If you disagree with the amount kept from your security deposit, you write what is known as a "demand" letter, demanding the amount you believe you are fairly owed and listing a specific date that this must be sent to you. If this is not done (or not done to your satisfaction) then you...

No. Whatever a landlord puts in a lease cannot override the states statutes, even if the tenant agreed to this by signing the lease. Gail

I thought that might be the case but I wanted to make sure. Here is some information regarding the landlord/tenant law in Ohio; focus on the section that covers security deposits: http://www.tenant.net/Other_Areas/Ohio/landlord.htm Because the 30 day deadline has passed, you could (if...

Clarification please... If your lease ended April 30, 2010 and you received this information May 23, 2010, thirty days had not passed. Or did you mean you received it June 23, 2010? Gail

You live in the house. Can't you turn the air conditioner on yourself? Have you discussed having the air conditioner on when the temperature reaches a certain level? Have you discussed having your landlord purchase you a room window air conditioner; even the smaller ones do a very good job...

Has this wandering penis of a male been legally determined to be the father of this boy? He can't simply "give up" his rights. It doesn't work that way. Since his parents have custody of at least 4 of this fellas children, he also has no say so in terms of not allowing this child to see...

How is the tenant damaging your fence and landscaping (this is a question that will be asked if you file for a restraining order) ? Gail

You also have no court order saying you CAN take your children out of state. Right now all you have is an order granting you visitation every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and maybe Wednesdays. From your own posting, you've moved from Florida to Alabama, back to Florida and now onto Texas with...

The attached is an excellent review of the process of eviction through the New York Housing Court. Remember that a landlord cannot evict anyone. Only a court can do that. If you fail to remedy the situation (i.e., either pay the owed rent or leave) by the end of the 30 day notice, the...

You might want to contact these folks: http://www.tenant.org/ Even if you don't live in Cook county, they may be able to direct you to a resource in the area where you live. It is likely that the landlord wants the rent in cash so there's no paper trail regarding his being taxed on this...

What, exactly, do you want? Your posting is riddled with either wanting the father of this child to man up and see his son or deciding to hold him back from seeing him because you don't like the new girlfriend. Quite frankly, you don't sound so mentally stable yourself; in back to back...

Yes, it is unenforceable, especially in California which is extremely tenant friendly. A judge is likely to ask what the heck does making the place "offensive" really mean in the first place? Gail

Dispute regarding security deposits are fairly common issues between landlords and former tenants. The typical court case involves a landlord not providing the security deposit within the required time period for the particular state or keeping the deposit for what tenants argue is normal wear...

It's important to keep in mind that a landlord cannot evict anyone. Only a court can do that. If the landlord wishes to evict someone, they would need to file for such through the local court system. You would receive notice of such a filing and a date for a hearing regarding this matter...

In addition (and depending on where you live) purchasing a house for cash requires far less work on the part of an attorney...and thus less legal fees. I've bought all my houses with cash and the closing costs have never exceeded $1000 and are typically around $800 to do the whole deal (this...

Is there some point to arguing with me? I'm not the landlord nor management. Suggestions were provided in the first response. Gail

So, your argument is that it is better to leave small children alone for up to 8 hours as opposed to you believing they're being starved? Sounds like an argument on who is the poorest parent here. And, as previously asked, how much of your court ordered plan have you completed? A court...

Quite frankly, folks who have grown children have forgotten what little beasts they were when they were two. As time passes, the memories of what noisy little boogers my two grown sons were at that age has faded for me. Now I see them as sweet little angels. I suppose I'm getting senile...
