When the raid happened you should have reported it to the police and been given a crime number. The landlord's insurance should cover damage/loss to his property - your insurance should cover your losses. Unless you were negligent about ensuring the security of the property, for instance by leaving the windows or doors unlocked, he would not have a case to expect remuneration from your side, and he still needs to itemise what he is charging for, not just take the whole deposit. Expect a full explanation for any deductions or else take him to small claims court.
What else can I help you with?
If you live in a house and it is sold does the old landlord have to give you back your security deposit?
No. In the estoppel that your old landlord signs to the new landlord the security deposit is turned over to the new landlord, who keeps the deposit where it is now, or tells you where your deposit will be located.
What does a landlord owe a tenant?
that the Landlord will follow the law. if the tenant leaves the house in good condition, the landlord must refund the entire amount of security deposit.
If you rented property from the Realtor and now the owner of the property is not returning your security deposit who do you sue the Realtor of the owner of the house?
Look at the lease agreement. Whoever is listed as the landlord, that is who should return the security deposit.
What does first last and security deposit mean for a rental home?
First and last months security deposit is given so the landlord has a means of repairing any damage you might do to the house. It encourages the renter to take care of the property in order to get their deposit back.
Does landlord owe tenants deposit if house catches on fire?
Yes, unless the tenant caused the fire, and the landlord can prove it.
How do you get your security deposit back after moving out of an apartment?
If you signed the contract, then you must abide the terms. If it clearly states that you do not get your deposit back, then there is nothing you can do. You might be able to work out a deal with the landlord to clean your own house/apartment to his satisfaction and then get the money back - they make deals like that all the time.
Can you get your deposit back if your job relocates you and you have to break your lease and landlord finds someone to rent the house?
This depends on how your lease is written. You may (or may not) lose your deposit but if the landlord finds another renter you won't be responsible for the remaining months of rent you would have to pay until such renter is found.
Where you can complain about your landlord?
This depends on the type of complaint you're alleging. Start with a complaint to the landlord themselves, in many jurisdictions you're required to give prompt notice to defects in the apartment, especially ones that can cause further damage (no heat, gas, water, roof leakages, etc). If after a reasonable period of time (can be a matter of a day or two weeks depending on the issue and how quickly it can be fixed) the landlord does not correct the defects you can contact your local housing court to find out the procedures for a renters escrow. A renters escrow is a bank account you open with the courts and deposit in your rent monies. The landlord does not get the money from this account until he shows that the repairs have been made satisfactorily. Landlords will face a penalty for the courts having to take this action. If after a period prescribed by your local housing court the landlord does not correct the defects, the court can order the house to be inspected by local code enforcement and subsequently condemned if necessary. In the mean time, the court will grant you permission to quit your lease and seek new shelter. At this point you should follow all standard move out protocols. Send your former landlord a certified (green slip) letter with a forwarding address and demand full return of your security deposit for breach of lease. If your landlord fails to claim the monies with the court after a time prescribed by that court, you may return and collect the monies. In addition, If the landlord fails to return your security deposit, in some jurisdictions you may be allowed double damages. (i.e. $500 deposit not returned may be $1000 after court). If the complaint against the landlord is in regards to a breach of lease, you can reversely evict your landlord. Which means you provide them with 30 days notice to quit the lease due to their breach, demand your security deposit back, and leave before the start of the new month. If the landlord keeps the deposit (as many will try), you may take them to small claims court and seek your security deposit back (in some states you can get double or treble!).
Does your house have to be paid for before you can put it under section 8?
Good question: a landlord has the right to use the same tenant selection criteria as he would for anyone who is not on section 8. Consequently, the landlord may charge a security deposit if he accepts you. In the case of public housing, they may also charge a deposit but quite often times that doesn't happen.
What happened to waka flocka flame at his house?
His house was raided by police.
If you have a lease on a house but your mother is sick in another state and you need to move back to take care of her can you break the lease and get your deposit back?
No. You mother's illness is not your landlord's fault.
If I am looking for a house for rent, what are some things I should be aware of in the lease agreement?
First, you should be very aware of the laws about real estate rentals in your state; they vary a lot from state to state. Things to pay attention to typically include: who is responsible for repairs, what recourse the landlord and the tenant have in case of a disagreement, the procedure for eviction, and under what circumstance the landlord has the right to keep all or a portion of the security deposit.
