Since justification for carpet replacement costs often involve the inclusion of receipts, the value is placed on the current replacement costs (minus depreciation for age). It is unlikely that the landlord has the receipts on what the original carpet cost. In addition, installation is often...

Your stepfather needs to understand that New Jersey is a very tenant friendly state; one of the most tenant friendly states in the entire country. New Jersey only allows very specific reasons to evict a tenant; they are outlined in the attached. Failure to pay rent is the most common one...

Your state laws on leases are covered under the Tennessee Uniform Residental Landlord and Tenant Act (see attached). Scroll down to the the section entitled Noncompliance by Tenant - Failure to Pay Rent section for the steps on how to evict them...

There is nothing that says you cannot write up an agreement between you and the person who owes you this money stating the amount will increase if their financial situation improves. Gail

A lease can be amended if ALL parties involved (the landlord/the tenants) agree to this. Agreement is typically documented by an addendum to the lease that, again, all parties sign/initial to signify that are aware of this change and agree to it. Gail

My suggestion (as jharris has suggested before); stop the emails. Send your former landlord what is sometimes known as a "demand" letter, disputing the amount of the security deposit that was kept, listing what you believe you are fairly owed and the date this should be received by you...

Frankly, I cannot imagine any judge granting emancipation to a 15 year old with twins. You cannot even get employment at 15 years of age. To request such would raise great concerns for the small children involved in this move. Gail

My point is that you are not getting any of this judgement paid back from the landlord now. The next logical step would be to file for this information. Will the landlord lie and say he doesn't have a bank account? Perhaps. However, he is less likely to the court than he would to you...

If you have a written lease it should list when rent is due and when it is late. That is what you follow as opposed to a verbal notice. I'm a bit confused though; your posting implies that your landlord discussed this change in the date rent was due and you agreed (at least verbally). Is...

What, specifically, are you asking about? Gail

It is important to remember that the final walk through is not the end all to a landlord finding damage above normal wear and tear in a rental unit. Often more damage is found after the tenant vacates. This is one reason why states typically give landlords a certain amount of time (and in...

This form seems pretty cut and dried. It is a notification to the court system that you wish another hearing in which the landlord must present information on his assets and property. The information you need to provide includes where the landlord lives so he can be served, the case number of...

Unfortunately a judge is not going to care a whit about your experiences with past bed partners. The courts focus will be on the appropriate and adequate financial support of the innocent party here; the child. In the courts eyes, the focus must be on the party least likely to be able to...

Advice about what? Gail

Yes; pretty much anyone can sue for anything. It's winning the lawsuit that can be tricky. Does your friend do any kind of criminal check before they agree to rent to someone? Gail

Massachusetts tends to be a very tenant friendly state. While many states allow the landlord to disagree with subletting, in this state a landlord cannot "unreasonably withhold" permission to do so. Your landlord may try to get around this by adding this fee to discourage subleasing. I...

Your fathers jaundice and abdominal swelling indicates liver, not kidney issues (with his pancreatitis does he have a history of alcohol abuse?). As these symptoms worsen, he will begin to become more confused as the ammonia levels in his blood increase. This will happen suddenly. At that...

1. Probably not since the lease termination was dependent on the landlord transfer by the previous employer, not by getting a new job. 2. Sure you can request this. However, Management can refuse to provide you this document. Gail

Mr. Roommate not only owes rent for October but the clock continues to run on him for November...and, as long as he doesn't sign off on the lease his financial obligation will continue until the lease ends. This is especially true since it appears you are "stuck" in terms of adding new...

Because we are only talking about the vehicle being off the "market" for just 24 hours, I think it would be a good idea for your son to consider a lawsuit against the seller. It would be one thing if the product (the car) had been off the market for several days or weeks but keeping $800 to...
