The laws of every state differ with this issue: in some states, for example, the landlord can keep all property left behind. In others, the landlord must move everything to the street side on the property for the tenant to pick up. Yet in others, the landlord must store the property for at least thirty days to give the tenant a chance to pick up their property. Any expenses paid by the landlord must be repaid by the evicted tenant to get their property back.

Can a landlord lock out a sub-lesser out of their apartment?

If you sub-lease a unit, then the tenant that leases to you is considered your Landlord. Their landlord is NOT the sub-lessee's landlord. The master landlord, who usually does not allow subleasing, is not bound by the Landlord/Tenant Act toward the sub-lessee. So if they kick out your sub-landlord, they are kicking out EVERYONE. The master landlord cannot lock out his tenant unless they legally evict that tenant. Since a sub-lessee doesn't have the same rights, then they too are locked out.


Can a landlord kick you out even if you rent out a bedroom?

Yes. This practice is called subleasing. If the landlord doesn't allow for subleasing then the tenant can be evicted.


What are the Iowa roommate laws regarding lease agreements and tenant rights?

Iowa roommate laws allow tenants to have separate lease agreements with the landlord. Each tenant has the right to privacy and to not be evicted without proper notice. It is important for roommates to communicate and understand their individual rights and responsibilities.


How can you ask non tenant to move out?

If the person has the legal right to live there on a month-to-month basis, he is a tenant. But we are presuming that you, the landlord, didn't rent the unit out to this person: perhaps your tenant did, known as subleasing. If you, the landlord, allowed this, then you have to have your tenant evict the sub-tenant. If you didn't allow this, then you have to enforce the terms of the lease, and make your tenant correct this problem immediately or you can evict him, which automatically forces the sub-tenant out.


What kind of dogs should a landlord accept by a tenant?

If I were a landlord I would go by apartment or home size, and not allow any dogs that exceed that size in pounds. I would also not allow any aggressive breeds.


Can a landlord evict a tenant because the tenant got arrested?

Possibly, if the reason for the arrest was related to the residence, like if they robbed the liquor store next door. Most states allow a landlord to evict a tenant with very short notice if drugs were found in the unit, especially if this is subsidized housing.


Can a section 8 landlord rent rooms to a section 8 tenant and a non section 8 tenant in the same house?

Section 8 usually does not allow renting out of rooms within the same house.


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.


Is it a lease if the new landlord has no knowledge of the existing tenant?

A Lease is between the owners of a property and the tenant. Some leases allow for a sub lease which is an agreement between the tenant and another person that wishes to temporarily use the same place. Most leases do not allow subleasing. Some cases, as with section housing, it is illegal to sublease.


How may a person with impairment alter accommodation to meet the person's special needs in a leased property?

As long as the requests are reasonable they must be fulfilled by the Landlord, or the landlord must allow the tenant to modify his dwelling for that purpose.


Are you responsible for your sublet if your lease ended and they stayed?

This all depends on the terms of your lease. Most apartment complexes do not allow a tenant to sublet. So if the main tenant terminates the tendency, this termination will include everyone. The main tenant is the one who will be responsible to give the landlord back into the apartment.


Can a renter turn off power before legal process of eviction has began there is verbal agreement on terms of rent?

Can a Landlord turn off power before evicting a tenant? Absolutely NOT!! And any verbal agreement cannot contain unconscionable statements such as that the tenant would agree to allow Landlord to turn off utilities for non-payment of rent, even if the utilities are in the Landlord's name and you pay separately for that. If you're asking if a Renter can turn off his power, sure! At any time if the power is in the Renter's name (the Renter means the Tenant, not the Landlord).
