What else can I help you with?
Does the landlord have to knock before entering the property if 24 hours notice is given to the tenant?
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.
What legal action can the landlord take if you left the apartment four months prior to the lease expiration even though you gave them a thirty-day notice?
The Landlord has a duty to mitigate damages (in other words, to attempt to find a replacement tenant). However, if the Landlord is unable to find a replacement, the Landlord can bring a cause of action for breach of contract and is entitled to a full judgment of the remainder of the contract unless the vacated tenant can show frustration of purpose or some other appropriate remedy. The 30-day notice is irrelevant as to this scenario.
Can a landlord increase your rent before the current contract ends?
Well, what's a contract versus a lease? A contract may not be a lease. If this is the case then the rent can be increased given proper notice (for example if you pay by the month then your landlord must give you notice of at least 30 days before the next rent is due). If the contract is actually a lease then the landlord normally cannot increase the rent until the lease expires, and must give you proper notice of such increase (at least 30 days before the next rent is due).
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.

Your landlord has broken his side of the contract by not giving you notice that hes coming down to the house can you legally break your contract due to this?
The unlawful entry is usually not grounds for breaking the lease, although, depending on what he did when he entered, a judge might see fit to vacate the lease. It would have to be pretty bad. But, in some U.S. states, the tenant could now sue the landlord for the breach of habitability, for as much as three months rent. A landlord faced with that might agree to break the lease.
Is verbal notice for cancellation of rental agreement by tenants legally acceptable?
No. Termination of a contract must be in writing.
Can you decide not to renew your lease after your time to give a 30-day notice is up?
Different States and Counties have different laws on this. In California, you must give 30 day written notice. If you already agreed to renew your lease, you are more than likely stuck with it (unless it's month to month). That is a contract, and your landlord legally has the right to uphold it. Bring it up to your landlord, and see what they can do. Never hurts to ask.
What is the meaning of letter of intent?
It simply is a written notification, that places another party on notice, that the writer 'intends' to do something. However, it does not have the force of law of a contract (for instance), and anyone who receives such a notice should not necessarily rely on the outcome of the other party's intent.
Does my landlord have to give me a 30 or 60 day notice of rent increase greater than10 percent in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin does not have any laws specifying how much notice a landlord must give you in order to raise your rent. Your original lease should specify how much advance notice will be given. On a month to month lease, the landlord is required to give a minimum of 28 days notice, the same as beginning eviction proceedings. If your current lease is still valid, the landlord cannot legally change the rent until the lease ends.
