SIGNED LEASE BEFORE VIEWING PROPERTY & DON'T WANT TO MOVE IN AFTER VIEWING
If the unit is relisted it would appear that the landlord is making the appropriate legal response to finding a suitable replacement for you. You will not get a response from the landlord until a replacement has been found.- Gail in Georgia

Landlord exceeded 2 mo rent for security deposit
Landlord didn't "force" you to take this option. While a landlord in Virginia cannot do this from the attached there appears to be no option such as terminating a lease because of this. Can you sue? Sure. It's winning that's going to be difficult. You would do better to focus on a Warranty...- Gail in Georgia

Question on filing fee
The other option is that the landlord simply refuses to accept your late rent and late fee, returns these to you and continues with the eviction process.- Gail in Georgia

Landlord overcharging on move out charges – expenses
Haven't posted here in a while but the issue of tenants disputing claims of "damages" charged to them after move out is pretty common on a FB site I moderate. My standard answer is to write what is known as a "demand" letter, disputing those charges you believe you do not owe and "demanding"...- Gail in Georgia

Eviction notice
If you cannot bring yourself to work toward a restraining order against your daughter hire an attorney familiar with the steps to evict someone in your state and be done with her. Then contact Child Protective Services and discuss how poorly she cares for her children (it would appear that you...- Gail in Georgia

Landlord not returning security deposit and asking to cover extra cost
A good argument might be that the wear and tear on a rental where a tenant resided for almost six years is going to be different (perhaps more significant) than from a tenant who only resided there for, say, one year. Whether this is wear and tear or damage would be up to a court to decide.- Gail in Georgia

Landlord not returning security deposit and asking to cover extra cost
Make certain that this attorney is familiar with landlord/tenant law in your state. Not all attorneys are aware of the laws. One issue to point out. Folks often throw out the idea that the useful life of a carpet in a rental unit is 5-7 years; appliances 5 years, etc.. This comes from IRS...- Gail in Georgia

Landlord not returning security deposit and asking to cover extra cost
Some of this is inaccurate; some may be justified. A fair number of landlords have become so burned by how tenants destroy appliances that, while they may provide them they note they are not responsible for damage done during the tenancy (and addressing repairs is the responsibility of the...- Gail in Georgia

Landlord refusing HVAC duct cleaning after a dead mouse
Someone I know lives in what is probably the worst trailer park in the area. It's an easy place for drug users as all the drug sellers likely live next door to them. At any rate management (and others) complained about all the cats in the area. People would move and leave cats behind and...- Gail in Georgia

OREGON - 8 year Tenant - Moving Out Questions
It's often suggested that a tenant take plenty of pictures at move out to document the condition of the rental property. You may never need them but they would be good evidence should you later find management keeps a significant part of any deposit you provided (or charges you more than your...- Gail in Georgia

Dog Urine Daily
Very briefly looking up the ordinance in Miami the number of dogs depends on the acreage of the property. Under 1 acre is limited to 4 dogs. Size of the dogs is not discussed in the ordinance. I once had a "feist" that weighed under 5 pounds. I swear that thing produced 10 pounds of urine...- Gail in Georgia

Dog Urine Daily
Yes; I would call Animal Control again and explain that the dogs are back. It is not unusual that hoarders will move animals claiming they have taken care of the situation when in truth they are only hiding them. If Animal Control shows up again they may end up removing the dogs.- Gail in Georgia

So Quick To Evict - NH
I do Billpay for many of my bills. Just make certain you review the estimated time the payment will reach the creditor. Lately my bank (Wells Fargo) has posted that the payments are taking longer than 5 days to reach creditors so I am setting the release dates of the funds earlier than usual.- Gail in Georgia

So Quick To Evict - NH
Your landlords statement for the demand for rent and notice to quit is typically the FIRST step toward and eviction. All landlords need to provide their tenants with some type of notice (often called a Pay or Quit notice) which, if ignored, will continue to an actual filing for an eviction...- Gail in Georgia

Can I end a rental agreement and then renew without my roommate?
"With my dad as a cosigner, is it possible for me to end the rental agreement (my roommate doesn't qualify on her own) and reapply without her?" You have the right to terminate YOUR month to month lease and move out. You do not have the right to terminate hers simply because your father...- Gail in Georgia

So scare and worried
"I asked a week ago when I got sick and knew I could not work if I could use one security deposit for the rent and she said no. Now she says yes but still wants me out."
