Can a landlord charge for the use of a dish network?
yes. your landlord owns the apartment where you are living. however, it is better to ask them if they are using dish network satellite tv service. if they are using it, i suggest to talk with your landlord that you want to share with the service. you just need to pay for the 2nd receiver box.
Is it illegal for my landlord to go thru my mail inside my house with my name on it?
This depends on whether your landlord is responsible to ensure everyone gets their mail. If you are living in an apartment with a separate apartment number, then there should be a mailbox for that apartment, and the landlord should not have to look in the mail to see to whom it is distributed. But if you are living in some type of communal environment, or a hotel/motel, then the landlord or innkeeper must sort through the mail to deliver it properly.
Does a landlord need to paint your apartment if the tenant is living in the apartment more than 5 years?
Depends on how the lease is written: normally the tenant is responsible for painting interior.
Does a tenant have to pay rent in his current apartment while searching for a new apartment?
Of course! You are living in the apartment and therefore are obligated to pay to live there. Why would one think that the landlord would pay your rent?

Can you be evicted from your apartment for a crime someone else committed?
You need to add more details. If the person who committed the crime was living in your apartment in violation of your lease your landlord may have reason to evict you.
How do you evict someone who is not paying rent and living with you?
You call the landlord. If you own the place, you can give the person one month to get out of the apartment after which you can change the locks.
What happens when judgement is file against you from an apartment complex and you are still living in the apartment?
This means the apartment is allowing you to still live there (perhaps you settled and paid the arrears but not before the Landlord obtained a Judgment or writ of execution against you but chose not to kick you out)
Do I need to purchase rental insurance for living in furnished apartments?
This depends on your landlord. Even if your landlord doesn't require renters insurance, you should buy a policy anyway, since you're going to have stuff of your own in your apartment.
Can a landlord rent to a minor?
The thing is, every apartment, house or living quarters has a limit as to how many people are legally allowed to reside there. So, when you put an apartment up for rent, as a landlord, you are supposed to know beforehand what that number is. So, if the apartment is a two bedroom apartment and there are two parents with two children of the same sex, that would be within the law, therefore one price without modification for the two children. If they are trying to charge for the children, I would question it as if you are within the number of people allowed for that unit, one price should do it and not extra for kids within that number. BUT, unless there is a law saying you CANNOT CHARGE EXTRA FOR KIDS, which I dont think there is such a thing, the landlord can pretty much charge what he wants. It is possible that he is charging additional because kids traditionally make more damages of property, simply because they are kids, rather than four adults.
How often is New York state landlord required to paint the apartment?
Depends on the state you live in. In Wisconsin, the landlord MUST repaint any unit between tenants. The short answer is: he (or she) is NOT required to paint an apartment. Generally, whether a landlord paints an apartment depends entirely on the conditions of the rental market at the time and location. If it's a landlord's market, don't expect the landlord to paint, even if the place is a mess. The responsibility and cost of painting will be on the renter. Renters should get the landlord's permission in writing before painting, however. In a renter's market, landlords may offer to paint the place before you move in. If you've been living there a while and your lease is ending, the landlord may be willing to paint your unit if he doesn't want to lose you as a tenant. But I certainly wouldn't expect an apartment to be pointed more frequently than once every five years or so. Any tenant of mine that required his unit to be painted more often than that is not one I'd want to keep.
Can you get evicted from an illegal apartment in nc?
Additional info I have been living in this apartment for 1 year in November and there is no lease. The "apartment" does not seem like an apartment from the outside, it looks like a tool shed. If a guest who has never seen it were to walk up to it, they would have no idea it is an apartment. The landlord built it himself, originally so his son could smoke pot there. Oh yea, landlord is a retired cop. Anyways, the apartment has no windows and no fire extinguisher and no smoke detectors. The kitchen and bathroom are all in one room. The only thing that separates the toilet from kitchen is a curtain. I recently lost my job and will not be able to pay rent until I find another job. I have never been late or behind on rent. Can the landlord evict me?
