From your email, the charges on your security deposit (the blinds and the stove and cabinet cleaning) have nothing to do with the age of the house. And you don't get to discuss with the landlord what the cost of the replacement blinds "should" be. If you disagree with what was kept from your...

Then it sounds like it should be a fairly easy mistake to get straightened out with management.

Interestingly, Pennsylvania is a state where the landlord isn't required to mitigate his losses in regards to this matter. It would be best for the tenant to begin looking for a replacement tenant instead of attempting to find a loophole to get out of his lease. Gail

Sounds like it's time to meet with "them" face to face to straighten this out. Gail

If your win your judgement...and your deadbeat tenant is employed, you may wish to review wage garnishment: http://www.bcsalliance.com/y_debt_statelaws_garnishments.html Gail

Yes. Whatever took place with the other resident(s) and your grandmothers youngest son sounds significant enough to warrant not one but three letters written out of concern for the safety of these other residents. Typically housing authority properties have yearly leases just like private...

Betty3 has provided you with an excellent resource regarding your rights as a tenant in Texas regarding repairs that a landlord has failed to address. READ IT! While all states offer some option for a tenant regarding this matter, not all states allow a tenant to withhold rent...and even...

If your landlord files for an eviction, he/she will likely (and should) file in both your names since both your names are on the lease. This means that an eviction will eventually end up on your credit history. Unless your landlord has released you from the lease, you remain responsible for...

It's important for the OP to understand that in the absence of a written lease mom (not the OP or her son) has a month to month tenancy with the landlord. Such tenancies can typically be ended with the appropriate written notice (generally a 30 day written notice, although in some...

Again, what's the reason for these clogs? If the tenants have flushed something down the toilet that's more than the usual "bodily fluids" (i.e., sanitary napkins, childrens toys, cooking grease) the cost of unclogging is on them. If the toilet clog is due to, say, tree roots growing into...

And you know this is black mold....how? Gail

"Last night I came home and was intoxicated. I thought that my door was locked so I kicked it in. It turned out that that was my neighbors door so I left and went to my place which was unlocked. The cops were called but I was in my place asleep. My landlord called me today and asked me if I knew...

On another forum, I asked if you were late on your rent and if you had a history of nuisance notices against you. You did not answer these questions and appear to prefer focusing on the very minor issue of name misspelling. This leads ones to consider that what the landlord is claiming is...

"I actually did not find out about this until late November and had never opened the letter she had first sent in August because they send a lot of letters that are annoying and I just usually disregard them" Well, you've just learned the value of not disregarding mail sent from your...

It's useful to remember that Georgia tends to be a landlord friendly state. Your choices....it sounds as if you have received the notice that a dispossessory has been filed against you, correct? If so, you have 7 days to respond to the court disputing this. If you don't respond, the...

What, exactly, does "paying rent in general" indicate? It would appear from your posting that you're being told to leave due to failure to pay rent. Keep in mind that in a commercial rental situation (which yours would appear to be as your initial purpose was to rent a music practice studio...

What sort of deal would you like to work out with the landlord? Gail

Nothing if the landlord complied with this statute. The issue often revolves around landlords not returning the security deposit (or information regarding such) within the required time period for their state....OR withholding funds from such for what they claim are damages above normal wear...

It would benefit the OP to review their options in the state of Missouri regarding addressing the issue of repairs that the landlord has not responded to WHEN APPOPRIATE STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN by the tenant to notify the landlord of such. The steps are important as they are the tenants evidence...
