Landlord-Tenant Issues

Concievably, yes. If the tenant got a deal on the apartment, and can find someone who is willing to pay even more than the rent, even just to be a roommate, there's nothing illegal about that.

If some agency is going after the tenant, then yes.

If they are going after the landlord, then they shouldn't be able to, but, they may not know that it's the tenant's money. Most states require that the landlord put the deposit in an account that makes it clear that this is the tenant's money. However, failure to do so is probably the most common mistake in landlord/tenant law. It could be that the tenant could contact the agency, and convince them that they have seized an account that they should not have.

Laws regarding changing locks without informing your roommate can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the terms of your lease agreement. In some cases, it may be considered illegal or a breach of contract, especially if your roommate has equal rights to the property. It is advisable to review your lease agreement and consult local laws or legal counsel for accurate advice specific to your situation.

Yes, in most cases, a landlord can raise the rent even without a current contract. However, the specific rules and regulations may vary depending on local rental laws. In some jurisdictions, the landlord may need to provide notice to the tenant before increasing the rent.

I assume you are talking about a public housing project, which is typically owned by the Public Housing Authority (PHA). Yes, they can evict a tenant because of guest illegal activities, but they don't have to, especially if you make an agreement with them -- and abide by such -- that you won't have this person on the premises again.

The eviction process can occur in up to three days after the due date of the rent. However, the landlord must properly post a notice of at least three days before they can file an eviction suit.

You may be able to keep the tenant's deposit if they have violated the terms of the lease agreement or caused damage beyond normal wear and tear. However, you must follow the legal process for deducting from the deposit and provide an itemized list of damages or unpaid rent. It is essential to check the rights and obligations outlined in your local landlord-tenant laws before making a decision.

If the repairs are essential but the landlord refuses to accept the offset, then the landlord can file eviction proceedings against the tenant. However, this is something that tenant can challenge in court. If it can be proven that the repairs are essential, the tenant will not only win the case, he can counter sue for damages of up to three months of rent abatement.

Yes, the lease typically remains valid even if the rental property is sold. The new owner usually assumes the existing lease and becomes the new landlord, with the same terms and conditions that were agreed upon in the original lease. However, it is important to review the lease agreement and consult with legal professionals to understand the specific rights and obligations in such cases.

You can find examples of lease agreements on many websites which you can print out. Some examples include but are not limited to: www.beyondtherate.com/pdfs/6_Lease_Agreement.pdf and www.ezlandlordforms.com/documents/lease_agreements/

In general, it is not against the law to ask to see the inside of someone's house. However, the person who owns or occupies the house has the right to refuse the request, and entering someone's property without their permission could be trespassing, which is illegal. It is important to respect people's privacy and property rights.

In Michigan, the statute of limitations for a landlord to sue a tenant for damage to rental property is typically six years from the date the damage occurred. However, it's important to consult a legal professional or refer to the specific details in your lease agreement for an accurate assessment in your particular situation.

It depends on where the rental unit is located as laws can differ. In the state of Ohio, you are required to present a five day notice, and if they ignore that, then you have to go to court and legally evict them. Until the court evicts them, they continue to be legal tenant of the property even though they haven't paid rent. Depending on where you are, evictions can take anywhere from 30 days to three months. Mostly, the tenants have all the rights, even if they are doing you wrong. Now, interestingly enough, I have an "abandonment" clause written in my lease. I never really paid attention to it. But last month after non-payment of rent, I delivered a five day notice to a bad payer and he moved out and just left everything. I was thinking I was going to have to go thru the eviction process, then remembered the abandonment clause. I waited fifteen days then went in and started clearing things out. Of course, the garbage had rotted and the place was unspeakably horrible, but at least I didn't have to wait 90 days to get in legally. But that will only work if your person has moved out and you have that clause in your lease. This is all anecdotal. You need to check out your local laws. Also, there is usually a tenant-landlord ombudsman who can help advise you---check with your local county. Good luck. 99% of tenants are great---it's that 1% that kills you!

The person you are referring to is called a tenant farmer.

The ownership of a lease typically lies with the person or entity that holds the lease agreement, also known as the lessee. The lessee is granted the right to possess and use the property for a specific period of time as defined in the lease agreement. The owner of the property, known as the lessor, retains legal ownership but grants certain rights to the lessee for the duration of the lease.

I don't know what you mean by an "illegal person." If you mean an illegal immigrant, housing law has nothing to do with immigration status. If you simply mean that you never entered into a contract with this person, you should go to a local court, and ask for an injunctive order that this person is not your tenant, and must leave.

A houseguest becomes a tenant when they have occupied the premises for an extended period of time and begin paying rent. The specific timeframe can vary depending on local laws, but generally, if a guest stays for more than 30 days and is paying rent, they may be considered a tenant. It is advisable to consult local tenant laws for a more precise definition.

Yes, a landlord can redecorate and fix the house for selling while the current tenants are still renting and living there, as long as it does not disrupt the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment and does not violate any terms specified in the lease agreement. The landlord should communicate with the tenants in advance about any planned renovations or repairs and try to schedule them at a convenient time for the tenants.

Yes, in many cases, a landlord can use a tenant's security deposit to cover unpaid rent or damages to the rental property. However, this can vary depending on local laws and the terms of the lease agreement. It is important to carefully review the lease and understand the landlord-tenant laws in your area to know your rights and responsibilities regarding the security deposit.

The maximum rent in advance that a landlord can charge depends on the jurisdiction, as different laws apply in different countries or regions. Similarly, the maximum bond (security deposit) that a landlord can charge varies based on local laws and regulations. It is advisable to consult the specific regulations of your jurisdiction or seek legal advice to determine the exact limits.
