I live in Subsidized housing (rent based on income), recently the re-certification person requested a copy of my 2019 Federal Income tax in order for me to be re-certified. I feel that she was being nasty for no reason and unprofessional, simply because I was the ONLY one that turned in my tax... View More

I would review the documents provided by the program under which your housing is subsidized. Just pull the documents directly and see what they say. Then if you feel that the landlord has requested too much you have documentation to backup your claim and contact information for the organization... View More

Now they are trying to fine me for samples collected in Dec 2018, March 2019, and Feb 2020. Can they do this? I have always picked up my dogs bathroom, but sometimes weather or even... View More

The answer to your question depends on the terms of your lease. If your lease provides for it, then yes, he can.
Are you required to clean up after your dog if you're disabled? I have a service dog (task trained not some stupid fake ESA with a vest) and while he can carry things for me... he can't scoop his own poop and I can't always scoop myself. Can I get in trouble for leaving it?
answered on Feb 23, 2020
Yes. You are still required to clean up after your fog....service or otherwise.
Yes I do have proof that the landlord and maintenance men stole my belongings. Very satisfying proof

If you don’t have a lease, you probably have 30 days. The olive won’t likely remove you, but she can evict you.
It freezes up on the inside and outside he also told us when my son moved out that he would give us 250back on dog deposit but has not and he charges $40 extra for water each person living here

No. Not until the lease expires. After it expires, he will probably only offer a new lease with that term, however.

If the attack happened in Kentucky, then yes, you would have to file the charges in Kentucky.
Can I do rent in escrow if landlord is notified and has not responded to repairs in over 30 days. Mold is getting worse.
answered on Dec 27, 2018
You can if you have notified the landlord IN WRITING and he has not redone thin 30 days. Everything you do must be heavily documented and in writing to prove your case, including the roof that it is indeed black mold. Anything and everything you do orally is worthless.
The room itself is very small and walled with thin paneling. It has two very small windows that are painted shut so there is no egress. The room also has no vents or any access to the central heat or the air. Although not as severe, the room also has no closet and the ceilings are very low. This... View More

Establish that there is mold in the house and that is the cause of your sickness. Put them on notice of it by sending a letter and demanding it be corrected. If not corrected, you can void the lease and move.

No. You need to file a foreclosure action because of the land contract.
They charged me for the cost of the electric bill plus an additional $65 dollar late fee. Technically, that fee is in the lease agreement but only for late rent. My rent was paid in full on time for the month.
answered on Apr 17, 2018
If it is in the agreement for utilities or another provision related to the electric bill, they can charge you. If it is not in the contract, it is not enforceable.
