Landlord will NOT let me view new handicapped shower to possibly be installed.
If this is federally-assisted housing, then the housing provider is required to pay the costs for "reasonable" modifications. Otherwise the housing provider must permit reasonable disability-related modifications at the tenant's expense. For more information see the HUD/DOJ Joint Statement on...- DeenaCA

Section 8 tenant refuses to pay her portion of the rent
The regulations for the housing choice voucher ("Section 8") program require the housing authority to terminate assistance if the tenant is evicted for cause, and permit termination for serious or repeated lease violations. See 24 Code of Federal Regulations 982.552. The tenant has violated her...- DeenaCA

Landlords demand tenants quit smoking or lease will not be renewed notice
It's true that the smoke-free rule for "conventional public housing" went into effect on July 31. That rule does not apply to HUD Multifamily housing, which is privately-owned rather than owned by the public housing agency. If i looked up the correct Zion Way Apartments, it's HUD Multifamily...- DeenaCA

Landlords demand tenants quit smoking or lease will not be renewed notice
Have you asked the property managers whether the smoking ban applies to off-property smoking? Perhaps the notice was poorly worded. If this is the Zion Way development in Richfield, it's a low-income property subsidized by low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC) and HUD Multifamily funding...- DeenaCA

BONA FIDE TENANT
The PTFA protects renters whose tenancies were in effect as of the date of transfer of title at foreclosure. Here is an article about the reinstatement. Congress did not write a new version of the law; they simply repealed the sunset provision of the PTFA. Here's the new law. Here's the text...- DeenaCA

Bedbug Issue
You said that this is an apartment, right? In a multi-unit property the landlord is usually responsible for the cost of bed bug treatment. It's difficult to assign responsibility to tenants (even if there were no bed bugs at move-in) because bed bugs can migrate between units and can "hibernate"...- DeenaCA

BONA FIDE TENANT
Home buyers are usually bound by the terms of existing lease agreements. There's also a federal law protecting tenants in foreclosed properties, as cited in post #16. We don't know whether the OP is protected under the law from the information given.- DeenaCA

BONA FIDE TENANT
While the PTFA expired in December 2014, Congress reinstated it in May 2018. Here's an informative article. During the PTFA's original run, foreclosing lenders sometimes (often) stonewalled tenant attempts to pay rent and then attempted to evict for nonpayment. This one of the top violations...- DeenaCA

Lease renewal
The OP stated that he did request an adjustment in the due date for rent payments. He also stated that his disability is known to the management company and that the accommodation has been approved in the past. This is one of the examples of a reasonable accommodation listed on the FHEO website...- DeenaCA

landlord's right to terminate lease
The rules for the housing choice voucher program ("Section 8") do permit the landlord to terminate tenancy without cause at the end of the lease term. However, some states and/or cities restrict no-cause terminations and those laws would prevail if applicable. The tenant's failure to pay for...- DeenaCA

Screening New Tenants...
I agree that requiring employment could be found to be discriminatory against elderly and disabled applicants. Take a look at the fair housing guidelines brochure from the PA Association of Realtors. It does appear that a PA housing provider may legally require a minimum gross income for renting...- DeenaCA

I have a yearly lease agreement, but my landlord want to end it with a 60 days notice. What should I do?
Are you renting an entire dwelling unit or just a portion of a unit? If you are renting the entire unit, NJ law strictly limits the landlord's right to terminate tenancy. Here's an article describing good cause for termination. Here's a directory of legal aid services by city. The law does not...- DeenaCA

Rent Increase & Code Enforcement
Sounds like an illegal/unpermitted/"nonconforming" unit. Where is the unit located? The LL may be liable for hefty relocation benefits and/or refund of rents paid. This is not covered under CA LL-tenant law but the larger SoCal cities have ordinances. If you don't mind revealing the location I...- DeenaCA
