If they have a lease agreement, if they allow pets, if there is a deposit required and is there a credit check?
Your lease should answer all of these questions. The landlord should take care of what is theirs (carpets, drywall, etc.) They will not cover the contents of your apartment. This is why you should always get renters insurance!
No. This is an act of god. You should notify your car insurance.
You can usually tell by the upkeep of the apartment building. As far as your landlord's character try talking to some of the other tenants.
It is very important for a landlord to get contents insurance if they are renting out a property with furniture included. If then the contents are damaged by the tennants then the landlord will be able to use the insurance policy to replace them.
You do have some legal rights when renting a house. The house should be clean and liveable, the landlord should tell you when he is coming over to fix the house, the landlord cannot have the locks changed.
Unless you had an agreement with the landlord to that effect, no. If you repainted it because you just wanted a different color, then it's not likely.
It depends on your contract, but it is a very common courtesy that if you are renting form him he should provide. though if you are not home expect that the landlord will enter.
I know of no law that forbids renting to a felon, or a gang member.Another PerspectiveA landlord has the responsibility to provide tenants with a safe and healthy environment. Renting units to known gang members who then cause damages, harm or loss to the other tenants may create some liability for the landlord. If that is the case you should consult with an attorney or with a landlord-tenant agency in your town who can review your situation and explain your options, if any.
Do you work and i need to see some refrences
If you have homeowners insurance I would call them and they can recommend the best person for you. If you are renting then it will be your landlord's job to fix it and you should call them.
Not sure what you mean. If you mean can a landlord discriminate in renting on the basis of religion, NO. If you mean can a landlord use the word "God" in speaking to you as a tenant - that's a matter of civility and if it offends you, you should politely ask whether the landlord could not use God's name when speaking with you. There is no guaranty how the landlord will react.
I don't know what you are thinking in terms of "shared accommodation" but it looks like you're not sharing with the landlord. Whatever property the landlord leases out is no longer his to use so he should not stay. If, however, you are renting a room in the landlord's house and have shared access to the kitchen, for example, then the landlord can still use the kitchen, of course.
