Landlord-Tenant Issues

A tenant should leave the property in a state comparable to the time they moved in asside from reasonable wear and tear.

When the tenant moves out. How soon that will happen will depend on several variables. If the tenant has been evicted and served with a writ of ejectment, then he must leave the premises before the time listed on the ejectment order. If the tenant is voluntarily moving out, they generally will move out by the end of the rent term (the end of the month in most cases).

For every country there are a set of laws that deal with the evicting of non-paying tenants. In the UK there is the 1988 Housing Act and the 'no fault' section 21 process. The procedure usually requires a court hearing.

Usually the tenant(s) name(s), the term of the lease, e.g. a 6 month or 1 yr lease; the cost of the apartment. I believe that's the minimum but you can have a contract several pages long covering things you haven't thought of. If you secure the services of an attorney you'll know what I mean.

Yes, but you will have to follow the same eviction steps as if you did have an agreement.

You'd probably have to ask them. A voucher could come from any housing authority in the country, including agencies that act as vendors. Even if you asked the right authority, they shouldn't violate the person's privacy by answering the quesion. More to the point, why would you ask? There's nothing wrong with having a voucher - in fact, authorities are picky about who they give them to. The neighbor with a voucher is propably more 'responsible' than the average tenant.

El contrato redactado entre partes, donde una de ellas alquila a otra bienes con opción a compra, se denomina leasing (arrendamiento financiero).

Depending on the landlord, the results will vary. However, most landlords will not return your safety deposit AND charge you the price to replace whatever has been broken. And sadly, they are in full rights to do so...

We don't know what state you are in - you could ask again & include the location. Some places give them three days to move. Other places give them 30 days. You can phone your city hall or court house to get information.

Contractual Capacity is the legal ability to enter into a conract. Minors have particular rights and obligations established by the court when it comes to contracts. Once a person reaches age 18, they are considered a legal adult in every state in the nation. In adittion to minors, other persons are able to aviod contracts. Mentally implaired and intoxicated people, convicts, and aliens lack the capicity to enter into a contract.

Check your state's landlord tenant laws. In some states the tenant is liable if they were aware of a problem and did not report it to the landlord, did nothing to prevent the problem or if they are responsible for causing the problem.

it depends on the gym you have to look at the size and condition for different prices

They trapped farmers in poverty for generations.

Go to the local police station and tell them what happened. They will then give you some forms to fill in, and go from there.

Also, you can go to the baddeal website and file a complaint online from there.

If the landlord accepts your rent and you pay it, after the lease is signed, then it generall doesn't matter whether it's properly dated.

If the lease was supposed to be for a specific period such as one year and the date was omitted, that could benefit either party depending on the circumstances.

Depends on your lease. If the lease says something happens, then it does.

If the lease is not in writing, one of a few things can happen. Nothing is one. If it's very late the landlord could ask you for something like a late fee, and you could agree or not. The landlord could threaten to terminate your lease if you don't pay some kind of late fee, and that's a dilemma, especially where you set up a situation where you start paying late fees, then the next time the landlord will expect you to pay it like an additional part of the (unwritten) lease agreement

DEFINITELY!!!! If you are a landlord you must have the tenant's social security number in order to properly screen the tenant (i.e. run a credit check, use online reference databases such as www.AboutTenants.com). If you end up renting to that person and they move out owing you money then you will need the SSN in order to obtain a judgment in small claims court and garnish wages.

It depends on the jurisdiction. Your best bet is to check with a local legal aid or tenant's rights organization to see if it's allowed in your particular location. In some places, the situation you've mentioned is perfectly fine; in others, anything above the first month's rent is considered a security deposit (regardless of what the rental agreement calls It) and is subject to restrictions on "reasonable" security deposit amounts.

In practice, it may not matter much.

California, for example, allows landlords renting an unfurnished property to collect a security deposit of two months' rent, but not more than that, no matter what it's called: security deposit, last month's rent, pet deposit, key fee, cleaning fee, all of these are regarded by the state as a security deposit and cannot total more than two months' rent (with the exception that the landlord may charge a "screening fee"; the amount may not be more than the landlord's actual out-of-pocket expenses, such as obtaining a credit report, and is subject to a statutory maximum dollar limit as well -- this is NOT part of the security deposit). So, that puts you on the hook for about $50, plus first month's rent, plus two months' rent equivalent as a security deposit, maximum; a total of just over 3 months' rent.

In contrast, Massachusetts allows landlords to collect first month's rent, last month's rent, and a security deposit and treats them all separately ... but limits the security deposit to one month's rent instead. So you'd still have to come up with three months' rent (plus the cost of a new lock and key, which MA law also explicitly allows) to move in, it would just be broken down slightly differently.

We have a person renting in one of the condos where we live (South Carolina) Ever since they moved in last Dec, it has been one thing after another. Cops come out all the time, and they are constantly having to be send notices to pay rent. Tonight again we had a major problem, the wife was beat up, the medical truck came out...she walked to get in. Cops came out to take reports...and several people that lived out here for several years are just fustrated because we have been told that the guy they rented from is in the process (which has been going on since the first of the year) of serving papers to get them out. I understand that could take months before anything actually happens. The cop told me tonight that the HOA could have residents sign a notice to remove them and that if a majority signs it then we may be able to get them out before the person they are renting from does. They also moved another family (a 4-BR unit) into the condo and our bylaws state that only one family per unit. What does this do to maybe help speed up getting these people out? Thank you in advance.

From my understanding of the laws in the state of Georgia (USA) as far as a home/property rental, there is no limit on the late fee so long as the late fee has been agreed upon by the tenant and landlord in the signed lease. If there is no late fee mentioned in the lease, the landlord can not just decide to charge one and make one up. From the State of Georgia's Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) Landlord-Tenant Handbook: The date the rent is due should be stated in your lease or agreed upon by the landlord and tenant. There is no law which specifies any grace period or designates a rent due date. Rather, a grace period is a matter of agreement between the landlord and tenant. It allows the tenant extra time in which to pay the rent without breaching the lease or rental agreement. The landlord and tenant may agree to any grace period they choose or they can agree not to have a grace period. In addition, a grace period may be created based on the landlord's conduct of accepting late rent over the course of several months without charging a penalty. If a tenant fails to pay the rent by the required date, including the time allowed for a grace period, the landlord may charge a late fee if the late fee is provided for in the lease. If the lease does not allow for a late fee, the landlord is not allowed to impose such a fee. The amount of the late fee will be the amount agreed upon by the landlord and tenant in the lease itself.

It depends on where you live, but usually, you first visit the place you want to rent. If you like it, you take arrangement with the landlord, sign a contract, and usually, you are now the tenant of the house/apartment/room.
