Yes. A lease is a contract, and can be enforced. However, no-one wants a tenant who's there against their will. So most landlords are pretty open to negotiation and settlement. Talk to them and see what they'll agree to.

Can a landlord in Illinois raise rents by different amounts when the units are identical and when tenants start at same rent initially?

The landlord can raise the rent as high as and to whom he likes, but not to protected classes of individuals on their sole basis of being in such class. For example the landlord can't raise their rents to gay couples or elderly people just because they fit into those categories. It's up to the tenant to decide whether they want to continue living there with the rent now raised.


Can a landlord redecorate and fix the house for selling while the current tenants are still renting and living there?

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.


Can a landlord rent out a room in a house you already rent in ca?

Not without a prior agreement, otherwise it violates the tenant-landlord laws. If you are just moving into a two bedroom apartment and there is a separate listing for one of the other rooms, yes they can. If they decide to go and rent out one of the other rooms when you are already living there, then they can only do that if you and your landlord are at a mutual agreement. Otherwise, they cannot. Don't worry, as long as you are paying the rent on time, they can't evict you for disagreeing with their plans. And if they try, you can sue them for it.


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.

What to do when renting a house and the landlord wont fix anything?

If the repairs needed are essential for living in the house you must give the landlord at least seven days of notice before the rent is due that you will be making the repairs and offsetting the rent. Your landlord could still evict you but if the repairs were essential you will win. If the repairs are non-essential you can choose not to renew the lease. If the essential repairs are expensive you can choose to break the lease and move out, and get your deposit back.
