I had his auto insurance and bank statement from his residence and she added my lease wasn't going to be renewed. We spend a lot of time together over a year now. I feel targeted not only by the landlord but the residents here at the apartment complex. What rights do I have?

In many locations, landlords can set terms about guests and residency in their lease agreements. If your lease specifies limits on long-term guests, your landlord may request proof of your boyfriend's primary residence to ensure compliance with the lease. It's important to review your... View More
About $20,000 of business property has been removed from my rental space. I’m late on my July rent and only received a notice from the landlord’s attorney about paying the past due amount. A formal criminal police report was filed on 8/20/2023.

Hire an attorney; this amount is too large for small claims court, and I would not recommend representing yourself in district court.
My husband took off in 2018 I paid the mortgage and went to nursing school. I was fine right up.until the pandemic. The mortgage was in his name but the deed in mine.

Based on this fact pattern, you should be the recipient of any excess funds in the foreclosure process. I would advise that you hire an attorney to represent you during this process to ensure that your interests are heard in court.
My landlord does not restrict breeds of dogs. They do require pet owners to fill out a pet profile and the dog goes through 'screening' to ensure it is safe. But I was still bitten by a pitbull in the complex. Can I sue my landlord for allowing an aggressive breed in the community even... View More

Probably not, and pitbulls aren't considered to be an unusually aggressive breed toward humans.
we are private people. I don't want this guy to come to my house every day and use our water and water the grass and our flowers?? I am so very unvomnfortable. Do I have any rights?
answered on Jun 7, 2023
While the landlord is allowed to inspect the property, they are not supposed to use the property while you possess it via the lease. I would have to review the lease to ensure it is not allowed, but I don't think they should do this.
My rent is due by the fifth, and I have always been on time or early. This month I was slightly late and was going to pay it on the sixth. I received a letter in my email very early in the morning on the fifth stating that rent is late but if I paid it before the ninth I would receive no fees. When... View More
answered on Jun 7, 2023
You have a valid argument that the email constitutes a written waiver by the landlord of its right under your lease to charge the $40 late fee as long as you paid before the 9th.
Our landlord ended our lease/evicted us during an argument giving us a 60 day notice and with his unpredictable behavior we would like to be sure we get our security deposit back in full.

Ideally, you should videotape the entire inside of the premises shortly before departing and returning your keys to the landlord so you can prove there are no damages to the premises for which you are responsible under the terms of your lease.
I was late for april rent and tried to pay april rent yesterday. She told me she cannot accept it unless i pay april and may. Then she stated that this policy is in the lease. When I asked her to show me the lease she would not and only said that it is in there. Can she legally do this even if the... View More

Under certain circumstances, a landlord is allowed to refuse past due rent payment, even when the lease doesn't reserve the right to do so. You should consult with a knowledgeable attorney about your rights and options.

Go to the magistrate/clerk's office and file for summary ejectment. This is a very common fact pattern.

Unless she has your Power of Attorney, she cannot sell your property. But are you sure you are the owner? A title search by a NC attorney might be needed, along with letters to interested parties. A complaint against the real estate agent might be in order.

When you get a final court order, it will likely contain a judgment against your tenant for the amount owed. If they are living in a different county, you will need to transfer that judgment to the new county.
With that being said, the overwhelming majority of tenant judgments never get... View More

A lawyer would need to review your lease before they can give you advice on this issue.
I was given 4 weeks to move after the sale. I asked if I can have one day since July 29th is on a Friday . Can the new owner file eviction charges.
answered on Jul 26, 2022
Without seeing you lease agreement, I cannot give you specific advice. You need to reach out to the new owner(s) and see what they are willing to allow.

The simplest method is contacting your landlord and asking them to release you.
If that doesn't work, contact a lawyer and have them review your lease and situation and see what options are available.

The inmate may have their PoA on file at the local register of deeds, however, most PoAs are not recorded unless necessary. Additionally, it is very likely that no PoA exists for the inmate. The only way to know for sure is to ask the inmate themselves.
I found about $35 non-compliance fee per month charge for not providing a current renters insurance policy to my landlord. They charged me $70 for 2 months despite me having insurance.

You are asking a hypothetical question. Typically a property management company would not submit this kind of thing to a credit bureau until after you move out because they would simply take the fee out of your security deposit.
Assuming that the landlord reports a debt of $35 plus late fee... View More
