If a landlord refuses you rent is the lease broken by them?

It depends if you are already late or in the process of getting Evicted. IF you are current on your rent payments and the Landlord denies your rent payment. He/She must give you an explanation to why. If they don't then yes they are breaking the lease agreement because they are required to collect the rent money from you and they are not allowed to make you late either which is completely illegal

Why would you have to give notice to move when its the end of your lease term?

Some leases automatically renew themselves if notice is not given within a certain amount of time before the end of the lease term.

How long do you have to move your belongings out after being evicted in Illinois?

there are 2 stages to eviction;

the judge grants an UNLAWFUL DETAINER first. If the tenant does not leave,

the judge then, on application, will grant, 10 days later, a WRIT OF RESTITUTION.

The sheriff will act on that in 1-5 days.

[so, in 18 days max, the tenant will be removed physically]

Should you pay for your utilities when you move out if you break your lease?

If you broke the lease, you're responsible for any charges unless you can prove the residence was uninhabitable. If the utilities are separate from the rent, then you're definitely on the hook.

Is a lease valid if the tenant is not given a copy in fl?

Chances are that the answer is yes. I mean if a lease is valid when it's done orally, and no one has a copy, then if you signed it that's it.

Can a landlord evict you even though you paid rent for that month?

Your landloard can keep your Security Deposit, not advanced rent (such as last month's rent), for non-payment of rent or damages. An eviction alone doesn't automatically allow a landlord to keep all of your deposit. Now let's clarify what an eviction is: it's a court proceeding to remove you from your home. A landlord asking you to leave after a specific perios of time is not an eviction.

CAN A LANDLORD REFUSE TO GIVE RECIEPTS?

Most states require that the landlord issue a receipt upon tenant's payment of their rent. If the tenant writes a check or uses a credit/debit card, their canceled check or transaction record (credit/debit card receipt generated by the printer) can substitute for a receipt.

Is it illegal for someone else to change the memo description line on the check?

It would not be considered illegal to change the memo description of a check. It is illegal though to alter other parts of the check such as the amount of the check, who the check is payable to and the signature.

If a wife is the primary tenant in a New York City rent stabilized apartment can the spouse get their name on the lease too?

(2009)

The landlord is under no obligation to add another name to the lease. He may add it at his option. He can also increase the rent upon doing so.

The husband can become a roomate however, without needing permission from the landlord. In such instant, the landlord is not entitled to a rent increase based upon the addition of a roomate.

Can your roommate sue you if you break your lease for the remainder of the lease If you give them more than 30 days notice and are trying to find a sublet though they are unwilling to allow a sub?

Probably, but they certainly have an obligation to consider the prospective subs you find. More to the point, your roommate has an obligation to try to find a new roommate who suits their criteria. This is often hard in college towns, where people might leave any time in the year, but only arrive looking for housing in September.

How long does a foreclosure eviction stay in record?

What record? The court's records are permanent.

Added: And so is your credit history.

Did not sign final lease papers can you break a lease without a final signature?

In most states if you accept an apartment, move in it, and pay the rent, it is an agreement to the acceptance of the terms and conditions on the lease, whether signed or not. If the landlord gives you the keys and accepts the rent, it is an agreement on his part of the terms and conditions, whether signed or not.

Can the house owner throw the flowerpots of the tenant out after allowing it to keep it a long time?

As the question is put, the answer is likely no.

The tenant has a right to peaceful enjoyment of the property.

If the tenant was in violation putting the flower pots out, that is different.

The courteous thing would be to give a warning.

If the tenant had been warned, then they were wrong to not remove them and should not complain about consequences following their inaction.

Why is it important to sign a lease?

A lease holds a binding agreement between the landlord and tenant for the duration of the term of the lease. If a tenant is renting the property or unit on a month-to-month basis then the landlord could make changes to the terms of the month-to-month tenancy at any time, given proper notice (for month-to-month it would be 30 days before the next rent is due). This could mean a sudden rent hike or other changes like no longer allowing pets.

What does short term lease mean?

Typically any lease less than 6 months would be considered a short term lease. Common short term leases are month to month and 3 month leases

Is it legal for a landlord to lock you out without an eviction notice in Minnesota?

It is illegal for a landlord to deny access or prevent access to a tenant without having formally completed a legal eviction process. The tenant should contact local law enforcement for help with accessing their property if they are denied access illegally.

If the court agrees with the tenant, it will order a law enforcement officer to help the tenant get back in. If the court decides that the landlord knew (or should have known) that the lockout or other exclusion was unlawful, the court may order the landlord to pay the tenant up to triple damages or $500, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney's fees. Minn. Stat. 504.225 (1992)

Can a landlord be criminaly charged for moveing your beloings out of their property that you started moveing out of over 30 days ago?

Whether the landlord has the right to enter the premises and remove your belongings depends on several things:

1. What laws govern the tenancy? Each state, province, territory, etc has its own specific landlord-tenant laws and regulations, and the laws are quite different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

2. How long has your property remained in the premises after you gave notice of termination or were given notice to vacate?

3. Were you evicted? Did you just move out and leave your goods behind? If so, your landlord may have a legal right to enter the premises and remove the property because it might very well be considered abandoned under the law.

Does a tenant have to pay percentage rent at the office property?

If that is what the property wants. They do own what you are renting. I putthe question into proper English. Hope that you didn't mind! ;-)
