Candi, the laws regarding rental properties and mobile homes are different. Having never had to deal with mobile homes I must admit this is not my expertise. But as no one has responded to you I want to offer you something. You mentioned there are laws the county has that addresses your problem...
Yes, but I would still hold on to the receipts and evidence you have to prove your side. The form you were supposed to be sent for California it's called a "Security Itemization Form." You can always call your local court and inquire. By now they have waived any damages by not sending it to you...
If what you say is true, your landlord sounds like a jerk. I wouldn't worry if I were you, you have the truth on your side. Save all your receipt expenditures and any written correspondences you had with the landlord. It wouldn't hurt to get a notorized statement of what your pastor observed...
I just read about your situation, sorry. But if you have not gone to court yet, it would be a great idea to file your lawsuit against the tenants so it can all be heard by the same judge at the same time. Most likely, they won’t show up and you’ll win by default. That would be ideal and save you...
True. I guess I should have made that clear, but I thought it was understood. Tenant must still pay rent. And, my suggestions do not negate that. Tenant may want to be very humbling when approaching LL to work as a team, to resolve the cause of this bill.
The landlord is innocent in roommate disputes. It's not his/her fault the match didn't work out. I can understand his/her position as long as s/he is being paid, there is no reason to intervene. However, everyone has to mitigate their damages. What is telling and in your favor are all the things...
Here's more information that may be helpful. A lot of people are unaware of this, I recently discovered it myself. Unknown if Florida laws differ but when A/C's are installed the law requires a city inspection and a HERS rater to come evaluate the installation. It seems many A/C companies were...
Unfortunately, the current landlord is on the hook. If the security itemization form is sent out in time and he even documents an outstanding balance, he has hung himself. It's true you are not responsible and you have documentation to back up your case. True, you never know what a judge will...
I'm a bit concerned about this one. It sounds a little too weird for me. It's one thing to enter without notice, but to take your prescription meds too. I'd get out of ther ASAP. Even though he admitted being there, I find that a bit suspect too. Did he admit to it because maybe he was seen...
I think you have been given a lot of good advice. You have really gotten yourself into a pickle. When you get scared you can make it worse. I was going to tell you to immediately pay at a minimum $200, but it's too late for all of that. The more you do and say without legal counsel the worse it...
I agree with Gail, and it sounds like you're going to do the right thing. Roommate situations rarely work because it's difficult to live with other people. Be grateful she is allowing you out of the lease without penalty, sign the document and move on. Use this as a learning experience, to drag...
The advice you have been given, are some good ideas. My advice is to start with the lease they both signed and read it carefully. It should state what address legal notices are to be sent, how to legally break the lease, penalties for breaking the lease early, etc. The other thing you said that...
I hired a contractor and gave him numerous opportunities to complete contract, he did not. I acquired bids of cost to complete his contract sent him an itemized list with settlement check. He cashed check, then when asked for proof of lien removal if filed, he filed lawsuit against me. At small...
