Best Answer

If you have a lease that states the rental to be paid, and does not list changes if others move in, then your landlord cannot increase your rent until it is time to renew the lease.

If you have a lease that specifies more rent if more people live in the residence, then you have already agreed to the increase.

If you have no lease, your landlord can change the rent at any time, for any reason, unless your local laws say otherwise.

Is your name on the lease? If so it probably is illegal. But if it isn't then you probably have no legal recourse in this case.

No, a landlord cannot change the locks for abandonment if the tenant has not moved out of the rental property. Changing locks without proper legal process could be considered an illegal eviction and may expose the landlord to legal consequences.


Is it illegal to have your 21 year old boyfriend move when your pregnant and 17years of age?

No it is not illegal. I was 17 and pregnant when my boyfriend moved in with me. He was 21. Its not a big deal and then i just went and got married to him. In certain states you can get married with just a doctors note saying your pregnant. In Maryland is where i did it.

Does the landlord have to replace carpet if my apartment smells like cat URINE?

If the carpet originally smelled like that before you moved in, the landlord would have to do something about that. If it began smelling like cat urine after you moved in, I believe you would have to take care of that. Check your contract with the landlord.

Can a landlord file burglary charges after you have moved out of the unit?

Once you have moved out of your rental unit, as symbolized by the return of the key, you are no longer allowed in that unit. Even if you have a duplicate key, you are returning the unit to the landlord by virtue of the fact that you are handing that landlord such key or number of keys you were issued. This allows the landlord to rent out the unit or to prepare it for rent. Therefore burglary charges can be filed against you if you are found trying to reenter the unit.


Is a landlord required to replace appliances in California?

As I understand it, the landlord is required to maintain it essentially in the condition it was in when you moved in. So if there were working appliances when you rented it, they are responsible for the maintenance. If you are asking is the landlord required to provide new stuff when you move in, no.

Under some cercumstances, yes. Even if you never moved in your landlord held your apartment for you, keeping other people from renting it. Unless it was a circumstance beyond your control, if you abandon the apartment then the landlord, in most cases, can keep your deposit.
