Did the landlord engage in any of this rock throwing? If no, he is not financially responsible for what these tenants did to your car. He could focus on evicting them. You could, in turn, sue them for the damages they caused to your vehicle. Gail

Landlord tenant statues typically state that a landlord must provide a rental unit with electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation in working order. It's not unusual that air conditioning might not be included in this statute. Attached is the statute for Indiana that implies if air...

For heavens sake, how can some people be so incredibly dumb! You'll pay an attorney to fight this eviction but you won't simply show your landlord your card? California! Gail

There's a big visual difference between tree roots and baby wipes. Baby wipes are quite notorious for clogging up sewer lines. Gail

Why are you assuming that a hyphenated last name is confusing to the kids in school? Gail

The simplest thing would have been to show your landlord your card and be done with this issue. Gail

Did you and your twin brother take turns writing up this lease? Jacksgal is correct; you either have a month to month lease or you don't. If a month to month tenancy your tenant is only required to provide 30 days written notice to terminate this lease...

Then consider doing what I suggested in my first posting... Gail

As usual, this all comes down to what is "normal wear and tear" versus "damage" in a rental unit. Security deposits can be kept to address "damages" but not "normal wear and tear". Although smoking was not banned during your residency, this doesn't mean that you couldn't be charged for...

Follow through with the first hearing. Filing a second case without concluding the first one is very likely to be seen as retaliation in a tenant friendly state such as yours. Bring copies of the police reports to the hearing. Gail

The recommendation to have dad post for himself is that, legally, you can do NOTHING in regards to this matter. Legally you have no role in any of this. The court will see you as a stranger. As I write this, I realize this is a hopeless gesture on my part. You will likely be like so many...

Your landlord can begin the eviction process due to failure to pay rent whether one has a written lease or not. It's pretty difficult to come up with a valid reason as to why one should not be evicted when one fails to pay their rent. Gail

You are correct; the deposit was provided to the landlord at the time you signed the lease (I'm assuming) and it would be the landlord who would provide "A" with the remainder of his deposit once any owed rent, fees, cost of repairing damages above normal wear and tear is substracted from this...

It would have been most useful if your sister could have gotten this reduction in rent agreement in writing. Perhaps the assistant manager can speak up for her to the new management. Even if they agree she does not have to pay the back rent, it is likely she will need to begin paying the...

You had a copy of the the "contract" (i.e., the lease) that you picked up the next day after signing it. Yet it still took you over three days to read it and find this clause? It is up the you to thoroughly read a contract before you sign it. This is an extremely important thing for you...

Again, the question is was this deposit a "holding fee"? A holding fee is provided to take the unit off the rental market; it is provided prior to the lease being signed. Think of it along the lines of "earnest money" when a buyer wishes to purchase a property; a good faith show of money...

You could start by writing what is known as a "demand letter" to the landlord, stating what you believe is a fair share of the security deposit that should be returned to you within a certain amount of time (say, two weeks after the landlord receives this). Mention you will consider legal...

Couple of questions... 1. Was this deposit a "holding fee" to take the unit off the market? 2. What work was supposed to be done on the property? 3. Was the agreed upon work done at the time your lease initiated? Gail

Or your country since this is taking place in the United Kingdom. Gail
