Consult a lawyer if you can. Attend your case in rent court, and if your landlord has done this without filing legal petition than you're entitled to stay in the residence

If you are locked out of your mailbox what can you do?

If you have a resident landlord, they may have a duplicate key. However, because it is illegal for them to use such keys, many will not keep them. Your alternatives are to have the landlord replace the lock, or to hire a locksmith on your own. If the lock has been changed on your mailbox while you are a paid tenant, you should contact your local postmaster or the Postal Inspection Service. This is almost always illegal.


Can a landlord lock out a sub-lesser out of their apartment?

If you sub-lease a unit, then the tenant that leases to you is considered your Landlord. Their landlord is NOT the sub-lessee's landlord. The master landlord, who usually does not allow subleasing, is not bound by the Landlord/Tenant Act toward the sub-lessee. So if they kick out your sub-landlord, they are kicking out EVERYONE. The master landlord cannot lock out his tenant unless they legally evict that tenant. Since a sub-lessee doesn't have the same rights, then they too are locked out.


Can a landlord lock you out if you owe rent?

No. (not in California, at least) They can evict you but there is a legal procedure for that and it does not start with being locked out. Aside from your legal rights, understand that paying rent is your responsibility and it is very unfair to live there and not pay so have some sympathy for your landlord.


If the Landlord signs the lease with a tenant and finds out the tenant has been evicted 8 times?

This should have been disclosed when the landlord performed the background check, before the lease was signed. Well, if the landlord had an application for an apartment to which the tenant denied having been evicted if there were questions that asked such, then the landlord can terminate the lease for the tenant having falsified the information given.

When you're renting an art studio and on a lease can you break your lease if your locked studio is being entered forcefully by other occupants and with a key by the landlord without your permission?

Yes, but seek legal counsel on how best to do it. If you don't have the protection of the law, the landlord could steal or destroy any and all of your property that he can. If it isn't the landlord breaking in, the landlord is legally obligated to provide reasonable assitance to help you protect your property.


How does a tenant terminate their lease with their landlord when the landlord does not do what is in the lease agreement?

You need to seek advice from your local landlord/tenant agency. They can review your situation and explain your options. If that's not possible then you should try the local bar association or contact an attorney who specializes in landlord/tenant issues. Check city, town, county and state listings in your phone book.
