You could, of course, join the military also and get orders for a transfer. In that case, with 30 days notice and a copy of the orders you too could be let out of the lease. In the meantime you would owe for the entire rent. If you haven't considered this, try posting on craigslist and some...

Like many other homeowners in the same boat, a landlord may have gotten caught up with a mortgage that has suddenly ballooned in the amount of payments owed. If you have a signed lease, they cannot raise your monthly rent to reflect this extra cost. Your landlord may also have (again, like...

Your could consider paying them to leave. A "cash for keys" deal. Whether this is worth it for you would depend on how significant the costs are for filing for eviction and marshall fees. Gail

Tenants who face rental foreclosures now have federal protection against facing sudden eviction should their rental unit go into foreclosure. Attached is a description of the 2009 law that provides them at least 90 days after a foreclosure to find another place to live...

I have already suggested doing the demand letter first. This may help you avoid going to court. Gail

Your renter has a tenancy at will (i.e., they are a month to month tenant). In Georgia, a landlord is required to provide a 60 day written notice to terminate such a tenancy: http://www.dca.state.ga.us/housing/HousingDevelopment/programs/downloads/landlord/lstermrenu.html You do not need...

What is an RPU bill? Some type of utility bill? Gail

It is important that you show up in court just to make certain that the correct information is presented. Gail

I doubt anyone here knows the landlord tenant laws in the United Kingdom. Sorry. Gail

What, exactly, is this mysterious bill? Attached are the requirements for security deposit returns (and what can be kept) for the state of Minnesota: http://www.mncourts.gov/default.aspx?siteID=2&page=1114 gail

The lease with an option to purchase can be written several ways; a purchase price is decided upon initially (the most common way to do this) or the price becomes the "market value" of the unit at the time of the actual purchase (less commonly used). As the buyer you "gamble" that the price of...

Nope; not in Texas. Gail

Small claims court really do not require an attorney. Often the cost of one will negate any judgement one might receive. I'd suggest writing the letter first and seeing how the landlord responds. Gail

Frankly, you need to think this through. Again, your 30 day notice implied that your lease ended on November 22. Because tenants were moving in as you were moving out, I am going to assume that they began paying rent at that time. If so, you are certainly entitled to the prorated rent for...

What type of lease did you have? Was this a year lease or a month to month tenancy? Sounds like there was some confusion since the 30 day notice would have ended November 22 and it's likely that's when the landlord felt you would be moved out. She did notify you (quite a few times, it...

If mom does not inform the judge of these concerns (and has the evidence to back this up), yes. Gail

Repairs should not take that long, although in the middle of a cold spell everyone is suddenly calling the repair guys and they are typically swamped with business. Requiring an entire new unit is likely to take longer, depending on whether the unit is in stock, how long it takes to be...

They don't have to test for it. You do. If part of your claim for breaking your lease is that this unit contains black mold....and management sues you for doing this....you would have had a much stronger case if you actually had evidence that this was black mold as well as documentation...

Here's a one of your problems... There are..literally...thousands of strains of mold. Only one strain (stracybotrys chartarum) has been linked to respiratory issues in some humans. From your posting, it would indicate that no testing was ever actual done on what you found. Was it? If...

In the absence of a written lease, a tenant is considered to be a month to month renter (sometimes known as having a "tenancy at will" in some states). This typically requires a 30 day written notice on the part of the tenant (in California) to terminate the lease (I'm assuming your father pays...
