Hi, I need this question ASAP.
I am a section 8 tenant, who has been on the program for several years and have never had any problems. I moved into a house 4 months ago, and I have been getting harassed by my landlord every time I ask her about something. She got upset, cursed, screamed and hung up the phone when I asked her to exterminate the home. I finally had enough and I told her that I was ready to move out. She called me back and left a nasty message along with cursing on my voicemail.
I told my Section 8 worker about the problems, and she told me to come in and pick up a 60 day Notice to Vacate.
I went and got it, signed it and presented it to the landlord. She refused to sign it, and said she would like to talk about it and work it out. She asked me if I would talk with her the next day around 4:30 pm over the phone about it. I reluctantly agreed. The next day, she did not call. I did not call her, because I do not want to play games with her.
My question is: If my Section 8 Advisor knows about the harassment and I turn in the form signed by me to her, can I break the lease and move?
I do now want to live under this landlord anymore.
i was evicted at the end of Aug. 08 right before Katrine hit Louisiana and had to stay in the apartment 3 day in sept. can the landlord charge me rent for the entire month of Sept.
This occurred in Indianapolis, Indiana:
I had been communicating with my landlord that I would be moving. I had been there for five years and he communicated to me that I would need to be out by February. My landlord then obtained all of my possessions without notification. Then sold them stating that I abandoned the house.
The house was not abandoned in any way. My wife and I have a house that we live in. Then I still had the rental that I was trying to move the contents and had been communicating to him I was having trouble getting everything moved Due to the weather/truck issues.
In January I had to leave town. My wife was taking care of the house while I was away. My wife went there on the 7th of January to wait on the people we hired to move the contents and everything was fine. Due to heavy snowstorm the move was unable to be completed. When she went there on 22nd of the month everything was gone. I went by the house on the first of February and was devastated. My question would be what are my options on otaining restitution and what the time limit in which we would need to file this in court? Also is this criminal and due I need to file a police report?
My roommate is currently dating an ex whom i have an open Domestic Violence case on. We are in a lease that both tenants have to agree to move out. I do not feel safe at the apartment or have my child there. Can I break my lease without her agreeing if I do not feel safe in my home?
I need some help. Me, my husband, and our three-year-old daughter lived in an apartment for 3 years. When we moved in the carpet was kinda stained but for the most part it was a nice apartment. The previous tenants had a cat that clawed some of the carpet, and the carpet had not been installed properly. When we were getting ready to move I called our landlord, and asked if he would accept our security deposit as our las tmonths rent. He stated that he would have to take a look a the apartment and would let me know. About a week later he came by to check out the apartment. My sister-in-law wasthere and witneesed what took place. He looked around the apartment and stated that everything looked great, and that he was fine with taking our security deposit as last month’s rent while we were moving. We are all moved now, and two days ago recieved aletter stating that if we do not pay him for repairs we will e taken to small claims court for a total of $490, which is more than the security deposit was. He is saying that our carpet was dirty, and that it cost him $130 to have it cleaned. He also stated it was damaged. He then stated that he had to pay his girlfriend another $130 to clean it, the same apartment he had looked at and said was fine. He finally stated in the letter that we are being charged for damage to his furnace, because we turned off the gas and electric out of our name in the middle of Dec., it is now mid January. Thefurnacebroke while we lived in the apartment, and the reariman told us tht he needed to install a new one, because the repairs he mad were only temporary. The landlord at that time refused to buy a new furnace. We were never told that we had to keep utilities on in our name for the remainder of that month, and to me it seems rediculous he would think we would. How does one pay for two sets of bills, while moving into a new home? I need help, I need to know what I can do to make this guy leave us alone with his shameless appeals for money from us.
I co-signed on a rental back in the end of October for a friend of mine who needed help. She has since started to break the rules of the lease that we signed with the Landlord and I wondered what rights I have as co-signer to make her uphold her end of the lease? and if she does not co-operate by her breaking the lease does that still become my problem?
My husband and I bought the above speck home in 2004 in Dec of 08 our leach field failed we have had to replace the leach field but have since found out that we have loss over half the value of or home or more. We also have a detailed report from the former Yuba County director of environmental health which states that law after law was broken when building this home we are in need of some one to represent our claim for damages. I am unsure what the statue of limitations is for this type of damage I hope that it is not a year as we are approaching that date. Thank you
If I was occupying a commercial building and paying rent but was verbally told that I would not get a lease, then locked out with personal cash and possessions in the building. How can I file a suit with no money. It’s been 6 months and the landlord sold the possessions.
I signed a one year lease on a rental property in Dona Ana County, New Mexico. Two roommates have not upheld their financial obligation, and I can no longer afford to live here. There isn’t any clause in the lease about early termination. What can they legally hold me liable for if there is nothing in the lease to state the consequences of early termination? Thank you for your time!
If you co-signed on an apartment, the lease is up, you provided 30 day notice to end the lease, but the other person chooses to stay, what is the legal obligations that the apartment manager must follow in regards to transferring the lease and the deposit that was placed on the apartment? Does the co-signer have any rights to the deposit?
