∙ 2005-11-14 06:54:25The amount of time a landlord has to sue for damages will vary by state and the type of California. In California, for example, you have 4 years to make a claim on a written contract, and 3 years to file for property damage. A claim for unpaid rent on a written rental agreement is 4 years. Property damage might be 3 years from the date you moved out. The laws of your state may be different.

Check the landlord/tenant laws for your state. If they are going to sue, they must notify you--often by certified letter. However, the issue may be moot if they were able to rent the place out right away. If it has been awhile, you can avoid wondering by giving them a call. By the way, leaving without having all of this resolved, along with a walk through after you moved, puts you into a bad situation if the house/apartment is found to be in poor condition. It is so much better in the long run to face up to (and pay) what you must.
Usually, it depends on the landlord though. That's how most people with bad credit get an apartment.
Once you move out. Not necessarily true; it depends on what your lease says. Once our renters have given notice or fallen behind on rent XX number of days, we are able to show the property to prospective renters.
Depends on the landlord and their credit requirements. Most likely, yes, but you may be required to put down additional money as a deposit.
can you get section 8 for an apartment you are all ready rent but can no longer pay for landlord wants information for section 8 for renters and how you can get it.
Find a landlord who will allow you to rent without regard to your credit score. This will likely be a mom and pop landlord and not an apartment rental service, but you will be able to get a place and work on your credit.
Apartments are typically leased or rented by the month. You may be able to buy an apartment building or complex of apartments however as a landlord.
Only if you are under the age of being able to sign a legally binding contract .
Read your lease thoroughly. Usually each state has a standard format. Almost all states provide for the landlord being able to enter your apartment. In every lease there should be a mention of how much notice the landlord must give the tenant prior to entering the apartment.
If you are stuck with a 12 month lease you will not be able to get out unless you can convince the Landlord to end your lease agreement early.

Additional info I have been living in this apartment for 1 year in November and there is no lease. The "apartment" does not seem like an apartment from the outside, it looks like a tool shed. If a guest who has never seen it were to walk up to it, they would have no idea it is an apartment. The landlord built it himself, originally so his son could smoke pot there. Oh yea, landlord is a retired cop. Anyways, the apartment has no windows and no fire extinguisher and no smoke detectors. The kitchen and bathroom are all in one room. The only thing that separates the toilet from kitchen is a curtain. I recently lost my job and will not be able to pay rent until I find another job. I have never been late or behind on rent. Can the landlord evict me?
If an apartment is reserved for you, because you paid a security deposit, that means that the landlord is not able to rent it to anyone else. Hence, when you then decide not to move in after all, the landlord has still lost the rent which he might have collected by renting that apartmnent to a different renter. So yes, he can withhold the deposit. It is not a good idea to make a deposit on an apartment that you are not actually going to move into.
Usually, it depends on the landlord though. That's how most people with bad credit get an apartment.
Good question. A person must be 18 to sign a contract in Texas, but emancipation may change that situation. Any realtor should be able to find the answer for you. There are plenty in Texas. You would probably stand a better chance of getting an apartment from a private landlord than an apartment complex. Check with the realtor.
