Can a landlord ask for another deposit after living at a rental for 6 years?

You need to go back and look at your original lease. Also, if you are on HUD have you renewed your lease annually? Why the new deposit? Where is the last deposit? Your contract is rock solid, read it over and seek legal aid advice, most larger cities have a free legal aid

I'm pretty sure that once you pay the security deposit the landlord should hold the apartment for you.  I do know that when you move out of the apartment you get your security deposit back if the apartment is in good shape with no damage incurred while you were renting.  If the landlord later says he or she is unhappy with your credit and decides not to rent to you they must return your deposit.

you can enter the apartment address into your local property tax website and get the owners name.  Or, contact your old landlord and see what the deal is.  To protect yourself you could put your rent money in an esscrow account and not touch it.  This shows your good faith, that you were setting aside the money, so they can't come back and say you were at fault. \n\nIt's strange the new owner hasn't contacted you.

I work in rental property and we only charge a security deposit once upon moving in.  You need to read your lease FULLY.  There should be a clause about your deposit, but under normal conditions you should'nt be charged when renewing.

what your are referring to is what we call a tenancy at sufferance, in other words your lease ran out and you are still living there without having  signed another  lease, now if your land lord did not have papers served on you to vacate after the  lease ended and was only telling you to leave, but,did not go about any proper eviction process then you have what is called in real estate a adverse possession and it will be hard for the land lord to prove that you were not paying your rent because you have been there at such an extended time after a legal contract expired. one would wonder why he let you live there that long without collecting rent, i would say he would loose in court, if it is his word against your word only.

It all depends on what our lease says about it.\nIf the lease says 60 day notice, then that is what it is.\nIf it says only 30 days, then that is what it is.\n\nYour landlord sounds like a jerk. You are giving 6 weeks notice.\nIf he is violating the terms of the lease, then yes you can sue him but it is not worth the hassle.\nLandlords really have tenants by the b8lls.\nI would say OK then I am giving 60 days notice, then not pay the rent when it becomes due for July.\nGive him rent up until July 1 and not a penny more.

You must research your state's landlord tenant laws. Look for it on Findlaw.com some states require deposits be set up in an interest bearing account. At the time the tenant turns domicile over, all monies minus damages except natural wear and tear must be rendered in thirty days. But there is also a federal landlord tenant act.

If you are on month to month tenancy, the landlord gives proper notice of non-renewal.  I can't say if you got proper notice, and it may be that the argument led to the action, but you might have a hard time proving that was the cause of the non-renewal.

Read the terms of the Tenancy Agreement, it usually states the minimum period in writing for giving up the lease.If notice is given timeously , you won't have to pay for the full 6 months, but it depends on the contract terms.\nAs for the deposit , again it depends on the wording of the contract, but usually it's refundable unless it's retained to cover the cost of any damage to the property.

He cant prove it was you then.\nIf he sues he will have to sue all tenants at the time. Also if there was a deposit he can take the deposit but chances are the lawsuit will get thrown out of court.\n\nLook specifically in your contract to see if he retains any rights to file legal claims against you after the fact (some people have tricky contracts they write up) If not, then I wouldnt worry too much. Now im not a lawyer, nor do I play one on tv so this is solely my opinion.\n\nI would suggest telling him to shove it up his a**

You are not facing eviction. \nYou have been given reasonable time and told the tenancy is no longer available for renewal. \nWithout a tenancy agreement you cannot do anything. \nAsk for the request to be put in writing and start looking for somewhere else - sorry.

I don't believe you can.  Either way you are liable for the rent till the end of the contract or get someone to sublet your place, if it is allowed.\nYour company might be willing to pay for this if they are the ones asking you to move.  Most do.\nRead what your rental contract says.  It should all be there.

In California, the maximum deposit a landlord may charge is 2 months rent for an unfurnished rental unit

The laws are different between states. Look up that state's department of consumer affairs. Also NOLO has some good resources. Links below.\n\nYou don't need to consult a lawyer, it will cost you more. In general, figure out what your rights are (specific sections of the state code) and threaten the landlord, citing the code. Inform them in writing that you'll take them to the small claims court if they don't comply. If they doesn't respond (there may be time limits as to how long they can keep your deposit before returning it), be prepared to follow through with your promise.\n\nAlso, next time make sure that you get two little papers before checking in and out -- they should be inspection-like sheets with damages stated on them (and make sure you review them thoroughly and agree). CA requires landlords to provide them in a very timely manner -- usually you get the move-in when you sign the lease, and move-out before you move out, and if the landlord doesn't provide it, the law is on your side. It may be a little different for shorter stays, I don't know for sure, but this paper would save you every time in the eyes of the law.

as long as you lease and usually 30 days after you move out.  They will have to inspect, clean, and deduct all that from the deposit (if any) before they give it to you.

Whatever your contract says is what the landlord has to go by. It's a legal document and he can't just change it whenever he wants. If the contract is for a year, then he can legally charge you for every month the unit sits empty after you vacate. If you are on a month to month basis, then he is only entitled to your deposit. \nIf there are problems with the apartment that weren't disclosed to you then you may be able to get out of the contract all together. It depends on what it is though. Or if he refuses to fix something.....you have a right to live in an apartment free of defects as long as your paying rent......\nGood Luck !!!!!

yes.  even though its an implied lease, its still a contract, and the only way you can break a contract is through mutual consent.  the rules vary state by state, you might or might not get charged penalty fees or get your security deposit witheld for giving 30 days notice, in some states it is enough, in some states, its 2 months.  in some states, 15 days is enough.  so it really does vary.  i'd try and be nice to your landlord first, and ask if she could let you off the hook before you ask for the 30 days.  if you've been a good tenant long enough, she/he might be nice in exchange.  landlords are people too, you know.
