I recently moved into a new apartment. I was told that the lady next door smokes, but she is supposed to smoke outside.

Have you spoken to the tenant directly? Do that first. You can also write to her so that there is documentation. Write to your landlord as well, to document attempts to resolve the issue prior to filing any lawsuit. If no action is taken, some townships or counties allow a tenant to escrow rent if... View More

A landlord cannot refuse timely paid rent. They ARE permitted to refuse late rent unless a specific municipal code prevents that. If they attempt eviction, let the court know that you attempted to pay rent timely and it was refused.

You are on notice of a rental agreement so you are bound by the terms. Once you know the terms and conditions as well as the length of the agreement (term) you can cancel the contract or refuse to renew.

There are very specific laws regarding mobile home parks and the eviction process. It... View More

You have the right to ask for clarification and challenge the decision if you believe it's unreasonable or not based on actual regulations. If the halfway house is saying you can't go to your own home due to your brother's pending charges, they may be following a policy aimed at... View More

You'll have to read your lease. Typically, the owner can have access with 24 hour's notice, and can request you leave during showings. Sorry you're dealing with this!

For context, my boyfriend and I ended up losing our home and living in his moms basement for a couple months. I found out I was pregnant and soon after, him and his mom had gotten into an argument about the way we were being treated there. (Not being able to do laundry, being accused of things we...

My roommate and I forgot to give notice 60 days prior and we gave roughly 45 days. The complex said we are now responsible for utilities for 20 extra days.

Based on the information provided, it seems that your lease agreement requires you to give at least 60 days written notice before vacating the premises. Since you provided only 45 days notice, you are not in compliance with the terms of the lease.

In this situation, the landlord may be... View More

If you've had no water for two years and leave you can sue for constructive eviction. However, you have to actually leave to do that.

Yes, the owners must give a 30 day written notice before filing the eviction. But an eviction filing is a permanent court record that can make it difficult for you to rent from a landlord who check's the court records, and most landlords check, and won't rent to someone with a prior... View More

Not a darn thing. There is nothing in the law that compels a person to renew a lease once the term is ended. Leases are at their core, contracts. Alternatively, they could agree to renew but at a greatly inflated rate. There would be nothing to stop that either,
