It depends on what state the property is located in. I am a real estate professional in Nevada, and according to our state laws, a landlord must store left behind property for 30 days. If it in not claimed by the 30 day period, the landlord is free to do what he wants with it. Additionally, the landord cannot retain the renter's property against the renter's will. As your former landlord, I might file a lien on your property if it's left in the unit and you owe me back rent, or something of that nature. But if you abandoned your crap, I'm going to bill you, by the hour, for moving it, as well as any rental money I couldn't earn because you left your crap in the unit. Then, if I have to sue you to collect, these amounts (and any back rent) become actual damages. Add court costs, punitive damages and reasonable attorney fees to that judgment, where allowed by statute. And by the way, 30 days passed, so I sold your belongings to a crap dealer ;-) I hope I didn't arbitrarily lock you out of your home (without going through proper eviction proceedings) and hold your belongings for ransom, because I think that would cast a different light on tings.

How to ask for prorated rent when moving in or out of a rental property?

What notice do renters need to give before moving out?

Can the landlord hold property due to balance of rent due?

Generally, no. The possession of someone else's property for a debt is a "pledge" or "security agreement" that goes well beyond the mere obligation to pay rent. In other words, the tenant must AGREE to allow the landlord to have a security interest in the tenant's property. However, if the landlord has accrued moving and storage fees for the tenant's property, the landlord often has an automatic "lien" on the property for payment of those expenses, but not the overdue rent. When the landlord perfects the lien, holds a public auction and sells the tenant's property, the landlord can usually only keep the amount of profit (if any) that covers the expenses, unless there is also a court order that the tenant owes other rent, penalties, fees, interest, costs, etc.

Can a renter sue in small claims court for constructive eviction?

You can only sue in small claims court for damages. Landlord and tenant cases are only opened by landlords, not the tenant. If, under constructive eviction clause, you exercise your right to move out of that property and the landlord keeps your security deposit and any other payments you made before moving into the property - except for the first months rent unless that's when you're moving out, then you have the right to sue the landlord to reclaim that money.


When a tenant makes a permanent improvement to a rented residential property should the tenant leave it when moving?

Yes. Since the tenant affixed the improvement to the property, it becomes a fixture, which belongs to the landlord. An exception to this is if there was an agreement between the landlord and tenant, or if the landlord gives permission for the improvement to be removed. Standard picture hooks, and other like objects, do not constitute fixtures, and may be removed if they belong to the tenant.
