Any item that was present at the time of rental or lease signing, if damaged, is to be repaired to the best ability of the tenant, or if repair is not possible, then the landlord is entitled to collect damages. Before the lease was signed, there should have been a "walk through" with the landlord or their appointed agent, and this item should have been removed from the property before the tenant took possession.
In Michigan, a landlord can enter a rental property without permission in emergency situations or if the tenant has abandoned the property. Otherwise, the landlord must provide reasonable notice to the tenant before entering the rental unit for non-emergency reasons.
No, tenants generally cannot remove plants from a rental property without permission from the landlord.
A landlord can only go onto property unannounced to handle an emergency. In Pennsylvania, a landlord needs to give the tenant 24 hours notice to enter a property
Not without your permission.
Most laws state that you cannot change a lock without the landlord's permisson, and he will generally require a copy of the key, in this case, defeating the whole purpose. If you catch your landlord in your house without permission he is guilty of burglary just as anyone else would even if he had a key but not your permission to enter the unit or property.
Yes it is normal for a landlord to have a spare set of keys. However the landlord can not enter the property without the tenant's permission, or serving notice to the tenant of a requirement for access.
I can't see why not: as long as the tenant is not being displaced from the property as a result of the construction, unless proper notice is given accordingly, the landlord has every right to build and expand the property.
No, it is illegal for someone to enter your property without permission.
No, in order to enter the tenant's property for whatever reason, the landlord must give prior written notice; usually seven days.
No, they most certainly cannot. You would file in civil court to have your belongings returned and they would probably counterclaim for monies owed. In the end, the judge would sort this out and the landlord would have to return the properties he took without permission and would receive a judgment for the monies you owe for rent. But no, they cannot just take your personal belongings without permission for any reason.
You should revisit your lease to determine whether you can sublet without the landlord's permission. Most of the time, you have to speak to the landlord before moving someone in your apartment or home.
If there is no agreement between the landowner and the property manager that gives the property manager authority to sign in the name of the landowner, and no request for permission to do so, then the act of the property manager executing a lease agreement with a tenant might not be legal.
