Problems with eviction

Threats of Eviction for disturbances we did not have any part of and are not responsible for

House flooded due to gutter not being cleand gave 30 notice tenant refuses to give me the keys to the property says she is suing me for mold.

]]> I cannot take off from work and cannot afford to hire an attorney there is a company that will evict for me as my agent. They charge very little by comparison and will represent me as my agent. Can they do that in NC?

My Fiancee and I were/are interested in a rental that we found on craigslist that is located in Eagle Idaho. The thing of it is the home is rented by a private owner who says he is renting the house "as is." We went and looked at the house & the smell was horrifing there was animal feces all over dirty litter boxes left in the middle of the room it was trashed. My fiancee & I stated that we would remodel the place & clean it up to get it to living conditions if he would work us a deal. He of course said No! The home is still up for rent & it is not livable, it’s a health hazzard. I thought the homes had to be cleaned & in livable conditions before going on the market? I just want to know who to contact to report this matter? Please help. Thanks

Folks, My question is about sharing water bill among properties. I understand there are many apartment units that are not sub metered. So the tenants share the waterbill, what happens if one tenant abuses water, it is not fair for others to bear that burden, how do you effectively solve that poblem in a fair [...] Related posts:

For the last year I have had a roommate. Both of our names were on the building lease, however he was the party that would make the check out to the leasing office. Fast forward to this year. We moved out of the unit and I (tired of having a roommate) am looking for a place to live on my own. I found an apartment that I liked and applied. The landlord called me and said that I am being denied based on the fact that I paid rent late 9 months out of the 12 I lived at the last building. I was shocked! My last apartment building never once notified me that any payments were ever late. I called my former roommate and he said he was late maybe 3 times, but still I was never once made aware of any of this. I have proof that I paid him my portion of the rent on an average of 10-15 days before it was due because I have copies of all the cancelled checks. My question is this, is there anything I can do to get this off my report or any recourse I can take because I was never made aware of any late payments?

I moved into a 2 bedroom apt in a 2 floor house with my husband and my 3 year old autistic son in december 2010. 2 weeks into the month i had my husband’s family come over to watch the game and have the kids play in our new home while suddenly a weird scary guy comes upstairs and starts threatening me about the noise level in my apt at 5pm which in no way is disrespctful in time. he begins to threaten my family calling us racist names and it was a bad situation. it was scary and embarrassing that i had to call the cops the next morning because he came to our door again to threaten us that he would do watever it takes to get us out.i file a police report and comes to find out that he is the son of the owner of the house with severe mental issues that the owners never mentioned. i been afraid to even have my kid play or have anyone comeover till today. my husband had his 3 friends over to watch the game at 4pm and left at 9pm. at 10:30 the cops are knocking on my door saying that we were making loud noises. the owners have my contact numbers and can walk upstairs if they need to if there was loud noises yet they call the police on us without notice.this is the second time this occurred and they told the cops that if it happens again they will send us to court. the first time it happened i spoke to the owner on the phone and told them they can contact me anytime if theres a problem . keep in mind i have complained about not having any heat in one of my bedrooms and the bathroom several times and no answer. we do not make loud noises because of my sons condition and we dont have alot of friends because we work and take care of our son.we pay our rent on time even couple of days before due date.i want to know if they can evict us for having family over if thats the only reason they are upset about?

I submitted a request for a tenant background screening on Friday and was not able to retrieve a report. I have now been charged TWICE on my credit card but have not received any reports OR e-mails with my receipts. I have left your company two messages and sent you an e-mail complaint on Friday and have not gotten a response. I have also contacted my bank and plan to cancel ALL charges and report them as fraudulent if I do NOT hear back from someone at your company!

Please call me ASAP at (813) 601-8218 to discuss this matter. There is NO way of contacting someone at your company via telephone because it requires a pin # that was NEVER sent.

I have been renting my primary residence in GA since 2007, when I moved to Dallas. Since 2008, I hired a realtor to become a property manager and we have been getting along quite well up until Q3 of last year. Our agreement was that he manages the property in exchange for 10% of the monthly [...] Related posts:

Our agreement was that he manages the property in exchange for 10% of the monthly rent.

The mechanics of this has been the tenants mail him a cheque addressed to me. He forwards that on and I mail him a cheque for 10% of the amount.

Last October, he informed me that he wanted to change the agreement so that the tenants write a cheque in his name which he will cash, he will then send me a cheque for 90% of the rent. I did not approve of this as it did not offer any value and he expressed frustration becuase he was not being paid in a timely manor.

We argued because he gets paid as soon as I get paid so if there is a dalay, it’s becuause he does not send me the cheque on time.

Since then, he’s been devicive and exposing a lot of these issues to the tenents. first, he bypassed our agreement, and had them write a cheque directly to him which I put straight, then he had them write him a seperate cheque for his fees.

Today I got a call from a frustrated tenent who told me that he called them and asked them to make more changes and that they are tired of dealing with him.

I signed an agreement with him to manage the property and they signed a tenant landlord agreement with him on the property. I’ve tried to work with him but he’s becoming increasingly unreasonable, he’s no longer acting in my interest and he is putting my tenents at risk.

What can I do here that will not risk my tenants. I don’t mind getting into litigation with him but I do not want him to create problems for my tenants (damage to credit etc).

Advice would be gratefully appreciated.

I’m not sure where to post this. I need information regarding a mobile home community that we live in. We own the mobile home we live in, but we lease the lot that’s placed on. We have a landlord that has been placing rule reminders/volations on tenants doors. I understand that it’s our reponsibility to repair or maintenance our mobile homes. I have been doing my part as a tenant, to keep up the repairs on my house. My landlord placed a rule reminder regarding my house needed to be power washed before december 23rd. That’s two days before christmas. We didn’t get it done because of holiday coming and bad weather. It had snowed and made it hard to get to power washing. That first rule reminder expired on the 23rd. He wrote me up again saying that I violated the rules. I have been trying to get to the power wash but we live in Ohio and our weather has been really funky lately. It snowed again, then it thunderstormed. Just yesterday it iced up really bad. Now it’s supposed to be 50 degrees on friday so i called the office to rent the power wash machine from the community. I’m going to get it done. Yesterday the landlord comes on our our street in the park does his inspection and he basically wrote up the entire street. He wrote me up again, as well. This time I receive a rule reminder for my skirting that needs to be repair. Going to do it today, but he only gave me a two day notice? I need to know is this legal? Can he actually give you two days to repair a problem legally?

My New Jersey landlord after 20 years as my landlord is denying me my second parking space. My second car is registered and insured to be at the apartment.

He has posted notice a month and a half after new lease signed claiming I must go by the parking plan he prescibes with his new post.

He notified that second car will be towed away. He has added other regulations in addition.

The apartment is one of two above two comercial. One commercial is a rental and other is landlord office.

What should I do?
