Addition to question about landlords cleaning without permission...?
815503
Possession is the date you turn in your keys. Clean or not clean has no affect. If u had stayed over even one day without turning in keys, Landlord had no right to enter unit until 11/1, for which you gave notice, If your belongings were there. She should have tried to make contact with you. The verbal you had till 11/2 is just that, nothing at all.

This is a tough situation and there is no really good solution.\n\nRemember that what someone can "legally" do is not really a practical limit on what they may actually do. Worse still, you can have all sorts of legal rights but if the only way to exercise them is to go to court then the solution may be worse than the problem.\n\nThe only thing is really to get the stuff out right now. If the apartment is in the other person's name then she's not going to get any immediate help from the legal system.\n\nEDIT: From another question that you posted I'm now unsure if this is a room mate situation or a landlord-tenant case. Please clarify. It affects the answer.

Do a search for renters rights or laws regarding rentals in your area. There may be an organization you can contact for help. If you and the offending neighbours are renting from the same company, then look at the rental agreement you signed. If they are in violation of it, that would help. Go around to your neighbours and get them to sign your petition by all means, that's a good idea. But find out what the laws are regarding this in your area. Then you will know your options. If they have actually destroyed any of your property, you should be able to charge them. But without getting them evicted, that might cause more problems as well. My mother has a similiar problem, but in her case they are both owners. Do you have any kind of Block Watch or other Community group there? If so, go to the meetings. I assume you have tried speaking to them. Threatening them will do no good. Good luck.

If you mean can a landlord ban someone from the premises without legal action, then you bet they can.  They can also back up their assertions with legal action on the person that violates that order and/or the person that harbors them via their lease. As for the credit check that would be the landlords discretion. If they don't want the credit check they don't have to have one but they can't be added to your lease without one if you want one either.\n\nTo file a complaint use the better business bureau for your area.

Very good suggestions above.  One thing I'll add from experience.  If the apartment/house still needs the carpet replaced or walls painted, etc, the landlord is going to say yeah, they'll replace that sometime after you move in.  Before you sign anything, get a firm date that they will be there to do the rest of the repairs after you move in, or it will never happen!  Don't be a jerk about it, but be serious about setting up a good time for them to take care of it.  Get it all worked out in advance.  Otherwise you'll be looking at the same pet stains or peeling paint for 5 years.

If you have been ordered to vacate your rental home because it has "toxic mold", your landlord should be paying your relocation costs and your security deposit should have been immediately refunded.  \n\nDidn't you go to legal services for help when this all started?  Why didn't you get a lawyer or legal services to cut a deal with the landlord for you?\n\nWhy do you only have "4 days"?   When is your rent paid up until?

Oh you are opening up pandora's box!  Do  you really want tenants working on your property?  You are opening yourself up to a lot of liability issues there.  Definetly speak with a lawyer, but as a property manager I would say not a good idea!  If I let the tenants make decisions about repairs/maintenance/upkeep around here there would be mayhem!  I can't tell you how many people knock on my door daily....to ask to borrow a plunger! ugh!  Seriously though, think about your investment, you want to protect it right?  People tend to care for their own property much better than those who are merely renting!

No. Absolutely not and you can pinpoint to your landlord that it is against the law. I hope you have a formal written agreement from the province stating that; even you do not have one, it is still against the law.\nYou are allowed to have your own privacy unless there is an emergency like a fire or a neighbour reporting screams..\nAs for repairs which do not need immediacy, you both agree on a certain time and a date.

You have every right to ask the apartment maintenance and the front office to remove their shoes, or at least put on those plastic booties that carpet cleaners wear, because you are paying rent and this is your home. I surely have done it and the staff at the complex were not offended at all. Good luck.

Your landlord can refuse a walk-through.  It's not a law or anything.  If an apartment is not in move-in condition when you go to move in, your remedy is not moving in until it is ready.  Once you take possession, that's it.  \n\nAs long as you have the photos that prove the damage was there when you rented it, you will be fine.  She can claim that it wasn't, but more importantly ... you can prove that it was.\n\nYou don't need to "do" anything at this point.

I sympathize with your situation, but unfortunately in most instances landlords are not required to tell you why they do not want to renew a lease.  Nor do they need to give you a reason why as to they are asking you to move; so long as they are giving you proper notice and are not prohibited from doing so by law or contract.\n\nIn this case it seems that they are giving you proper notice, so they are perfectly within their rights.  All I can do is hazard a guess as to the why in your situation: most likely, the new management company has different guidelines than the old company, and you do not fall within those guidelines.\n\nBest of luck in your search for a new rental.

None, a landlord isn't obligated to have laundry services.

In the state of Maine it is the landlords responsibility.  I would assume it is there.  Call code enforcement and document that you have called by letting your landlord know by mail or letter (make sure it is written).

First, I sure get tired of folks responding to questions as if they were text messaging you; I wonder if they can properly spell anything. Second, each state has slightly different laws regarding personal property and tenancy. I also have a feeling you left a few details out; the owner of the property where your "house" or trailer was/is sitting on, is a rented space to you (Lessee) owned by the Lessor.  You must have recieved multiple notices regarding the issue of your back lot rent, and THEN it went to Small Claims Court.  The Judge in Small Claims must have had your "paid up" receipts of record, (if you bothered to show up)or not-if not, the Lessor (owner of the property) would have won the small claims case, then she/he (Lesor)would have had an additional request, through another court, at another date later, to request seizure of your property to pay the back owed bills.***** They can only do this if they have proved you had received Notices of these actions.**** The only way they could have had the utilities turned off is if they ended up owning YOUR property in this very legal way.
