Landlord-Tenant Issues

This depends on the terms of your lease. Normally breaking a lease for any reason is grounds for the landlord to keep your deposit. If there are valid grounds for breaking the lease and the landlord keeps your deposit you can sue him for the amount he kept.

Yes he can, unless you have proof that you were renting on a month to month basis.

otherwise if you moved in together and had been living there for several moths the judge will decide that you were meant to stay till the end of the lease. , regardless of whether your name was on it or not.

The 'duties' vary from state to state. You may want to search 'landlord tenant law in (state).' This will have a very specific outline...covering many topics. If you are under a lease, also make sure to read that carefully, as sometimes there are clauses in there that are not covered by the states mandates.

Some landlords require all three, some don't. It's up to the parties to agree on the terms, but the landlord set his terms, and the tenant can take the place or leave it.

Perhaps, that issue would be decided by the wording of the rental or leasing contract. In most states landlords reserve the right to bar individuals from property, in some instances "just cause" is needed. Such reasoning would be determined by the court, but generally the law presumes the renter or leasee has the option to move or visit the person at some other location.

Hello, guys. Eviction is the removal of a tenant from rental property by the landlord. The term eviction is the most commonly used communications between the landlord and tenant. Some days before one of my friend faced some problem in Las Vegas by landlords and by the help of Rocket Eviction, his problem solved. They provide quick, efficient Nevada eviction services for apartment complex owners, high-rise condominium owners and other multi-family rentals in Clark County, Nevada.

We live in an apartment and the owners raise (or try to raise) our rent anywhere from $35 - $65 a month every year. We live in PA. I've found that you can negotiate with the landlord. I've asked if they only raise it *** (always lower then they wanted) we'll sign a two year lease. I've never had them turn us down.

Yes you can if the threats from other tenants are legitimate (they've actually personally threatened you in any way) and the landlady or landlord is doing nothing about it because it's up to them to keep peace in the complex. If the resist you leaving this complex then tell them you will be speaking to your lawyer. Landlords prefer to keep things quiet (many complexes are owned by companies) and they really don't want any legal problems. Be sure you get your damage deposit back as well. Good luck Marcy

Tenants often think this would be a good idea. What if you leave the place a mess or don't move once the deposit is consumed? As your landlord I would begin eviction as soon as you didn't pay your rent.

The new owner must abide by whatever agreement is in force. If there is a lease he cannot change any of the terms except by mutual agreement. If you are month-to-month he can only do this after giving you a proper written notice and anywhere from 30-90 days warning in advance, this allows you to either pay the new rental agreement, or look for another place to live. If this was not done, i'd recommend talking to a lawyer.

The answer below is pretty much correct. It is important to understand that there is rent and security. The deposit is to cover losses and protect the landowner against you if you have bad credit or if you demolish the apartment. The owner must deposit this in a separate security account that carries interest payments on your money.

Only if it is included in the wording of the lease that was signed. If there is no clause requiring last month's rent. Then the request by the landlord is unenforceable.

Better if you are going to review your contract because that is the only way to know if the things that your landlord's doing are legal. There are times that they are allowed to ask for last months deposit because they need to be assured that even though you will be evicted or move out without ending the lease and you choose not to pay your last monthly rental fee at least they have your last month deposit.

I personally do not know but have a sisiter in Florida that owns a real estate company. E-mailed her just now, will find out Federal law as well as Florida law prohibits discrimination based on race or country origin. However, the law also REQUIRES that US citizens report illegal aliens to the authorities.There is no law prohibiting renting to an illegal, there IS a law stating that you have to report renting to an illegal alien. Hope this helps.

As you know a signed lease is a contract between you and the landlord and unless you are lucky enough to have an understanding landlord and you have a very, very good reason to break this contract then you are responsible for the agreement in that contract. Usually people have to pay the first and last months rent and possibly a damage deposit and you may lose that. You have tied up the landlord from renting to someone else, so it would be to your best interest to offer to let him/her keep the first months rent. Talk to the new landlord and hopefully your reasons for not moving in are valid and you just haven't found a better place to move too. You may just get lucky.

Normally the bankruptcy filing has nothing to do with whether or not the tenant has paid his rent. A landlord does not have the right to evict a tenant simply because the tenant filed chapter 7 unless that is part of the lease. The terms of the lease determine if the tenant will be evicted. If the tenant pays the rent, he should not be evicted.

Some agreements are set up that way. After our lease was up, we were month to month without signing another lease.

That all depends on the landlord, and the local laws. Sometimes some utilities are included in the rent, sometimes they are not. For example, some places have laws that require landlords to provide water.

I believe so, but under certain cercumstances,.. have you been upright in your current bills?

Most states require a 3 day notification. * The amount of time to vacate the premises should be stated in the eviction notice. If it is a state where "self-help" eviction is allowed, the landlord must give the tenant 30 days to vacate from the date the tenant is notified in writing of the eviction. Unless there is a court order that states otherwise, the landlord cannot remove the belongings from the premises nor refuse the tenant entry to recover an items unless the 30 day notice has expired. This is not to say that all landlords follow the "letter of the law". It is the involved party's responsibility to see that their legal rights are upheld.

After two years, you could maybe expect a couple of gouges in the walls, maybe some marks on them, minor carpet stains, and possibly some loose hinges (especially if there are four or more young people there).

Make sure you take pictures and do a walkthrough both before moving in and moving out.

Generally speaking, as long as the landlord has legal control over the property, the rent is still due him and he may continue collecting it. However, most Housing Authorities prohibit landlords from becoming in default of their mortgage. Generally speaking, if the Housing Authority tells you to continue to pay your rent, you must do so or risk eviction- And possibly the loss of your voucher.

It is possible to put a pinhole camera anywhere in the wall or ceiling, and the only way to find it would be to tear all the drywall out. If you don't find it after doing that, then most likely your parents have surgically embedded a device in your skull that is tracking your thoughts at this very second. Every time your ear itches, that is the device uploading its data to your parents' secret bedroom computer.

I believe you can break the lease. It is easy to find a sympathetic doctor and even easier to find a sympathetic judge. In this case you will have to take your landlord to court and sue him to break the lease. This is a quality of life issue. Your landlord can argue that he/she cannot do anything about the smoking. You argue that the smoking is affecting the quality of your life and health and have a written medical opinion to that effect. The judge will likely rule that yes, the landlord cannot control the habits of his/her tenants; and yes, if your health and/or quality of life is in question then the landlord can find another tenant. Lease terminated. People often make the assertion that breaking a lease is the hardest thing in the world. It isn't. And yes, it is a contract between you and your landlord and you should try to work out a reasonable alternative with your landlord before going to court. But remember that a contract is not a one way street. You have obligations to your landlord and your landlord, by contract of the lease, has obligations to you. Court should be the course of last resort. When breaking a lease, it is often necessary to nullify it legally, for the sake of your peace of mind and monetary liability.

They could, depending on the type of misdemeanor. Examples of such misdemeanor include domestic violence, drug or alcohol offenses, and sometimes even minor sex offenses, such as indecent exposure.
