits tenants from changing the locks themselves, but you would need to check the terms of your lease to see if you are permitted to do so (especially for apartments). If you would like your locks changed before you move into a rental location, insist that it is included in the lease before you agree to accept the terms of the lease. If the lease does not include the option, the landlord is under no obligation to change the locks.
