What is the statute of limitation on filing a small claims against a landlord who will not return a deposit in ogden utah?
In Ogden, Utah, the statute of limitations for filing a small claims case against a landlord for the return of a security deposit is generally four years. This period begins from the date the landlord was supposed to return the deposit. It's advisable to file the claim as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected. Always consider consulting with a legal professional for specific guidance related to your situation.
How long can the landlord hold the security deposit after the tenant moved in the state of Florida?
In the state of Florida, the Landlord must either refund your deposit with in 15 days from vacancy or send to you a reason why they won't. You then have 90 days to bring a claim against them if you refute their statement, and the same for you to act on no notice. (if they didn't contact you with the refund or letter during the prescribed 15 days.) You can pursue the refund for a period of 6 months on or after the 16th day. This could also be extended by the jurisdiction if you are a service member for up to one year with proof of PCS.
Can you get your deposit back if you only signed an application not a lease?
Yes, although the landlord might claim that taking the money created a contract, and therefore argue that they can use it for the first month's rent.
Can a landlord demand carpets to be cleanded 6 months in to the lease. I pd. a 600 Security deposit and they said would evict if the carpets are not cleaned?
If there is a provision on the lease which requires that your carpet be cleaned six months prior to the expiration of the lease, then the landlord has the right to enforce those provisions. Additionally, if the carpet is damaged or dirty because of obvious abuse by the tenant and not the cause of normal wear and tear on the carpet, the landlord has the right to demand that the carpet be cleaned. However, if the carpet was not brand-new, then whatever dirt or damage occurred to it is measured according to wear and tear by the age of the carpet. Carpeting of five years of age or older is usually deemed to have reached its maximum age, for which the landlord has no claim. Finally, the landlord may not keep your entire security deposit simply because you didn't clean the carpet: he can only deduct the cost of cleaning the carpet from the security deposit. I doubt that your landlord can evict you simply because your carpet is dirty. If you have only been in your apartment for six months and your landlord evicts you because the carpet is dirty, then I would take pictures and present them to court to fight your landlord.
What if your landlord doesn't return security deposit within 30 days?
Per the Ohio revised code: the landlord has 30 days to make a claim for damages, if he does not than he must return the deposit within that 30 days and if he refuses hire an attorney because the landlord is responsible to pay his attorney and yours plus double the deposit $750 becomes $1,500.

Can a person claim medical bills for personal injury in a public place as my elderly father tripped and fell over a vacuum cleaner in a bank after turning around to get a deposit slip?
What you describe is a very typical "slip and fall" case. Yes, medical bills resulting from the fall are part of the claim for damages, but there are more elements to his damage claim beyond medical bills. Contact an attorney in your area. They will handle your father's case on a contingency fee basis and maximize the value of the claim for your dad.
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!).
Can I claim a loss for a cashed foreign certificate of deposit because of exchange rate?
Who do you intend to claim from?
I have a rental property in Florida that's professionally managed. The tenants are disputing some of the charges the company deducted from their security deposit. What can be deducted from a deposit?
The basic rule in Florida is this: a landlord must return to their tenants their security deposits or provide receipts of repairs that were made as a result of damage by the tenants that were made BEYOND the normal wear-and-tear of the unit. Certain parts of the apartment/home, , such as the carpets, are subject to determination of wear and tear by percentage that depreciate according to the number of years the Tenant has lived in the unit. Total normal wear and tear on a carpet, for example, is five years, so the determination is made at a rate of 1/5 per year for the carpeting and normal holes on the walls by fine nails. Security deposits must be returned, plus receipts for repairs for non-wear and tear damage, within 30 days or the landlord loses all claim for damages.
Can a landlord and his insurance claim money from you for a kitchen fire?
Your "Renter's Insurance" should be the one paying the claim. It is your responsibility as a tenant to report any property damage to the landlord, and at the same time it should have been reported to your insurance carrier. If, per chance, one does not have renters insurance (which escapes all understanding why one wouldn't have this) then the tenant is responsible for all damages above what is considered normal wear and tear.
