On a month-to-month lease, on November 1st the tenant informed me that she would be leaving the apartment on December 12th. On December first she sent me a check that corresponds to 12 days of rent. I withheld from the deposit the balance of the rent because I believe the notification to terminate... View More

Negotiate this with the landlord. It is not uncommon for all of the tenants to be named on a lease.
Thank you for taking this question.
A landlord was contacted to unblock a disabled tenent's bedroom windows of snow after the landlord did so for other tenants.
The landlord agreed via text but has not complied by doing the work.

I don't know of any laws specifically addressing windows blocked by snow. If the matter has not resolved itself, consider meeting with an attorney to review your lease, agreements, and the particulars of your case to explore your rights and remedies.

What does your Lease say? Also, check the ordinances in your town as some hold the resident responsible for shoveling your sidewalk.
Thought move out date was 02/28/15. We requested copy of lease to see if we paid last month or deposit. Lease actually up 01/31/15. We do not want to renew lease based on living conditions and the landlord. Due to thinking end of lease was a month later we made arrangements to move to a suitable... View More

I suspect the landlord will accept your money for the additional month as you are now considered holdover tenants because your lease has expired and it would be more economical for him to take your money for the additional month than to retain an attorney to evict you in that same month.

Meet with an attorney to discuss your options. It sounds like you may have a few different ones to consider.

Sure, if you like the place. Ask for the new owner's contact information and set up a meeting, call , or discussion regarding whether they are interested in continuing the tenancy and under what terms.

Yes, the laws and procedures (and defenses) differ substantially. Retain a practicing attorney to ensure the matter is handled professionally and effectively.

Review your lease agreement with a practicing attorney. Hopefully, you incorporated the park/yard maintenance as a term of the lease and you will have contractual rights that may be enforced. If not, you may have just learned an important lesson in contracting for important things... get it in... View More

If the month to month tenancy was running from the 15th to the 15th, then they gave proper notice. If the tenancy was from the 1st to the 1st then you may arguably have a case for the additional 2 weeks. Meet with an attorney to evaluate the particular facts of the case and the estimated costs...

However, the tenant's attorney will not communicate with me.
As a landlord, what can I do?
answered on Dec 19, 2012
As long as they stay current with their rent payments and the terms of the lease, if any, then there should be little to do. If they fail to maintain the payments and the terms of the lease, you should consult with an attorney to review the entire situation and fully evaluate your rights.

It's been almost a year since you posted this question. When a judgement for possession, back rent, and expenses is tendered, it MAY include court costs, constabulary costs, and possibly the postal expense to mail that letter for 45 cents. I imagine that may be the least of your worries when... View More
