    Landlord Charging Me For Carpet Replacement

    Just about all states give a landlord/management a certain amount of time to return the security deposit after the tenant has vacated the unit/returned the keys. In Oregon this is 30 days. Often damage (such as cat urine into carpet) is not found until after the tenants have moved out and...

    Are apt. managers aloud to tell about tenants personal business?

    Don't pay your rent late and the issue of an eviction shouldn't come up. Don't get drunk to the point where you have fist fights with others and where the police have to be called and there shouldn't be any further issues. Open your mouth to tell her boss that she is saying things that are...

    Need information on not renewing lease

    Your lease is with both the tenant and your local housing authority/section 8 office. You need to double check with them. Typically Section 8 does not allow month to month tenancies; this is one way landlords who do not wish to deal with Section 8 avoid doing so (i.e., they only run month to...

    Delay eviction/Writ of possesion owner filed bankrupt

    I strongly suspect that when law enforcement shows up to handle the eviction, they're not going to listen to any discussion you might have on this matter. They'll likely tell you that the court has granted the dispossessory request and they're simply there to carry it out. This is because...

    Pets After 11 years no pets?

    Before you decide to fight this, please understand what type of lease you have... In the absence of a written lease you are considered to have a month to month tenancy (sometimes known as a tenancy at will). Your "lease" begins the first day of each month and ends on the last day of the same...

    landlord thats not the landlord

    If you didn't want to upset the apple cart on this deal, why did you contact the actual owner? The actual owner now knows you live there and unless the two can talk him into letting you stay (and becoming tenants), he's likely to focus on getting all three of you out legally. Gail

    Could Really Use Some Help! Please!!

    Unless dad goes to court to get this physical custody order changed, things will remain the same. One thing to keep in mind (and I'm sure other posters will chime in on this). There is no "us" or "we" here. You are considered a legal stranger in this entire process (and would be even if you...

    landlord over 2-3 times a day

    It's a REALLY bad idea to live next door to your landlord. I did that once as a graduate student and my landlady drove me nuts. It sounds as if your lease will be up soon. Start looking for another place. In the meantime, you could request that your landlord follow the requirement of...

    Pets After 11 years no pets?

    I'm going to assume that after 11 years there is no lease in place, correct? If not, you are considered to have a month to month tenancy. Your landlord can change the rules on a monthly basis and so yes, they can now tell you that your unit is going to be a no pets unit and your options are...

    unwanted houseguest

    Often the best way to do this is to file for an actual eviction. Family members often don't leave without this "nudging" from the court system. Evictions are typically initiated by the landlord (you) notifying the tenant (mom) in writing that they must vacate the premises within a certain...

    Strange Landlord-Tenant problem

    Quite honestly, do they know your new address? If they do file against you, they would need to know your new address to have your served. If they were to file, they would need to show proof in court that there was some type of documentation regarding the payment schedule for utilities in...

    Served a three day notice to pay or quit

    Perhaps the extra $90 includes the cost of either the attorney fees for sending out the second letter or the court costs for filing for an eviction. Gail
