can a security deposit be designated by the tenant to be used for rent?

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)

yes.  you must always have your landlord's permission to sublet your apartment.  Thier property, thier rules

HELL NO!\n EVEN WHEN YOUR RENTING THEY HAVE TO GIVE AT LEAST 24 HRS NOTICE TO ENTER THE PREMISES UNLESS ITS AN EMERGENCY LIKE SOMETHING CAUSING WATER DAMAGE OR A POTETIAL IMMEDIATE FIRE HAZARD POT ON STOVE FOOD IN OVEN, OR A POLICE WARRANT.

Yes. It is all stipulated in the contract. Usually it is two months deposit, one month advance. \n\nThe deposit is applicable to the repairs that will be done to the unit you have rented and for utility bills that will be left behind when you go. The unused portion of your deposit should be returned to you maybe after one month of your leaving the place. Take pictures and read the contract if repainting is part of the deal.\n\nThe one month advance is applicable to the last month of your stay, and you should inform the landlord that you will apply this.\n\nPayment for rent is usually done after one month of your stay. All rental agreements are stipulated in the contract.\n\nMake sure you keep all receipts...

This is something that is negotiated between the owner and the one who is renting.  There is no standard form, and the agreement can be everything from verbal (as among family, friends for example) to written and even notarized.  www.findlaw.com is a rather good site for finding some more specifics, and from there you may find actual forms that could be used.

He cannot evict you for this. It is A LAW that all sex offenders and sexual predators must register with the police department where they live. This information is public record. Anyone can go online, pull up the sex offenders for their area, and see photos of the people in addition to an overview of their offense/s and their status. You have not broken any laws by discussing a matter of public record with anyone else, and you surely have not violated your lease agreement, either.\n\nHOWEVER - do you really want to continue renting from this man? It may be a possibility that he will attempt to make your life uncomfortable if he perceives you as a thorn in his side (even though HE is the one who did something VERY wrong). When you look at the big picture, you may realize that it would be better to cut your losses and move on. \n\nI would suggest that, if you take this route, that you send your landlord a certified, return-receipt-requested letter, advising him that you are moving out on such&such date, and that he can use your security deposit for the last month's rent. In the letter, tell him that you are uncomfortable doing business with someone who has a background such as his. I highly doubt that he will attempt to hold you to the entire lease, but, if he threatens to take you to court, tell him to go right ahead. If he is stupid enough to actually do this, there isn't a judge in the world who would side with him - AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOTIFIED HIM IN WRITING OF YOUR INTENTIONS AND WHY.\n\nMost important is to remember to send the letter certified, return receipt requested. It is the only thing a judge will accept as proof that the landlord was properly notified, and is well worth the buck or so that it costs.\n\nIf, for whatever reason you choose to stay there, I think you are going to have issues with this landlord. Just a hunch.

The tenant pays you to use your house.  It is his home while he pays your rent.  He can ruin it or improve it.  He can be a good neighbour or a bad one.  It should be a mutually respectful business deal.\nBut yes, get a contract and stick to it!

a landlord can do pretty much as the please if they put it in the lease and you sign it. did you lie on the application?? that would be grounds for you getting kicked out...

Highly unlikely, but also depends on city and or state landlord tenant laws where you live.  If you truly feel wronged by the situation I would address the landlord directly about the issue.  Although, in most cases the laws favor the landlord so you have to determine whether or not you really feel he was liable and negligible in the situation.

You might do all those things but the other people in the building might not be so clean. Tell your manager in writing  give him a copy and let him know if the problem isnt fixed in a timely manner you will put your rent in an escro account with the local courts.

You have to have their social security number to do it, if they wont give it to you then you find another tenant.

Yes.  Landlord associations within your city have every document you need.  Look for Landlord/Tenant under the government pages and if unable to locate there, call your local chamber of commerce and ask and they'll start directing you....may take a few calls, good luck.

not sure about your state but your landlord should be giving you intrest on the money you are loaning him or her. Even if you put a deposite down your entitled to intrest.

there should be a Landlord and Tenant Board in your area that can give you advise and hopefully help arbitrate an agreement.

Check with the city hall for information about that. Each places has it own guide lines on rental property.
