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

Absolutely!!  You can either live on one side and have tenants live on the other side who basically pay your mortgage via their rent.  Or, if you are not going to live there, one half pays the mortgage, and the other have is positive income.  On top of that, house values go up basically every year.  So yes try to invest in MANY multi units, you will get very wealthy!

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.

Yes.  They often get a commission from the people who own apartments.  Look in the phone book under Rental Properties.

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

He can install equipment to moniter each of the tenaents usage.  But it will cost him money.  You can complain to your local housing authority

In general there are no regulations regarding prices that people charge for services. The price is set by the market.

The 30$ fee is not required, it's bogus. You aren't going to get the lease.\nLook somewhere else.

For a primary residence no.\n\nOn rental properties this may differ.

Unfortunately, I think it is legal; my apartment complex does the same. I think it has something to do with the property owner's business choices superceding your choices, since ultimately you can choose not to live there, you know?\n\nI think it's retarded and I hate it too.

There will be specific provision in your rental agreement covering this. \n\nBasically under a contract you can only vary it with either the agreement of both parties or specific provision in the Agreement.  \n\nCheck for wording like "break clause"; "termination" and the like.  There is likely to be a payment equal to a few months if you break early.\n\nGood luck.

read your contract, since you are obviously renting the space where your home sits then there must be a contract you signed, and if it states that no additional people are permitted to live in the domicile then that is how it is, you can't just go against something you have signed. However, if it is not mentioned, then they have no right to do anything to you. It's time to do some reading.

You need to understand that not all kinds of discrimination are illegal.  In the real world, people get turned down for things all the time (which is a form of discrimination) based on lack of creditworhiness, ownership of collateral, good references, or any one of a thousand other legal reasons.  Illegal discrimination is discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, sex, age, handicap, etc. I would not think that requiring a deposit from you under these circumstances would constitute discrimination unless you suspect that the real reason for the requirement is your race, religion, national origin or any other suspect classification.  Many businesses, including landlords, offer incentives as part of a sales pitch, but there's almost always some fine print that says you have to qualify to get the incentive.  In your case, if your landlord's sales pitch was subject to his receipt of your rental or credit history (a very routine requirement), he had every right to change the offered terms if you don't meet the requirements.  Read your rental application very carefully (look at the fine print on the back) and see if there isn't some language that allows them to modify their requirements depending on your credit, rent history, references, etc.  On the other hand, if you have solid evidence that they are changing the rules because of your race, religion, etc., you may have a case.

The place I rent from (a leasing agency) says that "The income requirement is 3 times the monthly rent."\n\nAddition: I suppose you could put it that way, the monthly rent x36.  However, if you have proof that they make the three times your monthly rent each month anyway, that would meet your requirement all the same.  I wouldn't confuse renters.  They are used to three times the monthly rent, and it still meets your objectives.

That is not quite what the law says.\n\nIn actual fact it is that no more than three unrelated people are allowed to occupy one dwelling unit, regardless of the number of bedrooms, unless the landlord has a “Rooming House License.” \n\nSo people can live together, but only if the landlord has the correct kind of renting license.  Or, if the people are joint owners of the house and are not paying rent, they can also live together.

You have to follow the terms agreed to in your rental agreement.  Sorry there is not a better answer.
