What is the name of your state?New York
I rented an apartment to two people on June 1st. Firstly, their security deposit bounced. They came over and paid it, stating that there was a mix up at the bank with their account. Soon after I found they had used an extention cord to steal electricity from the basement. They apologize and stated that there was difficulty in getting switched on. July 1st they paid. In August I accepted another check which bounced, they claimed there was another problem at the bank. They paid later on August 19th. A week ago i found out that they were doing other people's laundry, using my gas and water (laundry services is not part of their lease), so I closed the wash room and told them, they could only use it under supervision). They refused. They wrote to let me know they would hold $100 of rent until they have the laundry room back. They have two unregistered stationary cars stuck in my driveway now for three month, and have refused to move them. I was told that the zoning laws do not allow unregistered cars on the property and that I could face a fine.
Do you think there is anything here which constitutes a break in the lease. Please advise. Thank you.
