" Gail, it doesn't logically make sense for the landlord to be able to track compliance this way. OP wants to pick up in person, which is fine, however, the other choice would be for landlord to mail it to OP, at landlords address, in anticipation of it being forwarded. I do not believe the post...

Your landlord is not required to provide you with your security deposit "in person". Thus, if they mail it to the old address and you have completed the required paperwork for an address change it should be forwarded to you. The date she is required to return it to you is determined by the...

More details are needed. When did you notice this, when did you notify management, when did they respond to your repair request, what options did they provide you regarding living arrangement during the repairs? Gail

A lease is a legally binding contract; it is not something along the lines of "well, just ignore this". While a landlord/management has an obligation to find a replacement tenant once the current one breaks the lease, you remain financially responsible for the rent until this can be done (or...

What type of lease do you currently have? Yearly? Monthly?

Massachusetts actually has something called "heating laws"; the requirements for a landlord are outlined in the attached: http://blog.werentboston.com/?p=24 These state that between September 16 and June 14 (wow; by June 14 we here in the south are sweltering!) a landlord must provide heat...

You might also discuss with your landlord you finding a suitable tenant to replace you. Gail

What you are doing currently is filing only for the dispossessory, not for payment of owed rent. This must be done separately. If this is granted, you're on your own to collect the judgement. The court will do nothing to help you with this. Both wage and bank garnishment are options in...

It would appear from your own posting that management has addressed this issue (i.e., blocking the entrances into your rental). You could request that management provide bait/traps (or you could purchase these products yourself; they are quite inexpensive), however, keep in mind that there...

Who is reponsible for getting the gas turned on? You or management? Gail

Your posting is very confusing. If you have a written lease, your landlord cannot simply kick you out. If you have breached this lease, their only option is to file for an eviction and the court will decide whether this request will be granted. However, if you do not have a written lease...

Your former tenants logic is, well, screwy. I'm sure every person who owes money to someone else would like to avoid being contacted to pay what they owe but that's not likely to happen. However, it sounds as if the former fiance is the one who is the most reliable on getting this debt...

Quite honestly, your complaining about the neighbors bugs that finally got something done about it likely drove those things into your rental unit. Insects are smart; in a duplex/apartment complex situation they typically travel from unit to unit unless ALL units are treated at the same time...

I'm going to assume that this owe rent is for past months and not for "future months" by breaking the lease, correct? If not, as mightymoose has stated, you have an obligation to make the attempt to rerent the unit. If this is for PAST owed rent and you wish to sue, these types of lawsuits...

The steps to evict someone typically start with what is known as a Pay or Quit notice, giving the tenant a certain amount of time to remedy the problem. How much time the tenant is provided depends on what state this is taking place in. How this notice must be provided is also dependent on the...

Does your lease specify the yard is included in the rental agreement? Gail

A judge is very likely to rule that yes, this person is a tenant and the proper steps are required to terminate what I'm going to assume is a month to month tenancy with this person. If you contact the police they are likely to respond that this is a civil, not criminal matter and will not...

As Army Judge has pointed out, you assume a great deal of risk doing this. You can ask the landlord to put everyone on the lease but there's little financial incentive for them to agree to this. The way things are set up now, you are doing their work and reaping little or no financial rewards...

Who told you there was a methane leak across the street from you? Gail

Your buddy would need to present this case in Circuit Court in Florida since the amount she is claiming you owe is over $15,000: http://www.flcourts.org/courts/circuit/cir_description.shtml She has nothing to prove that you two had any agreement regarding such payments. A judge is going...
