I can understand your frustration. And that is blinding you to sound advice. I don't blame you for being mad. I would too if someone threaten me with jail. He probably didn't keep it in a separate account. Naturally, he is going to threaten you. You gave yourself your own advice, but...

I didn't say I would know how the judge would rule, but he will lose. 1) NO WRITTEN NOTICE - that alone forfeit the deposit 2) If there is damages, regardless the length of time to rent the place, the FACT remains there was damages. How can we know that that the LL did not work 24...

Sorry, but if you don't have pictures, you will lose. Having witnesses does not matter. Yes, the LL can indicate that once the place was vacated, he noticed things that was not visable while the place was being occupied. Once vacated he can say he had a better view of the place and notice...

You have to have it in writing. No matter if the judge was listening on the phone conversation, it has to be in writing. The LL could have kept it all, charged you for damages and cleaning. But he did give back half, thought he was being fair, which in my opinion, he was. You are not...

Why would the LL not pay? Because no one can prove that "Mold" was the problem. Why? Because mold is everywhere. The only obligation the LL had was to fix the leak around the furnace and clean the mess up. If you want the carpet and pad to be removed, than asked permission to have it...

You signed a contract at the age of 19, legal age to sign. You did not need a co-signer. You are obligated to the terms of that lease.

. As Gail said, the weather has an effect on cooling a place. The ac cannot do anymore than what they are built for. The LL cannot blow cool air from his mouth either. The temp here is in the 100..major heat wave. My house is also at 86 degrees. And my unit is 10 years old. Even you stated...

They may let you out with a fee charge for breaking the lease. When you do this have them state this in writing. If not, if you leave, they could say you just left and owe them rent. Recently had a LL do this to my nephew. She came back later stating they did not give a written letter to...

Why would you want to do try to find something to sue about? Didn't the LL allow you to stay longer? Yes...he didn't have to but he did. Now, he is letting Mr. Owens stay because of pending surgery. Sounds like a kind and generous LL. But NOW, things are not going your way and using the "I...

I agree with everything you said except for the last part. I would send her a certified letter on the two items, piano and bookcase, stating she has 30 days to pick it up or it would be consider abandon. She probably does not want to have any association with this person. So sending letter...

First of all, what have you done that the LL has tried twice to evict you? LL had no obligations to replace appliances if they were not damaged due to the fire. How come you called the police several times about him wanting to evict you? Can you really blame the police getting mad? It was...

If OP submits a claim on the LL insurance without LL knowing, that is fraud. LL has no matter in this. By the way, wind just tore off a shingle on my roof, can I have your insurance company so I can file? Makes just as much sense.

WRONG! The LL insurance company has no part in this. The only reason why your homeowner policy paid was that it was YOUR son damaging a NEIGHBOR car. And to have the tenant ask for LL to submit claim will raise the LL policy. You know and I know, once you submit a claim, REGARDLESS, if...

It could also be harassment and intimidation on your part also. LL could turn the tables on you just as well... 1) You did not provide the card, so LL calls the police. LL had to go through all this just because you have to prove a point. (harassment) 2) You was daring him to do this...

Why would the plumber lie? If the plumber said it was baby wipes, you will have to pay. Every tenant wants to blame tree roots, so they don't have to pay. As far as a proper sewer, you knew when you sign the lease and accepted it as it was. How can you avoid a tree from having roots? Do...

You have to look at if from the LL side. If the police suspects drugs in a place, they CAN sieze the house and if the LL knows about it, hence, neighbors indicating they smell it, than the police can assume that the LL knew it and he can be arrested also. If your were the LL and knew you could...

If this has been going on for six years, than why did you renew each year? So you are aware of the problems and what comes with it. So now you want something for your inconvenience? LL has done repairs within a reasonable time, it takes days to fix that type of problems. Flooding, pipes...

The rent was paid in full for the 4-5 months, if the other management did not act upon it..but with this new one, she will have to start paying the amount of the lease. Your sister being single, health matters, cannot afford back rent, to move or legal fees has no bearing on this.

Gail gave the right advice..especially using the "race card". Was ready to reply but when I read that, I was done.
