If your landlord gave you 45 days to move can he keep the deposit on the basis that you did not give him a 30-day notice?

== == If your landlord gave you 45 days notice to move in writing he owes you your deposit. If you have it in writing take it to a lawyer. You don't give a landlord notice if he gave you the notice!
Update/ His notice to me was verbal. He said he was bring something for me to sign instead I woke up and find a 4 sale sign in the yard. Then the phone called started "maybe it would be best if you stayed then no it would be best if you left" this went on for 3 week then I moved which i would have NEVER done if it wasn't their idea. with nothing in writing do I still have a case
I am really not sure on that because the law is written notice is required when you are moving or when a landlord asks you to move out. If your lease was not in writing than you definitely should get your deposit back. You should get a copy of the landlord tenant act for your area. Some lawyers might give you a free "first time" meeting. Ours did and he has helped us greatly over the past years. Since i have no idea where you are from you could check the phone book for a government agency for renters rights. Good Luck!

How many days of notification does a landlord have to give before raising the rent?
Yes. If the rent is on a written lease then the lease must expire, and the landlord must give at least 30-days notice before the lease expires. If the rent is on a month-to-month basis, then the landlord must give a 30-day notice before the next rent is due. If the rent is on a weekly basis then the notice must be given at least one week before the rent is due.
Can a lanlord evict a tenant giving one weeks notice?
This depends on several factors, including whether the eviction is because of a serious or repititious lease violation, whether there is a written lease, and if the rent is on a month-to-month or week-to-week basis. Did the Landlord give the one-week notice or did the Tenant? Is there a written lease? Then the answer is probably "no," unless it's because of a serious or repititious violation of the terms of the lease. If there is no violation involved and there is a written lease, then the landlord or tenant must give at least a 30-day notice before the lease expires. The tenant cannot move out during the lease period unless the Landlord agrees to allow such. If there is no lease and the rent is month-to-month, then the landlord or tenant must give at least 30 days of notice before the next rent is due. If there is no lease and the rent is on a week-to-week basis, then one week's notice is given by either side, before the next rent is due. He can also give a week's notice if there is a lease and that lease is being seriously violated by the Tenant. Now, a week's notice, or whatever notice is given, is not an automatic right of the landlord to force you out of your home: he must follow proper eviction proceedings.
How do i renew one year lease?
Generally you can renew a lease by stating your intention in writing to the landlord and awaiting their response to you. If a landlord does not give you any type of response within 30 days of the end of your lease you are able to stay on a month to month basis. They must give you notice to leave, they can not make you leave. Generally a tenant does not have to give a notice to leave at the end of their lease.
Can my landlord come to collect rent and then say oh and by the way I'm selling the house so i need you to be out at the end of this month?
It depends on what your lease says. If you don't have a lease, or if it's written on a month-by-month basis, then the landlord can do that. Resist the urge to trash the place in your anger. Do take pictures after you've moved your stuff out and cleaned. Then the landlord can't make bogus claims to try and keep the damage deposit. (Plus you may need a letter of reference to get your next place--which the landlord should certainly be willing to do if he's giving you practically no notice.) I'm not a legal expert, just a tenant who was told after Christmas vacation one year that the landlord's wife was having a baby in February and they needed their space back with time to paint.
Cosigner agreement says 18 months until Im no longer Liable on a month to month agreement?
You might want to rephrase this question. In general, I will try to answer it as best as I can understanding that this question is regarding liability on a month-to-month tenant basis. On a month-to-month tenancy you are agreeing that there is no lease. Therefore you are free to move out of your apartment at any time without suffering any penalties such as forfeiture of your security deposit. If the last month's rent was collected in advance then you cannot move out of the apartment without a 30 day advanced notice or the landlord will keep that rent. I cannot see how you can have any type of 18 month agreement for a month-to-month tenancy. As I stated, with the 30 day notice you can terminate your residency at any time. Any changes to your month-to-month tenancy by the landlord, such as an increase in rent, requires that the landlord give you a 30 day notice before the next rent is due.
What are the accounts for deposit?

Can a landlord evict you on a law that has been repealed?
No, if the law has been repealed then it is inactive and is not a legal basis for anything.
Do the fair housing laws forbid the use of 'God' by a landlord?
Not sure what you mean. If you mean can a landlord discriminate in renting on the basis of religion, NO. If you mean can a landlord use the word "God" in speaking to you as a tenant - that's a matter of civility and if it offends you, you should politely ask whether the landlord could not use God's name when speaking with you. There is no guaranty how the landlord will react.
Is there any recourse as a tenant when there is a disruptive family above them and the police and landlord have been made aware several times but it continues?
Not much. That isn't a basis for a suit against the landlord. And, in most states, it would take at least a month for the landlord to evict the noisy tenants.
Can a landlord hold a tenant responsible for a lease agreement if the tenant was not mentally competent and no attorney was present at the signing of the lease agreement?
Did a court adjudicate the tenant as incompetent? Then, if and when the landlord sues, that would provide the basis for a defense. You can't stop the landlord from trying to recover damages.
Can a landlord terminate a lease in Florida?
Yes, absolutely. But be aware that the 30 day notice must be given at least 30 days before the next rent is due. Month to month basically means that: you're living on a month-to-month basis, a tenancy which can be terminated by either side with such notice given.
