Your freeloader is legally a tenant, as in she has the same rights as a tenant. You, having power of attorney, are basically like the landlord, meaning you can enter the home WITH proper notice (24 hours). Obviously she is going to need to be evicted through the courts, because, I doubt she...

It is not your responsibility to worry about them getting paid by the previous owner. If the previous owner shorted them, they have to go after that person for the rest, and have no right to hold your money until the previous owner pays up. With the evidence you have, you would have a good...

The apartment is not uninhabitable due to the smell of smoke if California law doesn't say it is. I guess you could argue that it falls under it not being fit for humans due to it not being healthy to live there if you can get a doctor to testify that you are "allergic" to the smell of smoke...

Never believe anything until you have it in writing. May be best to seek consultation from a local attorney, which sometimes you can find fairly cheap or free.

Did you agree with the landlord that you would not be returning, or breaking the lease? Or, did he just decide to lock you out?

I don't think the you have a case for the smoking, however, I think the issue with the being locked out could be a case. Unless of course, you moved all of your belonging out, thus leaving the property abandoned? If that is the case, again you have screwed yourself by breaking the lease.

You would be screwed if you broke the lease and he sued you, until he illegally "evicted" you by locking you out. Your best bet in this case is to speak to a lawyer in your area. You will find yourself in court for this, especially if you want any o the money back that you paid for a place you...

Lets say you own two properties next door to one another, and the person from home B breaks a car window of the tenant of home A due to a rock that was kicked up by the mower. Would you go to the neighbor for recovery of damages, or the owner (landlord) of the property? You would go to the...

Take Army's advice. Sorry for being wrong on this one.

The landlord has the right to raise the rent with 30 days written notice.

Here is a site with a lot of info for your state. http://www.federalrealestate.net/laws/arstatelaw.html You need to read your lease and see what the provisions are for renewing and terminating. That is where your answers shall be.

You can terminate a month to month agreement in your state with a 30-day written notice. This is best delivered via certified mail with return receipt.

No. After the term of the lease expires, you are considered to be a month to month tenant. The landlords rules from the lease still apply, unless your state laws say something different. Also you can terminate the month to month tenancy at any time with a 30 day notice written.

The tenant that is complaining probably did the same thing that you should do, which is a google search for the sex offender registry in your county(as Gail suggested). Being I have two young girls, I did the same before moving to our neighborhood. The tenant probably did it out of curiosity...

The home owner will pay for it.

There is no way to be sure what his chances are. In court, he needs to concentrate on why it is in the child's best interest to live with him, and not why it is not in her best interest that she live with the mother. If he focuses on why she shouldn't live with the mother more than why she...

Yes, the other issues and still covered by the previous order, and the new order cancels out what the other says about visitation.

I believe his ship has sailed on the increase for August. Technically the voice mail does not work, because he can not prove in court that you listened to it, should you deny it. Although I would call him and ask how things are going with the loan, he doesn't need to know you got the voice...

The landlord can change the rent with 30 days notice in writing. Send a letter again, requesting the repairs within two weeks of the letter, and state that after two weeks you will remedy the problem, and deduct the cost from rent. The landlord didn't do anything wrong by asking you to put...

If he is renting, he should send written notice to the landlord requesting the repair. He should ask that it be repaired in a reasonable time, such as 30 days. If the landlord does not address the issue, he could pay to have it fixed and deduct the cost from rent. Again, that is after the...
