You live in new jersey and your tenant requested that you change the locks because her husband moved out and is no longer living with her Can you change the locks?

A landlord could get in trouble with the husband for changing the locks, but that seems unlikely, especially with a letter from the wife asking that they be changed. There is also no reason why the wife cannot change the locks herself.

Is landlord required to replace blinds?

Whether a landlord is required to replace blinds depends on the lease agreement and local laws. Generally, if the blinds are damaged due to normal wear and tear, the landlord is responsible for their replacement. However, if the damage is caused by the tenant's negligence, the tenant may be held liable. It's best to consult the lease and local housing regulations for specific obligations.

What kind of notice does landlord have to give tenant whose lease has expired and is on month to month in Florida?

Lease expiration creates a three way avenue for landlords. They may either chose to quit the lease (though, this avenue would legally have to be brought to the attention of the leaseholder at the commencement of the lease agreement, as reasonable notice on a one year lease, is one year.), renew the lease agreement for another period of time, or continue the terms of the original lease on a sufferance basis (meaning a time to time situation, or more commonly known as the month to month agreement).

If a landlord should elect to continue the terms of your original lease on a sufferance, or month to month, basis - he or she would be required to give you one months advanced notice that they wish to quit the tenancy at sufferance.

Is the section 8 application form started in fl?

This question is vague. If you're asking if there is Section 8 in Florida, the answer is yes: Section 8, now known as Housing Choice Voucher Program, is everywhere in the United States, per federal (HUD) regulations.

If you're asking if there are any voucher programs open in Florida to apply, there may be or there may be a waiting list, which may or may not be open.

The housing choice voucher program is administered by local or regional Housing authorities. These housing authorities, most of which administer the housing choice voucher programs, have their own set of rules by which people can apply for housing assistance.

In most cases Housing authorities have a waiting list. When that waiting list reaches its capacity -- this is typically most of the time -- the waiting list is closed and remains closed until funding is received to assist more families. Some housing authorities have a d lottery system, by which they will open up the waiting list on a certain date and collect names of potential applicants. Out of a certain number of applicants who do place their names on the list, only a few names are accepted -- the rest are purged.

Many Housing authorities prioritize the waiting lists to people who fit certain categories, such as the elderly, disabled, veterans, our families with children. As soon as the person's name comes up on the waiting list -- this typically is about five years for a Housing Authority in a popular jurisdiction -- the family is contacted by the Housing Authority to further proceed in processing their application.

When a waiting list is open the Housing Authority is required by federal law to publish such an opening to their local news media, typically the local newspaper. Oftentimes you can check their website to see if they're waiting lists are open. If the waiting list is open, there will be instructions given on how to place your name on it -- usually a time, place or phone number, and a certain time range on when to contact them.

Can a landlord pick and choose what to in-force on a lease agreement?

Actually he can apply certain sanctions for certain violations while he can give notices to correct problem for others and automatic evictions for more serious violations. But he cannot apply certain penalties for one person and not for the other for the same violation(s).

How is the tenant affected when a landlord files Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

It depends on the way the house is included in the bankruptcy. If the mortgage is up to date and the landlord is reaffirming the mortgage, there should be no effect. If the landlord is abandoning the property to the mortgagee, you will either get a notice to start paying rent to the mortgagee or a notice to quit or both. Talk to a bankruptcy lawyer right away, as there are some things you may be able to do to delay things or get help moving.

You would need to file a lawsuit against them for a legal eviction. I strongly advise that you retain an attorney to do this. If you win your lawsuit, then the sheriff will forcefully remove them from the premises.
