It is legal but not good business practice. She is probably going to prove herself not to be the best of landlords, so you might consider moving before she creates unnecessary problems in your life.
Your landloard can keep your Security Deposit, not advanced rent (such as last month's rent), for non-payment of rent or damages. An eviction alone doesn't automatically allow a landlord to keep all of your deposit. Now let's clarify what an eviction is: it's a court proceeding to remove you from your home. A landlord asking you to leave after a specific perios of time is not an eviction.
Depends on the reason for the eviction, and whether you gave a last month's rent deposit.
State's establish laws that pertain to rental/lease agreements and landlord/renter issues. Contacting your state housing authority should help you obtain the information you need.
You need to speak to an attorney. There's a lot more information needed about your situation than what anyone here is going to be able to accurately conclude anything from.
This would be an illegal eviction. The landlord is required to give you notice of lease termination (be it for breach for just they don't wish to renew). If you're renting month to month, they must give you a full months notice.You can try a bit of legal puffery with the landlord and inform him that his way of doing this is illegal and you will seek a claim for the full security deposit back and illegal eviction damages.If your rent and lease began on the 15th of the month, the landlord would need to give you notice by the 14th in order for the tenant to be expected to vacate by the 15th of the next month. Lets assume for example sake, that the month is March and it's the 14th. The landlord gave you notice to vacate on or before April 15th, 2015.You are still obligated to pay the rent for March & April (Feb 15th - March 15th, March 15th - April 15th). As long as you move out ON or BEFORE April 15th & return the keys to the landlord, you're no longer obligated to pay rent to the landlord.
yes
if you have a lease you will leave when the lease is finished, if you are on a month to month agreement , the landlord must give you a written notice for you to move within 2 months, if the landlord wants you evicted, they can only do that through a court order with a bailiff present, if you have not paid your rent or are in arrears the landlord has every right to remove you from the premises, this being said, they will still need an eviction notice, also your credit will be toast.,
If a person does not pay the previous months rent, they can most likely be evicted. The landlord can ask the tenant to leave on their own or start the eviction process.
The first month's rent pays for your first month in the apartment. You will owe the agreed-upon rent to the landlord the second month. I can't see why anything would be prorated--your security deposit cannot be used for rent.
We have three different issues here: an illegal eviction, which appears to have been resolved; an allegation that the illegal eviction has resulted in great bodily harm and disability by the landlord; and that now the tenant needs more time (for what? I presume to find another dwelling). It appears that the illegal eviction has been resolved, or the tenant would not be living on the property now and need more time. So this issue is cleared. Next, the tenant claims that during the illegal eviction the landlord has caused great bodily harm and disability to the tenant. This is an issue that needs to go to civil court for remedy. Now, the tenant states he needs more time - I presume time to find another place, now that a legal eviction process has begun. If the eviction process has begun due to lack of payment, there is no time that the court will give you to remedy this situation: you must follow the court's procedures in answering this eviction. In Florida, this means that the tenant will have to pay to the clerk of your court the amount of money the landlord claims the tenant owes them, in order to secure a court date. If the pending process result in a new month, the tenant will have to continue to pay the clerk's office the money that the tenant would've had to pay the landlord. If landlord wins the eviction, they will receive that money minus 14%.
Generally, the rentee has the right to be notified of eviction before being removed from the property. However, under certain, limited circumstances, usually involving person-felonies, the rentee can be removed immediately.
That would seem reasonable. So would asking the landlord.
