Your answer depends on what you want to do.
- If the rent is paid for the full term of the lease agreement, then the landlord cannot rent the unit until the rent runs out.
- The landlord may want access to the unit to confirm that everything in the unit remains undamaged.
- If the landlord wants to rent the unit just because it's vacant, the landlord should refund the 'unused' rent to the departed tenant.

What can be done about a landlord that tells bold face lies about one tenant to another tenant?
Probably nothing can be done. Unless this slander has caused you some kind of loss, there is nothing a court could do about it. The law expects everyone to be thick-skinned.
Can a prior landlord call new landlord 2 months after tenant leaves?
You might be asking if this is slander. It is slander, if someone says something about you, to another, and that statement is false, and causes you some loss. If what he tells the new landlord is true, there is likely no cause of action for slander.
What if landlord does not claim rent as income and threatens to keep raising rent?
Whether the landlord tells the IRS about his rental income really has nothing to do with the tenant. Although, I suppose any tax-paying citizen has the right to report a cheater. In a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord can raise the rent any time, he just has to give a full rental period notice. So, if the rent is due on the first, and he gives notice October 13, the new rent kicks in December 1. That gives the tenant time to decide if he is going to move, or pay the new rent.
What if the new landlord tells you to find the old landlord to get back security deposit?
A new landlord has to have received the security deposit from the old landlord during the process of the closure of the sale of the property. The new landlord is responsible for that security deposit.

Is tenant legally required to pay rent if the owner of the house is in default?
Generally speaking, as long as the landlord has legal control over the property, the rent is still due him and he may continue collecting it. However, most Housing Authorities prohibit landlords from becoming in default of their mortgage. Generally speaking, if the Housing Authority tells you to continue to pay your rent, you must do so or risk eviction- And possibly the loss of your voucher.
What does 'lifted' mean when the justice of the peace tells the landlord during the eviction case when the tenant showed bankruptcy papers and the case was put on hold?

Can a landlord evict you for not paying rent when on sec 8 and tenant has damages reported to sec 8?
These are two separate issues: the first issue is whether the landlord can evict you for not paying rent. It doesn't matter whether you are on section 8: if you do not pay your rent on time the landlord does have the right to evict you. Whether you have reported any damages to the Housing Authority is irrelevant. If the damages that you reported to the Housing Authority is relevant to substandard living conditions, they have the right to have these damages corrected by the landlord or the landlord will not be paid their portion of your housing assistance payment (and you may not be responsible for your portion). Only if the Housing Authority tells you that you do not have to pay your rent would this be applicable. But if you have not received such notice, you are obliged to pay the rent on time.
Is it legal for a landlord to break his lease and evict his tenant?
Will your lease be up then? As I understand the state laws, a landlord may terminate a month-to-month lease agreement for any reason if he/she gives you at least 30 days' notice. However, a landlord may not evict you or terminate a lease early unless you're not paying rent or have in some way violated your agreement. I'd talk to my attorney first, but I think I'd end up letting him try to evict me in court if this is going to be his approach to renting to people. If the landlord tells you 30 days before the lease ends that he's moving in at the end of the lease, then you'll want to move out. Again, this is my sense after reading our state landlord-tenant law, however I'm not an attorney and you may want to consult one before tackling this on your own.
If you live in a house and it is sold does the old landlord have to give you back your security deposit?
No. In the estoppel that your old landlord signs to the new landlord the security deposit is turned over to the new landlord, who keeps the deposit where it is now, or tells you where your deposit will be located.
