If you don't pay, and then landlord sues, the court would determine if it is enforceable or not. But landlord might not sue, and instead might make an adverse entry on your credit report for non-payment, lowering your credit score and making it difficult to rent from a landlord who checks...

But he would not have access to it, and if you refused to give it back, then he would have to sue you. If there is no signed agreement stating the terms by which you are holding the money for...

If we end our lease can we get the deposit back or do we have to keep paying full rent even though we don’t have what was promised to us?
answered on Nov 8, 2021
If you try to end the lease, the landlord could sue you for breach of the lease and file an eviction. Not having the washer probably would not be a valid defense, but it could be. If landlord files an eviction against you, it is a permanent public record that can make it difficult to rent from a... View More
My husband I are filing for dissolution of our marriage in Montgomery County, OH. We are in agreement on all terms in the Separation Agreement. Will we really need to file the financial affidavits? We own nothing mutually. Nobody is requesting spousal support.

Check the local court web site for which forms are required, or call the court and ask. If you do not file all the required forms, the process will not go forward.
I was giving a letter stating he was terminating the lease because he sold the home and the new owners wanted to live in the property. However he did not sell the home and plans to move new tenants in.
answered on Nov 4, 2021
Selling a home does not give the owner or new owner a basis to terminate existing lease rights. Any current written lease will continue in full force until the expiration date stated in the written lease. A tenant would not have to leave, and the owner has no right to force tenant out, until the... View More

So you might get a notice of a future court hearing on how much you owe. Or the landlord might not bother to pursue that unpaid rent, if... View More
