Although I must say that it appears that soon half the country will have some type of "medical marijuana license" as justification for using this, would you feel the same if your ex was, say, a diabetic who required daily injections of insulin (thus having needles and syringes around the house)...

I can't imagine a place requiring a 6 month notice. If you're tired of the place, think it's too expensive, and you'd like to move, don't lock yourself into another lease. Your lease will still be valid until the end of August. It's also unlikely that you're going to find a place in...

You contact the tenant (written documentation is best since it provides you with future evidence) and inform them that their rent payment is inaccurate as it does not include the late fee. What does your lease say regarding late fees, i.e., it is late if received AFTER a certain date? Gail

Review your own lease to see if it allows such. If not, your tenant now owes you $300. Do not deposit the rent but rather inform them that this is an inaccurate amount; it's $300 short. Gail

Perhaps, although there was no law that said he must. Gail

Look; you need to focus on getting this stranger out of your unit first. Heaven knows what they may be doing to your rental unit. Have you checked this out? Gail

You can certainly ask your landlord for some type of compensation. Although it appears it was the fault of either 1. the repairman or 2. the company that ships these things. I keep some oil radiators around that I lend to my tenants in case of an emergency (which always seems to happen on a...

Why haven't you started the eviction process yet? It's a rather cut and dried job to do this in Georgia. You fill out the correct forms at the Clerk of Court office to be sent to the address on the rental unit. Gail

No; but your boyfriend is and really, just how far do you believe you will get with any of your arguments in a court of law? You have posted that you knew his background in terms of fidelity. So why should this surprise you? What promises has he made to you? Get any of this in writing...

"Do I have any grounds for a lawsuit for damages since I quit my job?" Did he put a gun to your head and force you to quit your job? I rather doubt it. So...what damages do you think you can claim? Gail

Time to start looking for a job if you truly believe this marriage isn't going to happen. Have you ever paid any rent? Discussed sharing the living expenses? Gotten any written documentation of such? If not, at the most one could argue you have a "tenancy at will" or are a month to month...

This would likely all depend on what type of past your current boyfriend has...and how a judge would view this, always keeping the safety of these children as the courts first concern. Gail

The fact that she has, in the past, providing rent to the boyfriend implies a "tenancy at will"; in other words, she is a "month to month tenant". I've attached the steps to end such a tenancy in New York (New York City may vary a bit)...

So...you're asking us for advice on how you can cheat an insurance company out of a debt that you yourself admit you owe? Bankruptcy can have some significant long term effects. For one, you can likely kiss your ability to get a loan to purchase a house goodbye from many lending agencies...

The landlord filed with their insurance company and it's the company that has determined you are a fault for these damages, not the landlord. Doesn't matter what the landlord told you in terms of you not owing anything. Gail

An eviction would take far longer than 10 days to occur. You could, if you wished, contact local Code Inspection. If your place is as bad as you say, they will likely condemn the place. Gail

Before you assume that your lease automatically rolls over to a month to month lease, review it. In addition, review what it might state in terms of requiring notification to the landlord that you intended to renew..or terminate..your current lease. Keep in mind that while an eviction can...

It would appear that your landlord has notified you of the status of your security deposit. Since you disagree with amount they are claiming for damages, you (as has been suggested) write a demand letter disputing the amounts you believe were unfairly held from your security deposit and...

What sort of legal action would you like to take? Attached is some legal information regarding (among other things) repair issues in the state of Oregon: http://www.tenant.net/Other_Areas/Oregon/land_ten.html Please keep in mind that the overflowing toilet is not necessarily an indication...

Yes; you could probably sue them for the one month of rent that you lost (in addition to the cost of the cancelled checks and legal fees for filing). But you need to think if this would be worth your time and trouble to do so. Even winning a judgement is no guarantee that you will ever see any...
