Landlord-Tenant Issues

If your name is not on the piece of mail, it is not legal for you to open the mail. Forward it to the correct address, which costs you a minute to correct the address and replace it in the box.

There is no reason for it to expire. If you've been served an eviction notice, then you are to leave the property. They may come and remove your property and change the locks if you leave the place unattended.

Answer:

An eviction notice need to be served within 30 days and it will only be expired on the date that you already move out from the place.

You need to check the laws in your state because state laws vary on that issue. You should call your town hall to ask if there is a landlord-tenant agency in your town that you could call for advice.

Check your original rental agreement.

If it states the apartment must be in the original state (less wear and tear) then yes.

If you have used a colour that is unusual, a deep shade or basically anything but "apartment beige" then most likely yes.

If however you acquired the landlord's permission before painting, and there was no rider stating you had to return the walls to their original colour, then no.

If the colours you painted the walls fall under the "commonly used apartment" colours and they are in passably good shape, then no.

If your rental lease is up then you arent really evicting a tenant as much as you are notifying them that you will not be renewing the lease. You need to give at least 30 to 60 days notice to be fair to the tenant.

If the lease is now month-to-month or a periodic tenancy then it can be terminated for any reason, although I would still recommend 30 days notice to avoid any problems.

Either attempt to renegotiate the terms of your mortgage with your lender or file for bankruptcy.

If the damage was not done by you or someone you know and you file a police report then the landlords insurance should cover it. But he may not want to claim it. If he dont want his rates to go up. Or he may raise your rent. His insurance only covers the building. you mite want to get renters insurance to cover your personal property for damage or loss.

I suspect you mean is what you feel is an unfair property tax assessment that is now a lien against the property.

Generally, all areas work similarly, and the amount of either a real or personal property assessment is provided to you buy mail and public notice, and you have a certain period of time to protest to the assessing jurisdiction (tax assessor), or it becomes final and is used to determine the tax on the property, that the tax collector must collect, using all available means. that normally simply means sending a bill. The laws are written that you cannot protest the bill/assessment amount after that period. No one even has the authority to hear or act on the complaint.

However, you can protest it the nest year, when you receive the notice of assessed value. Its actually pretty simple in most places, with the first few steps being fairly informal. Meet with the assessor, explain why the assessment was wrong...pointing out things like he didn';t consider that your property is smaller than the others, your house doesn't have a basement and most of the others do, etc. But understand, you must show that your property is appraised unfairly in comparison to the others in the area...it has nothing to do with how much tax you pay or your ability to pay it. That you protest in elections and political campaigns and community involvement. And of course, if you mean some creditor has gotten the right to lien your property for a debt you haven't paid, or apparently responded to notices about them acting to enforce...well...better get a lawyer to prove the lien action is illegal...as it seems someone showed the court there is a debt (these liens just don't happen without someone proving a justification)...and you ain't paying it. Again, your failure to respond previously is an obstacle to overcome.

A homeowner can win an unlawful detainer case by proving their case to a judge. The chances of winning are greatly increased by seeking the aid of a local attorney.

Most states have a rule, under their landlord and tenant act, that if the rent is due, and a specific time has passed - in most states it's 15 days - and there is evidence that the property has been abandoned, such as the electricity being turned off, then the landlord may take possession of the property without going to court.

Yes. But, you used the word 'tenant'. If some kind of tenancy has been established, then the landlord cannot lock the tenant out. Signing a lease is not the only way to establish a tenancy. Simply accepting rent money makes the payer a tenant, if it is clearly in exchange for use of the premises.

So, if he is a tenant, no. If he is merely an 'occupant', or guest of the tenant, probably.

is he/she paying rent, do they have a lease or a verbal agreement, if not then yes, give them 30days notice to move, if they do have an agreement, then no, unless n on-payment of rent or any other reason that would damage your property,.

Absolutely. And more and more renters are doing just that. Mold is a proven health hazard, especially to young children, the elderly and those who have respiratory problems. You must also make sure that you have documentation of everything. Also, any problems pertaining to the mold must be in writing to provide backup, otherwise you may not have a legitimate suit. If you signed a mold addendum when you moved in, make sure you read your copy thouroughly for more info. Since mold is caused from some sort of water, your landlord must fix the problem, it is most likely a leak. (Again, this must be in writing) In Texas, I know for sure after you give them 3 letters in writing (certified mail is a good way to go), you can break your contract and then I would pursue legal action. Mold is type of fungus that is present in our natural environment. Mold spores, which ar tiny microscopic "seeds", can be found virtually everywhere, including in homes, and are a part of the general dust found in homes. These spores can grow on building materials and furnishings if conditions are correct. Excess moisture is the critical factor in any indoor mold problem. Mold growth should not be tolerated in our homes. Eventually, the moisture and mold will damage what it is growing on, which may include both the building and the renter's personal belongings. The key to preventing mold growth is to prevent moisture problems. Health effects from exposure to mold can vary greatly depending on the person, the amount of mold in their home. The type of symptoms that may occur include coughing, wheezing, nasal symptoms and throat symptoms. People with asthma or allergies who are sensitive to mold may notice their asthma or allergy symptoms worsen. Individuals with severely weakened immune system who are exposed to moldy environments are at risk of developing serious fungal respiratory infections. MDH recommends that people consult a medical professional if they are concerned about the effects of a moldy environment on their health.

Specific state laws should be consulted to find out exactly how long commercial property must be held in your state. Most states require less than a month.

How a landlord deals with your possessions vary from state to state in terms of law. In Florida, for example, your landlord can keep your possessions, while in South Carolina, your possessions must be moved to a curbside where you would have access to them to remove them. If the property remains there after three days then the landlord can arrange for them to be disposed of. And in some states the landlord has to place the items in storage, of which the tenant will be responsible for its fees.

Sometimes when living situations do not work, a person must be removed from a lease. Usually, a person only has to speak with the landlord, and the landlord will remove the person from the lease.

No. In the estoppel that your old landlord signs to the new landlord the security deposit is turned over to the new landlord, who keeps the deposit where it is now, or tells you where your deposit will be located.

Yes, but you have to give them a 30 day notice to terminate tenancy.

What you are creating is more of a "Gentleman's Agreement" than a contract. It is not legally binding but depending on the conditions, if both parties trust one another, it could work for a simple room agreement.

Most states require that you be of the age of majority (generally 18) unless there is a legal emancipation or something to that extent.
