No mention of abandonment penalty in lease
answered on Jul 18, 2019
Regardless of whether there's an explicit lease term about it, by leaving early you are breaching the lease and you will be liable for rent until the landlord is able to re-rent the place. If he has a deposit on hand from you, he can take rent out of that until it's gone. You'll... View More 
Free bc he got up in church and confessed that the Lord told him to give her the house. No paperwork was ever exchanged. Now after 4 yrs he want her out along with her 3 children. Is this considered verbal contract since he announced he was giving her the home. And how should she proceed
answered on Jun 24, 2019
Yes, of course it is a verbal contract. The fact That "the brother" made the statement in church in front of a bunch of people does not turn the verbal statement a written contract. However, there may be another cause of action involved here; but lawyers cannot represent clients through... View More

The amount of money involved is way too small to be of interest to most lawyers. FYI, the law is not designed to solve every little problem that comes your way during this lifetime; the Latin phrase for this rule is "De minimus non curat lex."
It doesn’t say in our lease that they can come in without notice except in an emergency or when maintenance is scheduled. We weren’t home so we didn’t know they came in until we saw the letter they left saying they came in and checked for potential hazards. It also doesn’t state in the... View More

Look closely at the lease. Unless I miss my guess the lease says the landlord can enter THEIR property anytime they need to get in.

In NY, the answer is yes. If the LL knew of the viciousness of the dog and failed to protect the tenants, depending on the precise facts, it is possible to hold the LL liable.
landlord a copy of key as requested. The landlord notified tenant that lcoked would be changed in 48 hours if key not provided. is it legal for landlord to change locks, as long as Lnadlord provide teneant with a key?

It's usually part of every residential lease agreement that the landlord has some sort of right of entry for inspection/emergency maintenance/etc.
It also seems like the initial changing the locks would likely be a breach of the lease by the tenant. It really all depends on what the... View More

Yes. A landlord must give you written notice before starting the legal eviction process. The type of notice and length of time depend on the reason for the eviction.

Definitely not. If this really happened, you need a lawyer right away.
Until october 17th to leave the property

Unfortunately, once you've left the property, most of your personal belongings are deemed abandoned if you don't get them out quick enough. I would communicate with your former landlord to see if he'll let you in to get your things.

Generally the owner or mortgage holder has the right of inspection. That right is usually granted in the contract documents. However giving them a key is a big ask. My suggestion would be to give a key to someone you trust if they want to inspect. Without seeing the paperwork I am just stating... View More

You need to take your lease to a lawyer for review. In Arkansas, generally in a party to a contract materially breaches the contract, then the other party is released from performing under the contract.
My lease states landlord is responsible for repairs. The maintenance person that works for my landlord tells me they are busy & won't do repairs. I have a letter in writing signed by my landlord stating that the repairs I mentioned, will be done within a week of the letter. That was in November

Is that a civil suit? Or criminal suit? They signed a rental agreement stating that those items were included with the rental property and not to be removed.

It is most likely both. It is a crime to steal things, and you should report it to the police.
