There are many places where one could obtain a landlord lawyer. There are many legal aides and employees advertising at courthouses and police stations. One should look there.
Yes.
If a landlord lawyer opens your credit file without you saying so all you can do is go to another lawyer and see what they can do. There is not a lot that you can do to a lawyer.
Either he or his lawyer.
Find out if he has a criminal lawyer (call the court), and ask the lawyer who to pay.
If you pay the landlord for your electricity and it is an agreement in the rental contract and you are in the rears of your payment, it may be legal for the landlord to do so. To be sure, contact a lawyer.
See if your city or region has a Department of Housing. If you don't find one, look for legal aid or hire a lawyer.
If you fall on the property where you live, the question of whether or not you have a case against your landlord depends on a number of factors. If you think it is due to negligence on the part of your landlord, see a lawyer.
I'm no lawyer but... Probably not.
This sounds like either tort or contract law. Look in the Yellow Pages if you don't have a lawyer or can have one recommended to you. They advertise the types of cases they prefer to handle.
Before you get a lawyer go to the city and get them to inspect/ fine the landlord. You can file a complaint and they will force the landlord to clean it up. Let the city handle it and it won't cost you anything. Plus, he may have to do more than you see or may have had pass complaints against him.
I'm no lawyer but... If a landlord may charge a pet deposit at all, then surely they can change it for an animal in a tank.
