Normally you have the right to get a receipt upon your rent payment. However, if you paid by check or credit/debit card, the canceled check or the printer receipt may serve as your rent receipt. If you are applying for Government programs, such as SNAP, your landlord must cooperate fully in supplying the information needed to apply for such program.
Tenant rights if my lease has expired and I am giving the landlord a 30 notice to vacate,can I be evicted?
No. If the property is about to be foreclosed, the landlord has no obligation to give the tenant any notice of anything. After the foreclosure, the landlord will have nothing to do with the tenant.
The landlord needs to prove it is false.
not in any state. To get repairs, the tenant needs to give the LL 30 days to make any repairs. If not done, the tenant is to call licensed contractors who do the kinds of work done that the tenant needs done. THE tenant pays the contractor and gets a receipt. The tenant gives a copy of the receipt and any remaining rent [gross rent minus that amount paid for repairs] due to the landlord.
Yes. The tenant should write a letter explaining why they are deducting, and giving an accounting.
First, call the local board of health and ask them to document the situation. If the landlord does not exterminate soon, the tenant could hire an exterminator, and deduct that amount from the rent, sending the receipt to the landlord.
The possessive forms are landlord's and tenant's; for example:The tenant's apartment is the best one in the landlord's building.
If the judgement was in favor or the tenant then the tenant won in court. An attorney is more qualified to explain the courts ruling.
In many states, yes; in many, no. But if a landlord doesn't give a tenant a copy of his lease then he cannot expect the tenant to follow all the terms of it. If the tenant does fail to follow the terms and the landlord takes him to court, the tenant can argue that he wasn't provided a copy of the lease.
The tenant should stop paying rent whenever the governmental agency to whom the taxes are owed threatens to foreclose or repossess the property. In that case, the tenant should demand (in writing) that the landlord pay the delinquent taxes. If the landlord refuses, the tenant should move (again, upon giving written notice to the landlord).
If the rent was not paid the landlord can file eviction proceedings against the tenant.
