Because of his not processing applications I was given stipulations out of my control but in his hands. They too where denied. Now Im facing eviction
1. In residential rental situations where there are two or more residents on the same lease, the standard industry practice is to require every resident to undergo the same application process as everyone else does.
2. Most if not all licensed rental property managers require a nominal... Read more »
Say if we dont pay it all we have to move out
Unless you have a written agreement that allows you to go two weeks without paying any weekly rent to your landlord, and also allows you to pay only one week of the late rent using money orders I am afraid that the landlord will win this dispute.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge of acronyms that you must like to use--but what in the world is a "pm?"
We had permanent trash can on our porch (door step) they have now changed companies and say the trash cans have to be taken in to our appartment. I need to know if it's legal for them to fine for not taking g the trash can into my home or placed on the patio
This is not a legal question. Unless your written lease allows you to keep your trash can on the front porch--where all the other residents and anyone coming by have to see it--you are probably going to lose this stupid altercation.
Is it true that it is not an appropriate document without that information?
Florida Statute 83.56 provides in pertinent part that:
"... The 3-day notice shall contain a statement in substantially the following form:
You are hereby notified that you are indebted to me in the sum of dollars for the rent and use of the premises (address of leased premises,... Read more »
No, it is not. But why is this question in Landord-Tenant session?
For the down payment. We have been paying him back one hundred a month. He says we can't make him leave because of the money and because he lives here and receives mail here. What can we do?
This is not a legal question. This is a (very sad) personal dilemma created by you and your grown son. Unless the oral contract between you and your son is in writing it is no enforceable--by you or your son. Thus I am unaware of any legal remedy you could use lawfully to evict your son. At best...

I was planning on subletting my apartment which my landlord agreed to, they told me it was my responsibility to find someone which I had no problem with. I submitted the sublease form and fee and was called by the landlord informing me that they found someone to take over my lease and if I can move... Read more »
Unless you have something in writing from the landlord that proves the substance of what you were doing and had agreed to, you may be unable to defend against the rent and late charges. Everything MUST be in writing when doing anything involving real property (land and buildings).
You need to hire a lawyer.
I've been living with my mother for about 3 months. I was recently going to have my girlfriend spend the night with me and my mother told me she wouldn't allow it and if I did she would kick me out.. she threatened to get an eviction and told me if I did have my girlfriend spend the night she would...

Wow. Has it not yet occurred to you that--being a 32 year old man who lives with his mother--is very unusual? And has it not yet occurred to you that your mother is the tenant on the lease--not you--and can decide who can sleep there? And has it not yet occurred to you that if you want to have your...

Couple yrs ago my brother-in-law put up a tent (like you'd park a car under) in the backyard. He's gradually junked up the yard, accumulating more tents and trash. I've told him verbally and in writing for over a year to clean it up. Last yr he actually began living under the tent, sleeping,... Read more »
While there is nothing stopping you from just telling him to leave, if you need to force him to do so you need to evict.
We have tenants in a home in Indialantic Florida. Numerous times they have not let us know something was broke or not working properly until the damage was expensive. A faucet leaked into new flooring for 2 days and then they let us know, Cost us $1500 to fix. A few weeks ago the ac compressor... Read more »

If they fail to pay rent as threatened, evict them.
We were required to leave and take most of our food, all medication, and pets out of our apartment for Termite Removal. They offered a stayed in a hotel but found out after the fact. We just wanted compensation out of our rent for the 3 days we had to be out. Are they required to give a form of... Read more »
No, probably not.
Racist landlord using rental address for food stamp fraud, refused to make electric repairs, putting lives at risk. Using harassment notes and text msgs to extort money. Used address for FEMA fraud and refuses to disclose security deposit details. Multiple county code violations on public record... Read more »
Move out quickly--before all these serious violations come home to roost--right where you live.
Neither room is completely repaired (the carpet probably has to be replaced as well). How long does a landlord have to finish the current job? I have given them access every day, and have been inconvenienced, to say the least. Thank you!
There is no set amount of time for a landlord to fix things.
I live in Florida and failed to give 60 day notice to my landlord of intent to move. They are now stating that there is a fee of 1 months rent since it is inside the 60 day window. I received a notice asking of intent to move or stay but it did not have any fees or fines listed on the notice. I... Read more »
You are correct: the answer to your question is contained in the written lease. Most leases allow landlord's to impose some fee or sanction on tenant's who do not inform the landlord that they are leaving at the end of the lease.
My girlfriend and I split up and she moved out of the condo we rent, in the middle of an eviction lawsuit with our landlord. They are trying to evict us because I found mold inside while doing repair work like painting and patching holes and i have MULTIPLE health issues due to mold exposure and I... Read more »

She told everyone before she died that it was going to be left to me but the property is in her name how do I go about switching it in my name and make the payments where she left off and how would I go about getting power of attorney to handle her legal paperwork?
Very sorry for your loss and the passing of your sister, please accept my condolences. You will need to contact a Florida Probate Attorney. There is no power of attorney after death as any power of attorney ends at death. If there is no Will, then the Florida Intestate Statutes (without a will)... Read more »
I have tried methods to resolve over the 3 years I have lived in this house. Nothing held up. All other houses around me have added new sod over that time. I have had several companies come out to assist. All recommend new sod. Landlord is saying this is my responsibility. A daily fine will... Read more »
It depends on the terms of your lease, but I expect that the local government or HOA (whichever is threatening the fine) will have to go after your landlord.
