The rodent elimination has to be a joint effort between the tenants and the landlord. Yes, the landlord can eliminate and attempt to maintain a rodent free property. However, if the tenants do not cooperate from their end (keeping food covered, disposing of trash very quickly, providing...

Even if you were paying rent to your mother, your mother (as your landlord) would have the right to demand a key to her property. Do you believe mom is stealing your property? What would she want with your college books and papers? Gail

Your posting is a bit confusing. Alaska statute 34.03.290 addresses the amount of time required to terminate a lease (i.e., a week to week lease, a month to month lease). http://touchngo.com/lglcntr/akstats/Statutes/Title34/Chapter03/Section290.htm Although you have lived there for 3...

Attached in information that covers landlord/tenant repairs in the state of Missouri: http://ago.mo.gov/publications/landlordtenant.pdf You must be careful that you follow what is required by law in terms of what to do if a landlord does not make timely repairs. Failure to do so could...

It is likely the only way the landlord will pay double the amount is if they are required to do so by the court. Do you wish to file a lawsuit against the landlord or simply use the threat of one to get your original deposit (plus interest) returned to you? Gail

We would know what your landlord insurance policy covers? Sorry; we don't. Have you discussed this with them? Gail

It's not unusual that a landlord/management requires a certain salary to be eligible for a rental unit. This is typically 2 1/2 to 3 times the rent. The are no "legal loopholes" to get around this unless the complex agrees to waive this. Gail

If you believe the unit is truly vacant, focus on getting it rerented. Once this occurs, you can consider suing the former tenant for the back rent, the bounced check and for the remaining months it took you to find another tenant. However, in order to do that, you need to know his new...

Certainly. No one here can predict if the court will grant your request though. Gail

There is the concept of "due diligence", i.e., tenants are expected to report potential repair issues even if they did not deliberately cause these themselves. For example, they may not cause a leak under a kitchen sink when a pipe becomes lose or develops a hole; i.e., they didn't hit the...

Your tenants noticed a leak and did not report it. They were negligent in failing to do this and thus are responsible for the damage their negligence caused. I'm not sure why tenants don't notify landlords early on about such things. They may fear that they will be blamed for the initial...

What the easiest way to make this thing go away? If it were me, I'd pay it. In the future it is always good to let the landlord know if one is going to be late paying the rent. As a landlord, I am much more willing to work with a tenant who contacts me and presents me with a plan to make...

Have you contacted local law enforcement (and can you show documentation that you are one of the owners)? If they refuse to help, you begin the process of eviction... http://www.dca.state.ga.us/housing/housingdevelopment/programs/downloads/landlord/evictdisposs.html Sometimes even the...

A landlord can put whatever they want in a lease. If it goes against state (or federal) laws, it cannot be enforced. Typically the court will assign attorney fees to the losing party in a judgement. Gail

You do realize that you are a landlord in a state that is extremely tenant friendly. Make certain you document EVERYTHING and keep a copy for yourself. Frankly, I'd send them a certified letter. Gail

You've already received advice from an attorney. Go with what that person has told you. Make certain you show up for the court dates. Gail

A landlord cannot evict anyone. Only a court can grant an actual eviction. What your landlord may do is file for such. You will then receive notice of a court hearing. Answer it and make certain you attend this hearing. You will then be able to present your side to the judge who will...

File now. Your friend has no intention of paying back this loan; a legal "nudge" might get him to rethink this. Gail

Why can't I deposit the rent? Because the implication then becomes that you accept this amount for rent. Inform them in writing that they have failed to provide the correct amount of rent and if this is not remedied, the eviction process will begin. Gail
