In court, the tenant is on the losing end of this argument.

The only thing that you can do is secretly record yourself requesting receipts from the landlord for a specific time period and record him refusing to give you the receipt.

This is your proof that the landlord collects your rent but that he does no give you receipts.

When a judge sees the video or hears the recording your landlord is screwed.

Be slick - your landlord is.

Is the landlord responsible if he damages a tenant's computer?

Yes, the landlord is responsible. But keep in mind that this is not a landlord/tenant issue: it's a small claims issue. So this is heard in a small claims court inquired, not a landlord/tenant court.


Is a landlord required to provide a receipt to tenants if they request one?

I would think a definite yes, especially if you pay your rent in cash, instead of a check. Most landlords use a standard lease agreement, so read yours and see what it says about payments, receipts, etc. I would not recommend paying the rent until he agrees to give you a receipt with the date and the amount paid. Otherwise, you have no proof that you paid the rent, and it will be your word against his.


How long does a landlord have to give a security deposit back in Washington state?

I don't know WA law for I've never lived there. But in most states the landlord has thirty days to return any security deposits or receipts for repairs of any damage beyond wear and tear of the property. If the landlord doesn't return the security deposit or provide receipts within thirty days they usually forfeit any claims and all monies must be returned to the tenant.


How do you handle a neighbor damaging property line fence and than 9 months go by and he has not repaired it?

The least expensive way is through small claims court. Add up all the bills and receipts documenting the money you spend fixing the fence. Write your neighbor a letter asking for payment for that amount, and include copies of the bills and receipts. If your neighbor does not pay, sue him in small claims court for the money (see below links).

Can a new landlord demand an additional second security deposit of one months rent six months after the original landlord received an initial deposit equivilent to a months rent from a existing tenant?

I think he can since he is new. Did you get back your deposit from the original landlord? I would try to get it or find out where the money went. The money could have been handed over to the new landlord or landlord 1 kept it. You may be able to sue him in small claims court for your deposit.

If you want to take a landlord to court how long do you have to file against them?

If this helps any, a landlord is no different in terms of small claims or other civil court matter. If there are grounds to sue then you may do so. Check your state's Statute of Limitations laws to see how much time you have to sue a landlord or anyone else. Landlord and Tenant issues are only applicable to eviction proceedings, not small-claims court or other civil courts.


How does a new landlord place a lien on tenants security deposit with current landlord?
