Can a Landlord hold a rental check for 2 months and cause the rental a overdraft?

This is a two part question: The first part - the landlord can hold a check for 6 months. The second part - the landlord does not cause the tenant's account to overdraft. The tenant does. Checks may only be written from available funds. If the account holder does not account for the checks out, the account holder is liable.

If a tenant put up showers in there place and there having trouble with them now who is responsible to fix it?

The tenant is responsible for what ever they put up in the unit, first they need to ask the landlord if they have permission, it is a much better idea that the landlord should make all the necessary changes, that way the tenant does not have the responsibility nor the costs. If the landlord declines and the tenant goes ahead anyway, the tenant can leave themselves wide open to be sued for damages if anything goes wrong.


Can a landlord sue for future rent in Maryland?

In most states, if a lease term is for a fixed amount of time, such as a year, and the tenant breaks lease by moving out early, the landlord can sue for the amount of time it took for the landlord to get a new tenant or for lease to expire, whichever comes first. It is for a month-to-month tenancy, then the landlord has no grounds for suing for future rents.


Is it legal for a landlord to withhold a key from his tenants until everyone has paid the first months payment?

Generally speaking, a tenant does not become such until he has been handed the keys to his dwelling. If the landlord has not received his first month's payment, this is the same as in not receiving the rent, which is payable in advance. Therefore the landlord does have the right to withhold the key.

Can a commercial landlord keep tenants office contents for delinquent rent?

Generally, no. The landlord would have to first acquire a legal interest in the office contents, either by a signed security agreement with the tenant or by filing a lien and following up with a court order of liquidation. Of course, a tenant can certainly offer to give the landlord a commercial security interest in the office contents, or the tenant's inventory or equipment, if the tenant chooses.


Can a landlord evict the same tenant twice in six months?

The question is unclear. If the tenant was successfully evicted, there would be no second opportunity. Perhaps you mean the landlord started eviction, abandoned it and then started again in six months. That is fine, he can do that. There could be exceptions, of course. Imagine the landlord tried to evict because the person voted for the wrong guy. The court said you can't do that. Then the landlord can't evict for some other made-up reason because the first try didn't work. It must also be remembered that state and local laws may differ. And, different laws apply in other countries.


What can a tenant do if the landlord refuses accept the offset of the cost of the repair?

I live in an illegal basement in New York and I have not paid rent for a few months can the landlord stop me from entering my apartment?

This is a complex situation. First, the unit being illegal for residency is the responsibility of the landlord or property owner. However, having rented it out, he is still the landlord, and must follow local and state laws regarding eviction. Blocking access is not a legal option. The tenant having rented the property has the legal right to be there until that right has been quitted by the courts. Second, if the landlord has blocked access to the property for the tenant, the tenant's rights are being denied, and the landlord could be committing a crime. It may not be exclusively a civil matter. If however the tenant involves law enforcement to regain access to the property, the New York Housing Authority is likely to become involved, and the tenant may find himself evicted regardless.
