Possession of premises must be handed back to the landlord in order to dispose abandoned personal property. This can be done either through a written notice from the tenant stating voluntary surrender or through filing an eviction action.
You can do it, but you have to notify the tenant of all problems. One good option is to rent the place to someone who is willing to do some repairs to it in exchange for $$ off the rent. I rented a pretty shabby place a few years back and did repairs to the apartment, and the landlord gave me the cost of all materials off the rent. Great way to fix it up and still rent it out.
Generally speaking, no. Your landlord may charge you whatever amount of rent he wants. If you are in good faith paying your rent on time, it is presumed that is your rent amount. Your landlord cannot turn around and ask you for more money simply because he thinks he's made a mistake in what he's been charging you. If he says you owe him back money you can refuse to pay but your landlord will likely evict you. However, you can fight the eviction proceedings. If what you're saying is true the judge will find in favor of you and will dismiss the case.
The overcharge is fraud, and a federal crime. You should notify the housing authority that issued the voucher, and sue the landlord for the overpayment, or just refuse to pay rent until you are square.
It is possible to put a pinhole camera anywhere in the wall or ceiling, and the only way to find it would be to tear all the drywall out. If you don't find it after doing that, then most likely your parents have surgically embedded a device in your skull that is tracking your thoughts at this very second. Every time your ear itches, that is the device uploading its data to your parents' secret bedroom computer.
No.
Let's clarify what is personal property: any property that you own that is not real estate property, such as your personal belongings, car, pets, etc.; now, in the Landlord/Tenant court, your landlord may keep or put out your personal property to the curb once he evicts you from the unit, depending on the state you live in, and whether you owe him back rent.
Its personal property its nothing the law can do you can take him to small claim court to get your stuff back. No you can't file theft charges against him
If you fall on a landlord's property and sustain an injury, you may be able to pursue a premises liability claim against the landlord. To succeed, you would generally need to show that the landlord was negligent in maintaining the property or failed to warn of any potential hazards. Consult with a personal injury attorney to discuss the specifics of your case.
A new landlord has to have received the security deposit from the old landlord during the process of the closure of the sale of the property. The new landlord is responsible for that security deposit.

You do what you would do when any theft occurs; you file a police report and have him charged with theft. Now because he is still your landlord, you might approach him and ask if you can have your property back before you involve law enforcement. Either way, you might want to consider finding a new residence.
The laws of every state differ with this issue: in some states, for example, the landlord can keep all property left behind. In others, the landlord must move everything to the street side on the property for the tenant to pick up. Yet in others, the landlord must store the property for at least thirty days to give the tenant a chance to pick up their property. Any expenses paid by the landlord must be repaid by the evicted tenant to get their property back.

The taking of possession of property means basically having total control over it. If the property is a rental property and the landlord hands you the keys, then you are in legal possession of the property, something that the landlord cannot take back unless he legally evicts you.
