Especially in larger cities in high traffic or high crime areas, it is common for apartments to have a "doorman" that asks for ID if the "doorman" doesn't recognize those coming into the building to protect the property and other tenants.
I moved out of my apartment on 5/31 (the end of the lease) and now they are sending me a bill for $2,700 because apparently I was required to give 60 day notice to move out. Is there anything a I can do to dispute this?
answered on Aug 4, 2020
Often a lease requires a certain amount of notice to terminate. If the period of time is reasonable, such as the Court may say 30 or 60 days as reasonable notice, then the Court will generally enforce a lease agreement entered into between the parties that requires the tenant to give 60 days...

Allowing a person to profit off land is usually not the same legal term as a sublet. For example, a legal "profit" off the land could be allowing someone to remove timber, minerals, or wild game off the land. It is more like an easement than a sublet.
Three sections of land in Nebraska, leased to neighbor, Land owner wants to hunt on his own land, and have friends hunt deer on it too. Yet lessee says NO. Is this possible?
answered on Nov 18, 2019
The rights of a tenant and landlord are generally governed by the landlord-tenant agreement (or lease). Unless the lease states otherwise, the landlord generally surrenders the property to the tenant for the tenant's purposes. Thus, a landlord can't generally enter the leasehold for... View More

landlord told me the deposit is non refundable, I dont understand how or why.
answered on Aug 8, 2019
The law generally holds people to the terms of their contract even if one party later changes their mind. If a deposit is non-refundable per the terms of the contract, the Court will generally enforce that provision and not require the return of the deposit.

You should save the payment money and approach the bank to take over the loan. Yet, the bank in not likely going to be able to talk with you about it since your not on the loan.
