If there is a lease agreement, the parties must follow the lease for this issue.  If the agreement is a month-to-month lease, the landlord can generally modify the terms suchs as raising the renting by giving 30-days notice.

no, you can however, fix the air unit yourself (hire someone to fix it) and ask the landlord to reimburse you. if he doesnt, you could deduct the cost from the rent and attach a copy of the receipt where you ahd it repaired along with your payment for rent that month, and a letter explaining the details of this matter and why you are deducting the repairs cost from rent.\n\nhopefully, the landlord will pay for the repairs right away.\nhope this works out for you!

It will probably be a seperate bill. You should ask the landlord.

If you have a good rental history with your landlord he may be willing to cut you some slack.  \n\nTell your landlord the truth and make arrangements to pay in installments every week.

If you leave before your lease is up they can make you pay until the end of the lease date or settle for some lease-breakage fee.  You may be able to negotiate to pay until they find someone to take over your lease.\n\nIf they sell the property then you'd have to pay the new owners as of the date of the sale.

That really depends on the law in your area, but in general, yes ...\nespecially if the security is based solely on the amount of the rent.\n\nold rent 500 / old security 500\nnew rent 525 / new security 525

i am not sure but i think there is a department of housing  somewhere in riverside county. i would contact them as soon as possible. if your lease states that you are the sole renters of the property i not think he can. but if you aren't on a lease and are just renting month to month there could be a problem. best of luck. in the end the homeowner may just be building you another room that you get to use instead.

If you paid part of the bill then you should be fine. You need to call the office & let them know when you can have the rest of the payment & go from there. Just hope you're not in a cold climate.

Depends on your lease agreement. I would contact the housing authority for advise. They have a website  I beleive. G/L!

Check on rental rates for similar properties in your area and use those to help you determine what is a reasonable rate to charge.  Usually the deposit is paid when the lease is signed and in my experience it is a full month's rent (in addition to the first month's rental payment), although I suppose you could charge whatever you wanted for it.

That depends on the landlord. I am section 8. some require a months FULL rent (nor prorated), some require different..I KNOW it stinks. However, section 8 has no control over the deposit..they only deal with rent. The deposit is for clening, damages,etc. Some landlords will let them pay it out in installments. She needs to look until she can find someone who has a cheap deposit..(if that's possible).  My rent here is 350.00 (I pay 121.00) My deposit was 200.00 so it varies

Unfortunately not. But you can claim all sorts of things, including expenses relating to maintaining and upkeep of the home based on the same portion or percentage of your home that you use for business (office, and a washroom, living room for presentations, etc.) Here in Canada we can base that on how many rooms in the home we use for business or the actual floor space. It might be 4 rooms out of 8, which would be 1/2 and allow us to claim 1/4 of the homes heat, maintenance and mortgage or rent. \n\nThere's some good relevant Tax Reduction information out there - folks who keep up with the current laws that can help you out a lot just by researching their stuff.

No! not unless it states in your lease "tenant may use security deposit for last month's rent"..but usually it will state that you can't use it for rent...other wise the landlord must return your deposit at the end of your agreement less damages (excluding normal wear and tear)

they might rent to you, but ask a bigger deposit from you

speak to the landlord to see if the lease can be modified

Depends on were you live...in the states that dont require it many landlords do so that they can ask more for rent.

If there is a local rent leveling ordinance then that would control.  Usually though, if it is a single family house and sometimes up to 4-family, it would not fall under rent controls.  Then the landlord could raise the rent to whatever he wants.  It could be $500 one day and $2500 the next.\n\nI used to have apartment buildings in Jersey City and the rent leveling ordinance helped me to raise the rent if anything did. Sometimes I raised my rent every six months or sooner.
