Yes. The co-signer should be able to inspect the premises she/he has taken financial responsibility for.

To post rent that will be paid at a later date, create a journal entry that debits the rent receivable account and credits the rental income account. This action recognizes the income in the period it is earned, even though the cash has not yet been received. Make sure to note the expected payment date for tracking purposes. When the payment is received, you will then debit cash and credit rent receivable to reflect the transaction.

This depends upon what you mean by a guest. In legal terms, a guest is someone who is staying at the apartment or dwelling for a brief amount of time, usually less than two weeks. Normally a landlord does not have the right to charge you if you have such guests. If you have guest for a longer period of time, then this guest could be considered a subtenant and you could be doing what is called subletting: renting out part of your dwelling and charging that person rent for it. Most landlords do not allow subletting dwellings: they have the right to control who lives in their property. Some landlords may allow this and charge extra to the tenant for it. In that case, it cannot be considered a "guest charge."

Yes! If its for back rent maybe not if you pay it. Other wise YES!

There is no such thing as a reformed felon -- either you are a convicted felon or you're not: end of story.

That being said, only time will minimize the impact of your felony conviction, unless you are conviction is for violent or sexual offense -- something no apartment would ever rent to someone convicted of. In Florida you have to apply for the restoration of your civil rights. If it's been five years since the day you left prison or probation, and the offense is nonviolent or sexual in nature, this application process is relatively simple and will easily be granted. If it's for a violent offense, but not sexual in nature, you may be able to apply for your civil rights restoration in 15 years. Finally, if your offense is sexual in nature you may be able to apply for remission from having to register as a sex offender and restoration of your civil rights after at least 20 years.

The time frame I mentioned is not the day that you were convicted: it is the last day you served on probation or incarceration, whichever occurred later.

Yes, if you break your lease, the landlord will take you to court, and will likely be awarded whatever rent you owe. If you do not pay the judgement, they have the option of putting a lien on your credit. Your best option would be to carefully read your lease, then talk to your lanlord about leaving early. If you find a new tenent that the landlord agrees to rent to, you may be able to leave with no negative consequences.

Owners of spaces that can be leased are the only persons who can refuse to lease you the space.

If you believe that you have been discriminated against, you can take your issue to a local land-lord-tenant attorney to learn more about your options.

Well if a landlord can't turn off the water he must also be handicapped. There are no winners in this situation!

Answer#2: I'm no lawyer and I know California law better than Texas law but here's my thinking. There is a broad principle in landlord-tenant law that says the landlord cannot take eviction steps (like this) without approval from the courts. So the tenant could probably go to court and force the landlord to go through all the pain of the eviction process. Or they could pay the rent or leave.

The first answerer was right, there can be no winner at this point. No tenant has the right to stay when they cannot pay and the landlord must follow the law.

There are many types of residents of the United States who are legally able to stay here, and as long as that's the case, yes, you may rent to a non-US Citizen. If you're asking about whether you can rent to an illegal alien of the US, the answer varies according to jurisdiction. I have not heard of any specific laws against renting to illegal aliens but I would suggest you check with you local city county commission, or your state's landlord and tenant laws.

No. A condition of the lease being made is that there will be a co-signer. If no one will co-sign, then you are out of luck.

Yes the enclosure acts applied to Scotland and the entire United Kingdom. The enclosure acts occurred between 1604 and 1914.

You would be liable for the cost of the rent and the fees in your lease for breaking the lease. Your landlord can also successfully sue you to recover damages to re advertise the place.

Your landlord also has a duty to mitigate his damages, and to find a replacement tenant as quickly as possible. Unless you have a good cause to not move in; you will be stuck with these costs. A good cause would be unable to have quiet enjoyment of the house, anything structurally wrong with the house, or you can prove you will not be safe living in that house.

You could, but usually not. When people lose their voucher, it's usually because of drugs, or other illegal activity.

Actually yes you can if you're being sued for eviction because you owe rent, even if you're on the Voucher or Public Housing program.

High rise flats need to have proper spacing on verandahs and high rails to prevent them from accidentally falling. Keep the children well attended to so as to minimize the risk of accidents.

This time varies depending on the state in which you live. An attorney in your area can tell you how long it is valid for in your state.

The landlord has an obligation to try to rent it. If she cannot, she can sue you for each month, through the end of the lease.

If the apt is 'rent-regulated' there are yearly liimits on rent increases.

If the apt is not 'rent-regulated' then there are no yearly liimits on rent increases. However, the landlrod can not raise your rent until the lease expires.

To find out if your apartment is, or should be, 'rent-regulated' call DHCR at 718 739 6400.

They can then guide you to the specific information about permissable increases.

That can be tough. I know of three ways to tell if a tenant has vacated, listed in order from best to worst.

1. They surrender the keys, or submit a note saying that they have left. Not that they will be leaving, but have left.

2. They've had the utilities shut off. This is not the same as the utility companies shutting them off for non-payment, or other reasons.

3. There is nothing left in the unit to indicate that someone is living there, such as fresh food, clothing, furniture, toothpaste.

Some landlords hire a constable to document the condition of the premises, and write a report stating that he believes the premises to be abandoned.

If you think someone has vacated, you should change the locks, and collect anything left behind, and store it, in case the tenant comes back. How long you store it is your call - some landlords keep it for six months. You should write the tenants (at that address), and post a note on the door, saying "It appears you have left, so I have changed the locks. If you have not vacated, call me at this number (state your phone number here), and I will get you back in." In cases where the landlord quickly restored the tenant, I have seen judges rule that they committed no error.

You can work with the board to determine who has the responsibility to repair the damage and then who has the responsibility to pay for the repair, because the two responsibilities may be different.

This is not a matter that a single owner should handle solo: involve your board.

If they asked you on the application, and you lied, then, yes, technically, that is a lease violation that gives the landlord the right to terminate the lease. But, you make a very good point - why would they bother at this point? Sometimes, big management companies have hardline policies because they don't want word to get out that they're soft.

Evicting you would be a pain, and not really worth it. They might be smart to write you a letter saying that they will not be renewing the lease when it's up.
