I own the condo where I live, and rent out one room...?

Yes you must declare the income, but you can also deduct any expenses related to renting, plus anything you pay to maintain the property.  You mentioned utilities and yes you can deduct half of those easily; and the best part is you can deduct a depreciation schedule on the condo.  But for that you need a CPA or accountant.

Recently sold my No. VA condo.  There was much paperwork but nothing that related to an occupancy lapse. It really does not make sense - you have paid for the property and are entitled to occupy it.  I would not buy a property from someone who denied me occupancy after settlement.  Of course there may be a rent back from new owner to the old owner, but this is discussed, agreed upon and incorporated into the Purchase Contract well before settlement. Call a Realtor in the area you are interested in - they are knowledgable (by law/license) and usually very eager to talk.

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.

I don't think you have much recourse on this.  Check your lease.

Its a very simple solution but 99.99% of people never take the time to do this. I was in the military for 20+yrs, Learned the hard way ounce and paid for it.\n\nGet a cheap camera and take pictures of the place before you move or as your moving in. Heck, nowdays they have video cams that are even better, a photo or video is worth more than a thousand words! This will help or hurt cause the proof is in the photos, where there is or not damages.\n\nOften cigarette burns on the carpet, stains, rutcuts into the carpet in the bedroom from wear and tear. Water damage under the sink from previous situatuion can be documented as not yours, ceilen damage spots or even holes on the walls that have been patched. Established urine stains from previous animals(cats or dogs) even where the apts doesn't allow animals.\n\nRemember that most places have good will but the bottom line is the cost to refurbish the apt for the next renter, so clean before you move out, that's always a plus, even have the manager come inspect before the move. They might be able to say this and that needs to be done or we have to pay to have it done and will go againist your deposit. \n\nI have 15 houses that I rent on long term leases and I do that to each unit, and have made it a point to record and save till the next move, then record after they move incase we have to discuss less than the deposit. I always evaluate the house, did they even try to clean, is the rubish out, the bathroom cleaned, kitchen stove,frigerater cleaned. Remember someone has to do the clean and make ready and obviously be paid for it, so it comes from your deposit. Most will deduct 30% of deposit just cause for wear and tear and expected cost to clean, alot will return all if no damages but the unit is left clean and can get rented with few problems.\n\nAsk yourself, would you move into the apt ~~right now as is, and if your answer is no, then take time to make it so. I'm not talking about painting the walls and shampoo the carpet, just simple cleaning can go a long ways. I'm a land lord of sorts and after you leave I'm almost sure never to see you again so why such I listen to you, I'll take your deposit without regard when I open the door and see trash and whatever, you didn't even vacum or take the trash out. Might be nice for you to at least wipe the glass windows if you have the time, effort brings about good will.\n\nMost all cities have departments to deal with renter disputes, maybe the local BBB has it, most places need your good word of mouth  to keep going. I have a waiting list for my houses, never empty for 15 days, that's what it takes me to prepare for the next renter, my video cam at the ready. I have even made copies for the new renter if they request it(hahahhaha) its a great practice for both. I want you to rent from me again if you decide to come back one day, I will remember the trash and crap you left behind.\n\nThose verticle blinds, hardly an issue of cost but just think of the piture of them, it could have establish its worth of condition on move in day. If in disbute could warrent the deteration from common use due to where they were and how often they were walked through, heck you might of been able to replace them with some from Walmart and saved you alot of monies?\n\nGolden rule : Photos,,,photos,,,photos,,, and even better is a video cam of the apartment condition on move in day!

What you need to do is to talk to the apartment manager and describe your situation. See if you can pay partial rent and a late fee and hold off for a couple of weeks until you get back on your feet. You must keep the lines of communication open and show what you are doing to resolve this issue that you have caused. I, personally, would have done this before the rent was due.\n\nHowever, if you can't bounce back, see if the manager will allow you to sublet the apartment. Also, If you could find a qualified tennant to fill your apartment while you rent a room from someone else, maybe the apartment manager will not evict you and let you break the lease. \n\nAfter all is said and done, you are responsible for your own situation and problems. Your loss of emplyment and the status of transportation are only factors in your life, they do not relieve you of your responsibility (unless you're a democrat or a liberal, but that's another story). After all, I can't call up my bank and say "Yeah, I can't pay my mortgage on my apartment building this month because this tennant in unit #211 made some poor choices in her life. Yeah, she bought a Ford." I jest, but I hope you understand what I am saying.\n\nRegards...

You have the right to what's called "quiet enjoyment" of the home you've rented, and its up to the landlord to ensure that you get it.  This can be a very difficult situation, in that this can be difficult to prove.  Suggest you talk with a renters rights organization in your area.

It depends on where you are looking.  In California they are referred to as "Tenants in Common" or TIC's.  Usually it's something like a 4-plex that has been divided into 4 separate units.  It's not a condo conversion.  They are called other things in other states--maybe you are thinking of a timeshare?

You'll have to go by whatever you agreed to in your lease.  Your only other option is to try to talk to the landlord to see if they are willing to make any concessions.  Good luck.

Check your CC&Rs (Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions) which sets out the rules for condo residents.  It should set out specifically what consequences there may be for unpaid fees to the HOA.  But I agree, why don't you just pay it?

Ask the apartment complex owner for a copy-by law they have to give you one.  And you should have gotten one when you signed up for the apartment-if you didn't you are not responible for paying such a fee-if you didn't get one anyways

Not if it is not mentioned in your lease and you are current on your rent.

It depends on your lease agreement...you should have a copy.
