You need to contact an attorney in your area quickly. If you cannot afford one, this is a situation your local legal aid office may provide assistance for. This doesn't sound right, and smacks of an illegal eviction.
I pay partial rent and don't have a rental agreement and been living where I work ( maintenance man) for 8 years. They wrongfully fired me but then gave me my job back at the end of the week (I didn't ask for it back) now I have an eviction notice saying I'm squatting and have to... Read more »
Without a written lease, you have a month to month rental agreement (oral agreement). Therefore, they would have to give you 30 days notice. You should also note that in Michigan there are new measures in place with the district courts related to the residential eviction process that require more... Read more »
My roommates and I have been in quarantine for over a month and have made it clear to the landlord that we aren’t comfortable with it and that we have been quarantined. She stills says we can’t opt out. Is she right or can we do something about it?
It's likely the landlord can do this. However, a simple "don't mind us; we're quarantined due to testing positive" the next time she brings someone by might dissuade her from doing that again.
the rental. what can they do before he leaves. they have been kind to him because of covid
Have your parents filed an eviction proceeding? They will need that to enforce any money owed.
He needs to be out. An 80 yo women shouldn't have to live in her situation. He has no drivers license, doesn't work and has her drive him around on errands. He is verbally abusive toward her and makes the situation so uncomfortable that she spends the majority of the time in her... Read more »
If this man's presence would be a lease violation, that is something for the landlord to address, but it may also negatively impact the woman. If there is a concern about her mental or emotional well-being, you could contact Adult Protective Services.
Just keep in mind that just... Read more »
The file in which copies of money orders and checks are kept
It sounds as if you are requesting to see your landlord's payment ledger. There is no 'law' per se, however, if you are challenging how you made your payments or how they were credited, you should have copies of your own payment receipts through cancelled checks or money orders.... Read more »
Well I was living with a friend and I recently moved out but I was never on the lease, most of my things are there I wanted to get them back but the person is giving me tge run around to get them. Is there any way I could obtain them?
Not easily. You might need to file a claim and delivery action in the local district court.
The stairs to get in and out of the apartment need to be rebuilt. And the landlord disagrees and thinks it only needs to have a few repairs. The stairs are dangerous and I hate to see anything happen to anyone.
This could be a code enforcement issue. I would contact the city housing or ordinance enforcement department with your concerns.
The sister and brother are only heirs, the brother wants nothing. The sister said the landlord talked highly of us, she cannot have the expense of a second mortgage & she would like us to have the home yet needs to figure out the mortgage. She had asked us to keep depositing our monthly... Read more »
A probate case may be necessary in order for the heirs to convey title to the property. If you have the cash or could get financing to pay off the mortgage, the transaction is fairly simple for an attorney to handle.
A friend of mine and his wife split up. She left the dwelling they shared and moved in with family. The divorce is in the early stages currently. She left several of her belongings behind and said she'd return but hasn't. My friend is now wanting to move from the home as the lease they... Read more »
Until the divorce is complete, that property is still at issue. Could he box this things up and bring them to her current place?
My ex broke into my home in june 2019 in which i pressed charges on her now husband for b and e and larsony. I didnt show up to court and it was dropped to disturbing the peace. now they are using the photos they took against me in a custody battle.
Family law is civil in nature and not subject to the more stringent criminal law standards. How are the photos relevant? That should be the focus of your fight now.
I have a fixed term lease ending oct 15 .they pay on the 15th of every month. I sent them text saying to let m know by sept 15 if they want to do another lease. On Sept 1st they still didn't let me know what the plan was so I put house on zillow to vet new tenants. I also sent them a 30 day... Read more »
Sounds like you did all the right things to date. If they remain, you will need to file for summary proceedings.
Saying it would just be a couple days all they had to do was replace a panel they forgot to but when the fire marshal returned when the panel was replaced he did a fuller inspection and found the dryer was so full of lint it was actually all the way up in the ceiling going about 40 feet back. This... Read more »
Dear Davisburg,
Your question references a condition at the property which could've, but in actuality did not adversely affect you. In the eyes of the law, you lack standing to sue, because you have not suffered a particularized injury traceable to the hotel's conduct. Sure, you... Read more »
Tenant owed 5 month rent and 1k water bill due to eviction ban and no shutoff utility as Covid19. Township can't get the bill paid but decided to add the water bill to landlord property tax. Is it correct? what I should do except file eviction? Thanks!
In most jurisdictions, a water bill is a lien on the land, and so ultimately is the responsibility of the property owner. That is why many landlords elect to keep the water bill in their name and charge the tenant for the water either as part of the rent or additional to it.
You can... Read more »
This tennant has previously herassed us. No where in contract states being fined and refuse to show me the video taken of us unknowingly.

I think you're limited to either pay the fine or not and face whatever actions the park can take against you (e.g. eviction). This doesn't sound like a criminal matter, and the park is not a government entity, so your rights are limited.
We just signed the lease in June and now my landlord is trying to evict me because the police have been at the house multiple times.
Depends on how and why the police are involved. If it's drugs, then yes. Even if there is not cause by law, obviously the landlord will be keeping a eye on you, and so you may want to think about 1) what you can do to not have so much police contact at the home (because that reputation can...

There are certain requirements a landlord must follow before eviction, including serving the tenant with a notice to quit, and then filing an eviction suit and getting a writ of eviction. It sounds like this process may not have been followed in your case. It would be best for you to consult with a... Read more »
I made an oral agreement to sublease the defendant's apartment room for 4 months and I paid the first-month rental as a deposit. Twenty hours after I paid the money, I decided not to rent this room and requested my deposit back, however, he refused to give the money back. He said he... Read more »
I don’t like to be the bearer of bad news, but I don’t see a basis for a rescission of the lease, or a claim that the other party breached the agreement, so I would say based upon these facts, that the landlord is in the right. Is there a basis for a claim that the landlord breached the agreement?
I've been with my boyfriend for 14 years an plan on breaking up within the next 4-ish weeks. My preference would be to ask him to move out and keep the condo unit we've been renting since 2008 to myself. I was the only one who signed the lease, but we are both listed as tenents. I am not... Read more »
Your boyfriend arguably has tenant rights in to condo. Of course, you can ask him to leave, and he can agree to do so. It would be best to get the agreement and understanding in writing if possible.
i couldnt get help to move at that time because of virus closures. i couldnt turn key in till june 6 they are saying i have to pay my deposit back and charging me a mth rent during the initial out break. how can they charge me 800.00
If I understand the question, you resided in an apartment until June 6 but your lease ended on April 30. That means you 'held over' a little over a month.
Therefore, you owe a little over a month in extra rent on a 'month to month' basis (look at your lease, I bet it... Read more »
