Does a landlord have to have a reason to kick a tenant out?
Not really: a landlord can reclaim their property at the end of a lease-- no material reason needed-- or give notice to a month-to-month tenant (or week-to-week, if applicable).
How many days of notification does a landlord have to give before raising the rent?
Yes. If the rent is on a written lease then the lease must expire, and the landlord must give at least 30-days notice before the lease expires. If the rent is on a month-to-month basis, then the landlord must give a 30-day notice before the next rent is due. If the rent is on a weekly basis then the notice must be given at least one week before the rent is due.
Can maintenance enter a tenants property without the tenant being home?
The terms of the lease typically include an access clause. It will specifiy what rights the landlord has to enter the property and what types of notice they need to provide. In most cases they will have the right to enter to do emergency repairs to preserve the property without any notice. Routine maintenance and inspections will normally give 24 hour notice, but there are no garantees.
If renter has to move from a rental property because of landlords fault who is responsible for moving costs?
If the lease is month to month, the landlord just has to give you a month notice and you are gone. If there is a lease that is still in effect, the landlord is responsible for costs that you incurred as a result of the breach of the lease.
What are the laws concerning someone who rents a home and is the landlord of the home allowed to come in at any time?
Laws will be different from country to country, and possibly even from state to state in the US. I think virtually everywhere in the US, a landlord does not have the right to enter a rented (up-to-date) property at any time. Your rent doesn't give you full ownership of the property, but it does give you certain rights. The privacy of your home is something you should be able to expect when you rent and are current. The landlord does own the property, however, and has the right to inspect the property after giving you adequate notice (and possibly under other circumstances according to the law). You'll have to check local/state laws.
Is it legal for landlord to enter property to fix your lights if you are at work without letting you know?
Under most state laws a landlord must give you adequate notice before he can enter your property for routine maintenance or inspection. Absent this notice, he may enter your property if it's an emergency. However, in many states, your request for maintenance or repairs is sufficient to allow your landlord to enter your property without consent.
Is a landlord exempt from giving 30-days notice stated in the lease agreement to a tenant if the property is about to be sold at foreclosure?
No. If the property is about to be foreclosed, the landlord has no obligation to give the tenant any notice of anything. After the foreclosure, the landlord will have nothing to do with the tenant.
How much notice do landlords have to give tenants before entering home?
The landlord is typically required to give a tenant no-less than 48 hours notice prior to showing the apartment. A tenant also has the obligation to make the premises available to the landlord, after reasonable notice given, so that he/she may show the apartment.
Can landlord sell house that is being rented?
No. A lease is a legally binding contract that runs with a property, regardless of who owns the property. Unless there was a provision in the lease that specifically gave the landlord the right to break the lease upon sale of the property, you can compel the landlord and the new owner of the property to honor your lease. If you find that either the previous or new owner of the property is refusing to honor your lease, contact a landlord-tenant law attorney. A listing is available in your local phone book.
Does a landlord have the right to collect rent on a home with a notice of default?

Do you still have to pay your landlord if house is for sale?
If your landlord is selling the house you have to continue paying the rent for it, whether to the old landlord or to the new one. Your old landlord will give you notice about when they have sold the property, and the new landlord will give you instructions on how to pay them the rent.
If your landlord owns the rental property that you live in and and wants to sell it what are your rights?
If the landlord wants to sell the rental property, the tenant has different rights depending on what state the property is in. Usually, a landlord has to give 60 days notice for an intent to sell. Then, it is up to the landlord whether or not the property can be occupied by the tenant until the sale date. If there is a lease, the landlord usually cannot sell the property until the lease is up, but all states have different rules regarding occupancy.
Can a landlord lock you out of your apartment before 30day notice?
If your tenancy is an assured shorthold tenancy the landlord can not lock you out of the property until the courts appoint a bailiff to evict you. Prior to this you would normally receive 2 months written notice (section 21) and you would have been asked to attend a court hearing in order to vacate the premises (after the expiry of the section 21 notice).
