A landlord generally cannot force a tenant to have their property rewired unless the wiring poses a safety hazard or violates local building codes. Typically, the responsibility for major repairs, including rewiring, falls on the landlord. However, if the tenant requests specific improvements or modifications, the landlord may agree to them, but it should be a mutual decision. It's essential for both parties to refer to the lease agreement and local laws for clarification on responsibilities.

How long does it take for a landlord to evict a tenant in Florida?
PRETTY quick, especially if it's for non-payment of rent! First a landlord must serve the tenant a three-day notice. Time: 3 days Then the landlord must file the paperwork with the Clerk's Office: < 1 day Sheriff's deputy serves the eviction summons: This takes one day or two You have then FIVE days to answer the Summons, and the answer must accompany a money order or cash in the amount of the rent, in person at the Clerk's Office. If you don't have the money, the Judge doesn't want to hear from you. He can rule a Judgment for the Landlord by default. Time: about three days Then the Landlord must obtain a write of possession. Time: about 1 or 2 days Then the Landlord must turn the paperwork to the Sheriff's Office and pay them $80 to hire a deputy to force the tenant out (execute the writ of possession). Time: about two days. Total turnaround time: about 20 days by default, longer if you did pay the money to the Clerk and went before a Judge, who may order you to pay another month's rent if it's then due by the time of the final hearing.

Can a landlord turn off the water of a mobile home tenant in Texas for non payment of rent who is handicapped?
Well if a landlord can't turn off the water he must also be handicapped. There are no winners in this situation! Answer#2: I'm no lawyer and I know California law better than Texas law but here's my thinking. There is a broad principle in landlord-tenant law that says the landlord cannot take eviction steps (like this) without approval from the courts. So the tenant could probably go to court and force the landlord to go through all the pain of the eviction process. Or they could pay the rent or leave. The first answerer was right, there can be no winner at this point. No tenant has the right to stay when they cannot pay and the landlord must follow the law.
Can a landlord kick you out with only 24hours notice in fl?
Under the landlord/tenant act in Florida and in most states, the landlord may not kick you out with only 24 hour notice.

The exception to this rule is if the dwelling is uninhabitable.
