| Tenant admits she brought in bed bugs | anonymous | MI | New Landlord |
|
My tenant admits that she brought in the bed bugs into her apartment. She told me her sister’s house has been infested with them for a long time. She has admitted it repeatedly to me that she has known this and still let her kids come over to her apartment. This happened on Friday. We got right on it. On Monday we are starting treatment for the whole building.
May question is, Can I hold the tenant financially responsible for the cost of extermination where she has admitted to the situation?. The estimate is $800 . |

| “non-tennat” removal | SDK II | VA | landlord |
|
While I am a landlord in OH my son upon recently leaving the navy was unable to sell his home in Norfork, VA so……he rented it out without doing any landlording research OR talking to Dad. Needless to say he has learned his lesson. After three months of no rent on a verbal lease he is more than ready to evict. The issue is complicated more by the fact that apparently an inspection is required before a property can be legally used as a rental in that area. They have been calling attorneys with no success. Apparently this is a special class of "non-tennant" with different rules/laws. He plans to go back to VA at the end of his college summer term to deal with this issue. Can anyone provide any help or info? |

IT KIND OF SEEMS LIKE FAVORITISM TO ME THIS GUY HAS GOTTEN OUR CAR TOWED FOR THE BACK TIRE BEING ON THE LINE BUT THE MANAGER HAD MY CARS INFORMATION AND MY CAR HAD A PERMIT BUT THEY DIDNT CONTACT ME TO LET ME KNOW ANYTHING UNTIL I CAME HOME LOOKING FOR MY CAR. ITS BEGINNING TO SEEM THAT EVERYTHING HE TELLS HER IS WHAT SHE GOES BY BECAUSE WE’RE YOUNGER. ITS REALLY ANNOYING AND I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME FEED BACK. THANKS.. |

| Tenant from hell. | Sparky | US | New landlord |
|
I’m a new live in landlord who rented out the spare room for the first time as I needed the money to help pay for the mortage. My tenant paid his deposit (provided reciept) but didnt sign a contract. We had verbal agreement that we’d give a month notice if he was to ever move out. After a few weeks of living with this chap things started getting weird. He started stalking me, going though my post, emails, alienate my friends, the final straw was threatening my girl friend in a sick email as he was convinced he was in a relationship with me. I gave him a months notice. He moved out the following day leaving me in the shit. I told him he didnt keep to the arrangement of 1 months notice and due to the lack or respect, behaviour, harrasment and making me feel uncomfortable in my own home he will not be getting his deposit back. He is now turned it all around saying I forced him to move out etc and taking me to the small claims court for his deposit. Please help as I am worried and not sure where I stand on this. |

| Tenant did not pay last month rent and moved out, damages are significant | HI | Landlord | |
|
My tenant did not pay the last months rent. This would be fine, but not having a security deposit I am out of pocket for repairs which include: wall damage, broken sink and door, basic cleaning. This person is a goverment worker and is relocating in Europe for the job. To make this worse she owed $600. in back pay that was "in the mail". I have emailed and reminded her of the money owed. She has payed on time by direct deposit for two years, and I have only one problem that required that she get rid of the dog that had several complaints made about it. How can I persue this matter? |

I had a years lease on a house. I had moved my property out of the house as I was not going to be there during the summer. My lease ends the last day of August. I have been current with rent and utilities. I was planning on going back to the house this weekend and doing the last bit of clean up, do a moveout walk thru with landlord and return keys. Low and behold there is someone living in my house!!! They are using my utilities. The landlord rented my house right out from under me! CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO TURN! Thank you. |

| Demanding Landlord | Hank | MI | tenant |
|
I am a college student living off campus. I will be moving out of my current apt. at the end of the term. My landlord is anxious to get a new tenant lined up before the end of the term. He is a few hour away. He has asked me to show the apartment to people that he lines up by phone or email. I have done my best to accomodate him. The other day he was sending someone over but I had other plans. I told him I could not do it. He proceeded to exclaim via a text message just how mad he was using four letter words and the whole nine yards. I told him that it is not my job to rent his apartment. He is now coming up this weekend to show the apartment himself. He has asked me not to be there when he shows the apartments. I no longer trust him and want to be there and have someone with me. I do not plan on confrontation, just to protect my belongings. Can anyone tell me my legal rights in this? Do I have the right to be there when he is showing my apartment to other people? Thanks for any help. |

Can a landlord legally charge past tenants "lost rent" in Washington State after a lease expires for the time it took after the lease ended to repair damages done by tenants? |
