Did your lease address parking or did you folks simply assume free parking was included in this rental? Has there been an issue with all tenants not being able to find enough parking spaces in the parking lot? Can folks park in areas outside the lot (i.e., street parking)? Gail

Keep the court date. Your issue is evicting the tenant, not suing for owed rent. Thus, even if she did file for bankruptsy, this should have no effect on your request for an eviction based on failure to pay rent. Gail

OP, quit saying this couple had no relationship. Their relationship may have consisted of a couple of exercises of mattress mambo but the guy didn't snail mail his sperm into the woman. Gail

No, you're not obligated to give this money; however, I'd suggest a common sense solution. Sounds like your landlord hasn't the funds to fix the windows (probably because someone didn't pay their rent regularly). Or they are concerned that they'll fix the windows (and other repair issues)...

The landlord cannot do an illegal eviction by changing the locks. However, you did notify him that your move out plans had changed and that your boyfriend had decided to stay until the end of the lease, correct? And then there's the little problem of being 12 days late on the rent (rent is...

How late past the 30 day requirement did you receive this information? Remember the 30 days is based on when the information/remaining security deposit was sent (i.e., postmarked), not when you received it. Information can include either actual receipts or estimates. Before you file a...

There can be many reasons why a landlord/management will not accept an applicant. You may be working but your income is too low to meet their income requirements. Same with your credit history. They may have checked with former landlords and found issues with you paying on time. They may...

"I feel they are not giving the place to us because of our age". Prove it...in court. Gail

iseeta... For information sake, the required 60 day notice the landlord must provide only involves tenancy at will leases (i.e., month to month leases) in Georgia. As army judge has pointed out, your landlord had the right to ask you to move and you had the right to refuse. If you had...

Before you stick your foot in your mouth answering army judge, you might want to review his/her credentials. At any rate...in Georgia a landlord has 30 days to return a tenants security deposit or provide information as to why they are not receiving either the full amount back or a portion of...

Have you considered filing criminal charges against him for stealing from you? The police will generally not step in in civil cases (i.e., an eviction) without a court order granted such a judgement. However, I once kicked my oldest son out of the house with the help of the police after he...

Sure if you wish (some days it seems everyone sues). Might be better to send a letter disputing the amount kept and "demanding" the return of the security deposit that you believe is rightfully yours. Set a date (say, two weeks after the landlord receives the letter) when you expect the...

I believe you may have posted this same issue on another legal forum and the general response was that taking someone whose rent would be 80 percent of their monthly income was a less than brilliant decision. You are attempting to be a landlord in one of the most tenant-friendly states in the...

Guess you didn't like the answers you were provided at forum.freeadvice.com. I thought Farmers advice was quite helpful as always. Gail

Tenant/landlord law might be a bit different in the UK but if you're paying all of the rent I can't see the landlord attempting to evict you. Why would they? Generally to remove a tenant from a lease agreement all involved (i.e., the former tenant, the current ones and the landlord) would...

At first I thought this had something to do with chickens.... If you take legal action against management (or the boyfriend), what proof do you have that 1. you ever resided in this rental unit and 2. that you had permission to do so? Any documentation regarding your share of the rent paid...

You provided your landlord with 60 days notice that you were terminating your lease (even though it was scheduled to end May, 2010). It would appear from your posting that your landlord did not protest you breaking your lease early. Correct? Therefore, they agreed that the lease...

Florida law regarding security deposits: http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html The landlord had 30 days after you vacated (in November, 2009) to provide you with information as to the status of your security deposit. Because they provided this months later, they now have no claim...

Many standard leases include a clause that covers showing the house when it will be up for rent again (or up for sale). Anything in your lease? As a general rule, you need to provide at least 24 hours notice (in writing) regarding showing a house when tenants are present. Such times for...

1. A moot point since you've vacated the rental unit. 2. That might be the case with something that "wears out" over time (for example, a carpet, a refrigerator, or a washer or dryer that will, eventually, wear out as the years go on). But a vent hood (which may get dirty with grease) really...
