Can landlord tell post office tenants have moved?
If the tenant has abandoned the property, moved and legally ended their tenancy, if the landlord owns the mailbox, he may return the mail to the post office UNOPENED. The landlord may NOT open or keep the mail. That is the recipient's property by Federal Postal Regulations. Once the tenant has legally vacated the property, the landlord has a right to the mailbox container, its security and use. The landlord, as the owner of the property does have the right to tell the post office the recipient may no longer receive the mail, HOWEVER, he must not destroy the mail or complete a forwarding order, etc.
Can I withhold rent in Oklahoma because our landlord isn't doing anything about the abundance of ants in our home that we told him about the night we moved in?
If you can, find a solution and then talk to him about payment for the solution. Then, have him sign permission to charge the cost against your rent. Withholding rent rarely works in the tenant's favor. If the solution cannot be handled face-to-face, check on your local landlord/tenant laws.
What are renters' legal rights in Arizona?
There are Landlord and Tenant Laws in Arizona. Two points are that the landlord is required to give you an itemized list of things you have to pay for after moving out--within 14 days. If the list seems extreme, you can go to small claims court to try to get the charges removed. However, you'll need backup information: the list that you filled out and signed when you moved in, affadavits from people who helped you move as to the condition of the place and so on.

Can a landlord take you to small claims court over unpaid rent even though you paid it and he has no proof When I paid my rent to him he never gave me any type of receipt showing it was paid?
Yes, if you have not fulfilled the terms of the lease. For instance if you moved out during the term of the lease, you would be liable for ALL the rent due for the entire term of the lease even though you had moved out. You may also not have given any notice required by the lease and thus be liable for the rent during this notice period. You may also have neglected to inform the landlord in writing that you wished to end the lease in which case you are still bound by the lease. Understand that a lease is a binding contract it gives YOU certain rights but it also requires you to pay the rent due to the landlord.

Can a landlord file burglary charges after you have moved out of the unit?
Once you have moved out of your rental unit, as symbolized by the return of the key, you are no longer allowed in that unit. Even if you have a duplicate key, you are returning the unit to the landlord by virtue of the fact that you are handing that landlord such key or number of keys you were issued. This allows the landlord to rent out the unit or to prepare it for rent. Therefore burglary charges can be filed against you if you are found trying to reenter the unit.

How much of your security deposit did your landlord take for a messed up carpet after you moved out?
I have had all (£300) of my deposit taken in the past for a soiled carpet. But usually, where it is a case of simple dirt and not damage, the landlord should only take the amount required for cleaning (approx. £50-£100). Carpet shampooers can be hired from rental shops for as little as £30 per day (shampoo included) and can make a big difference.
