Q: can a rental company charge me for repairs that my landlord hired after i was already evicted and gone
my landlord died his wife gave me a 90 day no cause eviction. Soon after we received a bill from a rental company for repairs. Is that even legal? My guess is that she evicted us to get rent hire as i have noticed it on line for 525 dollars more than i was paying for the last 14 years. I have nothing to do with the rental company they where not nor ever my landlord
A: Of course you can be charged for repairs if you caused the damages. Your landlord could have simply raised your rent any amount she wished; she did not have to evict you to be able to do so. If you didn't want to pay it, then you could have terminated your tenancy and left.
