Your security deposit should be returned to you minus any owed rent AND damages above normal wear and tear. Since it sounds as if you have not moved out yet (correct?) your landlord cannot, at this point, tell you if you will get any of it back as there has been no inspection of the...

You are correct in what you have read; to terminate a month to month tenancy legally in New York either party (the landlord or the tenant) must give a 30 day written notice. New York is also one of the few states where a time limit on security deposit return is not specified by a number of...

Even if you could wiggle out of your current lease citing that you now have a tenancy at will, Georgia requires a 30 day written notice on the part of the tenant (60 days for the landlord) to terminate such a lease. Gail

Begin the process of eviction as outlined in the state of Florida: http://www.rentlaw.com/eviction/floridaeviction.htm If your tenant is not including the late fee in the rent as outlined in your contract with him (i.e., the lease) then he has not paid the entire rent for the month...

- You can ask. The landlord does not have to comply with your request. - Your landlord can sue for eviction, then sue again for owed rent. - Again, if your landlord can find you, they can sue you for owed rent. Will they do this? Sorry; I left my crystal ball in the pants I dropped...

I'd guess stepmom or dads bedmate. Gail

Many landlords require credit (and criminal, work history, previous rental history) on ALL applicants over the age of 18...whether they are a married couple or not. Gail

Asbestos is only an issue if disturbed. The classic example are older buildings being renovated. From your posting it sounds as if management continues to remodel these older buildings and, after tenants have been moved out asbetos warnings are posted to acknowledge the risk during the...

He can't. You might have had a chance for abandonment before the father decided he wanted to play a role in his daughters life. Your husband has no legal rights in this matter. Gail

If you sign this modification, you are legally bound to it...unless your ex-husband agrees to further stipulations in terms of moving for employment, husband being deployed, etc. However, he is not likely to do this since what would then be the point of this modification? There is nothing...

Your first question should be whether Texas even requires landlords to be licensed real estate agents. Your second question should be what are you going to sue for? Since civil lawsuits involve financial issues, what financial damages have you incurred from this? Gail

It depends on how much money you're talking about. In Maryland monetary lawsuits up to $5000 can be heard in Small Claims court; this court does not require that you have an attorney present. You would represent yourself and since you seem to have adequate documentation on the issues and...

Nice try...but it would appear that the both of you knew what the current rent would be and have been paying it for the past six months. This does not invalidate the lease and you are financially reponsible for your share until the lease date ends. Your best bet is to look into the option...

Do these folks have a lease? If so and they have kept up with the rent, you cannot simply "kick" them out. Their lease would roll over to the new owner (you). However (and I'm assuming you mean they haven't paid MARCH's rent) and they have been given a 30 day notice, that is the time they...

Pay what is owed and stop worrying about something as small as $25. It's not worth wrecking your credit over this. Until your keys are actually turned back into management, you continue to owe rent on the unit. Gail

Then the tenancy ends when the keys are given to management. There are some strange things happening regarding this matter of an eviction on your credit history. In order for one to get evicted, a court has to grant the actual eviction. In order for this to take place, all parties...

There is another issue besides the fact that at age 13, the law says that you cannot give consent for sexual contact with an adult. You indicated Justin already had a criminal record prior to you meeting him. Missouri...like many states has a "three strikes and you're out" rule for repeat...

Did you turn in your keys to the landlord/management? Often the date one turns in the keys is the date used to determine when the tenant has vacated the unit. Gail

Look; you can ask all the "what ifs" that you want but quite honestly, you don't know what the landlord will claim in court. And, of course, we don't either. Send the letter, then decide if you want to file a lawsuit. Filing is easy (at least in my county it is); you go down the Clerk of...

The first step is typically to write the landlord a "demand" letter, disputing the amount she has kept from your security deposit and "demanding" the amount you believe you are fairly owed by a certain date (say, 2 weeks after the landlord receives the letter). If they refuse or ignore the...
