Landlord-Tenant Issues

The taking of possession of property means basically having total control over it. If the property is a rental property and the landlord hands you the keys, then you are in legal possession of the property, something that the landlord cannot take back unless he legally evicts you.

The statute of limitations depends on your state's laws. The chart linked below should be helpful to guide you to your state's statute of limitations law.

Yes, I believe so.

The security deposit is limited to 2 month's rent which is pretty much what you are asking about.

If it doesn't say in the lease, then they don't have to give any notice.

An astute board will step into the revenue stream that the tenant pays to the owner. This is a legal matter and is done with association counsel.

This should have no effect on the tenant, except that the rent check is paid to the association's attorney and not to the owner.

No it doesn't.

A tenant has until:

1. The time frame listed on the eviction notice that one must move or face eviction proceedings; or

2. at the eviction hearing, the time the judge will order the defendant to move out by or face removal by the sheriff's department or constable.

Remember: an eviction is not the process of being kicked out of your home (this is actually called a termination of tenancy/lease), but rather, a court hearing the landlord initiates to get you forced to move out.

Anyone can sue. Your question doesn't provide enough information for anyone to answer.

No.

Bankruptcy doesn't erase anything from your credit.

In fact, it adds a very, very, bad thing to it.

There are two places that real property owners are listed.

First, you can visit the town tax assessor's office and look up the address of the property in those records. The owner's name should be listed. Tax assessor records are the easiest way to check to see who owns a particular parcel of real estate.

You can also check the local land records office. It may be a little more complicated but the clerk will show you how to access the information you need by using the land records. Generally, you can search by name and by address, looking for the most recent documents that affect the property.

I have resided in the state of New Jersey for over 25 yeras and have made a few home sales. New Jersey takes this law to the highest limits to protect the consumer. No one can sell a property without the CO. An inspector will show up and literally inspect everything. With pencil in hand , he prepares the list of all defects, however large or small and minor. The seller has to do all the repairs before any sale can take place. The inspector will make his second appearance to check the work performance that was ordered. I do , however believe if the home is listed for an as is sale that the Certificate of occupancy is not required. Paint chipping , however minor can be on the list. It is a good law and I am one all for it. Too many major defects are hidden from the unsuspecting buyer and this gives the buyer some protection. Do not hire your own inspector for a report as they do not follow code violations or the law. I would hire individual professionals to do a REAL INSPECT. For instance, a plumber, an electrician, heater and air tech, chimney flue, builder and roofer. It may costs you ,ore but you will get the real deal. Inspectors are working with the mortgage lenders/brokers to hit the money mark so the deal goes. They don't want a real inspector as they are deal killers. I am giving you good advice, please follow it. I was duped in a real estate deal and now have $100,000.00 in illegal defects. Currently in Court. Save yourself the grief. LOOK AT THE PROPERTY IN EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY. Hope this helps someone. Susan

Don't think so, but could after getting a civil judgment against you.

This depends on if the guest is two-legged or four-legged. With two legged guests you don't move into the house until it's vacant. If it's a four-legged guest, you can get rid of it right on the spot. In other words, if you moved into a house with pests infestation, it is the responsibility of the landlord to exterminate them only if it attached dwelling, such as an apartment. If your dwelling is a single-family home, mobile home, or even duplex, then it's your responsibility to exterminate the pests. Now, if you're talking about a person who was living in the home before you moved into it, that's inconceivable, and you should be moving into the house or dwelling with such condition.

Yes, the tenant must continue to pay the rent to the landlord who has control over the property. When the foreclosing entity takes control over the property, the tenant will be given instructions on to whom and where to pay the rent, or other instructions such as to vacate the premises.

Mostly a pull from the three main credit reporting agencies, Transunion, Equifax and Experian. This will show any recent judgments related to eviction, which is often the main reason for the background check, but can also show if the renter's debt picture (and income picture to the extent it's listed) leaves enough money to pay the rent. These will also show recent bankruptcies (which from a landlords point of view, are oddly a good thing).

More expensive background checks may divulge criminal convictions and charges, which are probably more than a landlord needs to know. Also included are prior addresses, which can be queried for references.

The most expensive legal, civilian backgruond checks may include international travel, product and service preference, names of friends, family, neighbors, schools attended, children (and their schools attended), sometimes academic performance, possession of firearms licenses, lists of owned real property, and quite a lot more. For purposes of background checking a renter, this would be overkill.

Gray Intel backgruond checks can reveal far more than this.

In general, you Have received legal documents (papers) that you may have to respond (answer) to in a set period of time. Court, Eviction, etc.

Yes it appears that Alabama Code §6-5-200 allows adverse possession after 10 years under recorded color of title, and, otherwise, after 20 years. The 20 years is not in the statute, but it appears to be in Alabama's Common Law. On its face, it appears to be a standard adverse possession statute, but I would disclaim that I am neither a lawyer nor a citizen of Alabama. You can research the statute or Alabama case law on FindLaw.com. Hope this helps you a little.

Depends on the state you live in. In Wisconsin, the landlord MUST repaint any unit between tenants.

The short answer is: he (or she) is NOT required to paint an apartment. Generally, whether a landlord paints an apartment depends entirely on the conditions of the rental market at the time and location. If it's a landlord's market, don't expect the landlord to paint, even if the place is a mess. The responsibility and cost of painting will be on the renter. Renters should get the landlord's permission in writing before painting, however. In a renter's market, landlords may offer to paint the place before you move in. If you've been living there a while and your lease is ending, the landlord may be willing to paint your unit if he doesn't want to lose you as a tenant. But I certainly wouldn't expect an apartment to be pointed more frequently than once every five years or so. Any tenant of mine that required his unit to be painted more often than that is not one I'd want to keep.

No, but you might end up very cold!

Some northern states and cold climate countries have laws about landlords turning off heat during the winter months but in many cases by the time the dispute over payment is resolved the tenant has moved.

As long as you pay the rent to the Clerk's registry you can ask for a continuance and/or file creative motions.
