Yes, the landlord falsely claimed that you didn't pay rent, even though you did.
To confirm if you paid your rent, check your bank statements or payment records for proof of payment. If you have evidence of payment, you can show it to your landlord to resolve the issue.
If your landlord is saying you didn't pay rent, you should gather proof of payment such as receipts or bank statements, and communicate with your landlord to resolve the issue calmly and professionally.
The risk of cosigning on a lease is that the cosigner is responsible for the rent for the leased property even if the other signers do not pay the rent. The landlord can go after one or all of the cosigners on a lease to get rent paid if the lease is not paid for the full term.
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.
Yes, it is possible to negotiate the rent after signing the lease, but it may depend on the landlord's willingness to make changes to the agreement. It is recommended to communicate openly and respectfully with the landlord to discuss any potential rent adjustments.
A landlord cannot legally harass you for rent if your rent is not in arrears.
To confirm if you paid your rent, check your bank statements or payment records for proof of payment. If you have evidence of payment, you can show it to your landlord to resolve the issue.
The landlord's bankruptcy has nothing to do with the tenant. The tenant still owes the rent.
Why not? Even family members can rent to one another.
Yes. Your income is unrelated to your rent.
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.
Concievably, yes. If the tenant got a deal on the apartment, and can find someone who is willing to pay even more than the rent, even just to be a roommate, there's nothing illegal about that.
Yes. This practice is called subleasing. If the landlord doesn't allow for subleasing then the tenant can be evicted.
If your friends landlord lowered the rent for him/her and then after moving in with him/her, he/she decides to move out, then the landlord will most likely raise the rent again.
Ah, the age old issue of "I didn't live there, you shouldn't get to keep rent." The issue with this logic is that it forgets that the landlord cannot re-rent the apartment during your tenancy. So even though you did not live there, you occupied the space contractually, thus preventing the landlord from opening it to others. So, yes. A landlord can keep your first and last months rent even if you did not reside in the property. As an example, imagine a rental car. You go out and purchase a rental car for 7 days, but for 7 days you never drove it. Would it be fair to say "I shouldn't have to pay you because I didn't drive it?"
Your landlord can evict you and sue for back rent.
