Check first to see if there are leash laws. Most Cities now have leash laws. If your animal is not loud, aggressive, destroying property that is not yours (the fact you stated rent indicates this), or has a history of vicious behavior, most landlords have no legal standing to do anything about pets. Pets are property in most ALL States. They are considered the same as a TV or Stereo. Like a TV or Stereo, if it is too loud or destroying or compromising the "peace" of the neighborhood - the landlord has the right to evict or to give notice or warnings. It is their property. You are only "renting" it. And because there was no lease - you actually have no standing. Nor does the landlord. It is considered month by month tenancy and can be ended without notice by either party.

When renting an apt which includes utilities can a landlord include in the lease a clause for rent increase if utility usage is excessive?
If you signed the contract with that clause and there are no local laws contradicting the contract, yes. Check the laws in your area to be sure. The landlord in some regions can only increase the rent once per year and by a certain percentage. In this case, the landlord (under a yearly lease) needs to give proper notice of rent increase, usually 90 days. If the utilities are included in the rent, then I believe the landlord would have to follow those rules.
Can a landlord make you pay court cost if the landlord lost the eviction?
no. don't pay anything if you haven't signed anything saying you are going to pay (contract) it or a judge orders you to pay it.
If the home you live in is sold and you have signed a one year rental lease can the new owner evict you or do they have to honor the duration of your lease?
Due to the fact that the original landlord no longer owns the property which you are renting it makes the contract null and void and gives the current owner of said property the right to evict you at any time.
Can a landlord change a contract after signed?
Only if there is wording in the contract which permits this, or if the law in your state permits certain changes without mutual consent. Otherwise, by tampering with the contract your landlord may have voided the entire agreement. You should probably check with a real estate or civil attorney.
How many days should a landlord give you after you sign a contract to decide if you don't want to rent the house?

Can a landlord charge tentant for water bill renting a house in Michigan?
Yes. You will need to reference your lease that you signed when you got the place. It will spell out what utilities you are responsible for paying and whether or not the landlord has agreed to pay utilities for you.

Can you landlord have you sign a lease and then say you did not get the apartment?
No. A lease is a legally binding contract, which obligates both the landlord and tenant to a tenancy for the term of the lease. If you and the landlord both signed a lease, and the landlord refuses to give you occupancy of the property, you need to see a landlord-tenant attorney or tenant's rights group immediately!
Can a landlord evict someone living on their property when they haven't signed a lease?
I am presuming we have three components here: a landlord, a tenant, and a subtenant. The landlord in this case is presumably renting to a tenant, while the tenant is presumably renting to a subtenant. I presume that tenant has a lease while the subtenant doesn't. The tenant becomes the landlord for the subtenant. Since there is no lease (in most states subletting does not involve a lease) in this case, the tenant who is the subtenant landlord can evict the subtenant. While the main landlord can evict the tenant -which automatically evicts the subtenant -only the tenant can evict the subtenant. But the main landlord can evict all by evicting the tenant.
Can a landlord junk your car for money?
Only if you have signed a contract giving him right of repossession. Otherwise it is illegal for him to do so without a court order.

How long does a landlord have to fix a broken oven in NC?
i don't believe there's aytime limit....if there is, it'd have to be in the lease/agreement you signed before you started renting....i would assume no longer then 30 days, as that is usually the stereotype on which things can/will be done in the area of renting, such as evection and home owners insurance. (if you have things stolen from your house and the landlord has it, they will replace everything you lost)

Can a landlord cancel the lease agreement after it has been signed by both parties and the deposit has been paid?
Most lease contracts have a clause that reserves the landlord's right to cancel the agreement if certain conditions are met. If you believe your contract does not support that right, then the landlord may be violating the terms of the agreement. The only way to know for sure is to study the contract, or hire the services of a lawyer to help interpret the contract.
