Generally he can go back as far as you owe the rent. But a landlord can only evict you for not paying the rent, not for money that you owe for back rent. If your landlord accepts your money for the correct amount of rent, he cannot evict you for the back amount, but he can sue you for that.
There is no time limit imposed upon the IRS if there is any evidence of tax fraud on behalf of the taxpayer. Normally they do not go back past 7 years but if fraud was involved or intentionally not paying the amount of taxes due then the IRS can go back as long as is necessary.
Unless the debt was 'discharged' by the court in a bankruptcy action, there is no limitation on how far back they can go in order to try to collect it.
If you mean, "how far behind on the rent does the person have to be", you can give a notice to quit when the rent is a day late.
10 year's
Most landlords check back at least two years, some check as far back as seven years. Some do not check at all. Generally the more high rent the place is the more thoughlhly they will check.
It depends, If it was a private owner then you can talk and negotiate a plan that works, if you were able to get the rent money owed to them in a short time. It also depends on the person, if they are understanding or not. For a commercial property, they dont negotiate as well and also they are not as understanding. But i know that if you are behind 2-3 payments then a evicted notice is issued, you have about a week or 2 to leave.
I have rented to Section 8 tenants and have no complaints. Rent is paid on time. As far as damages, it's like any other tenant. That's why you collect a security deposit and if that doesn't cover damages you can sue the tenant. But a tenant on Section 8, good luck.
There are 7, so far!:)
Far too many unknowns to give a definitive answer !
Not as far as I can tell, but you can buy used.
This might depend on what state you are in, but, in every state I know of, you can get a Notice to Quit if the rent is a day late.
as far back as wherever you started from
