why was he denied a court appointed attorney? Gail

When you find someone to take over your lease, you remain financially responsible for that person should they fail to keep up their end of the bargain. It likely would have been better for you to sign off on the lease (i.e., after all the remaining tenants and the landlord agreed to this) and...

It would have been far better for you to take care of the power business instead of relying on the landlord to do this. He, of course, had no incentive to do so. By doing so, the power company would have read the meter when they came to turn off the power and you would only have been billed...

Since you've provided no detailed information on what unsafe conditions existed, what you did to notify your landlord and how much time you gave them to remedy the situation, no one here can tell you whether you deserve to get your deposit back. If you have asked for your deposit and the...

?Flood carpets? Is he kidding? The water is likely to be absorbed in any carpet (and padding) but that doesn't mean they dry out without something like an attempt to actually dry out the carpet and padding. A wet vacuum will get some of the surface water but will not touch the wet pad...

Tell us you're kidding. You actually expect a reduction in owed rent due to lack of tact? If you had claimed a reduction in rent due to cleaning up the place, one could almost buy this argument. I have a feeling Mr. (or Mrs. R...or both) are down at the local Clerk of Court right now...

Contact peco yourself (I'm assuming peco is the name of the power company) and have the bill changed into your name as a residential customer. Gail

"Quiet enjoyment" means that you have the right to receive adequate notification if the landlord wishes to enter the property; they can't simply barge in unless there is an emergency. Flower pots aren't covered in quiet enjoyment. Landlords typically worry about being sued over things that...

Quite honestly, have a yard sale regarding what they've left behind, work with your insurance company and don't bother wasting more money trying to track these folks down. Even IF you can find them and you take them to court (and most of these cases are heard in Small Claims; North Carolina...

A search of the state of Washington landlord/tenant laws could find no law that specifically addressed this issue. Gail

You're a smart cookie. Your husband, on the other hand, is a bit of a dim bulb. Feel free to knock him upside the head. Better yet, have him do a "google search" on all the landlords who have gone into foreclosure recently. As army judge wrote, no one is unaware that they owe three...
