If I paid my rent on time the landlord claims it is not received and does not offer rent payment receipts what can I do?
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.
Two tenants fight. tenant 1 starts the fight and has been a trouble-maker from day one. tenant 2 gets a 30 day eviction notice because tenant 1 is buddy-buddy with the landlord. what now?
Tenant 1 started it, and Tenant 2 finished it. Both are at fault for the incident. So, whatever the manager decides is the way it goes. Tenant 2 sucks it up to experience, and finds another place to live and moves there within 30 days. Despite the circumstances, leaving with as much grace as Tenant 2 can muster--leave the place absolutely clean, do not trash anything, take pictures and get a friend to sign an affidavit as to the condition of the apartment when you leave--and you can move on. Despite the apparent injustice, it is a good thing to move away from a bad neighbor. As a real estate law student, I am quite familiar with real estate and landlord-tenant law. Since both tenants fought, and only tenant 2 was evicted, there would need to be more reasons to evict tenant 2 than just the fight. For example, if tenant 2 had been constantly not paying rent on time, the landlord would be justified in evicting him. However, if tenant 2 had no other problems, and was evicted only for the fight, tenant 2 would have a prima facie claim of discrimination against the landlord, which could be used to answer a complaint for eviction. If I was tenant 2, I would retain a landlord-tenant attorney (supposing that I was not already one) or have the full support of a tenant's rights group experienced in litigation to help me through the process. I would write the landlord, telling him of the situation, and advise him that I would not vacate. Then, the landlord would likely institute an unlawful detainter (eviction) lawsuit, and I would answer it with an affirmative defense of discriminatory eviction (which is a legal defense). The case would likely proceed to trial, and I would likely win, and receive court costs and attorney fees with the case. If you want to simply move on with your life, and not get the justice you deserve, then it is a good idea to simply move out. Note that while photos and video are helpful, affidavits from friends or relatives are not admissible in court (your friends and relatives must be present in court as witnesses to avoid hearsay.) If you are in this situation, please see a tenant's rights group ASAP, and, if faced with an eviction summons, use the link to the answer form below.
