Landlord legal issues… Marissa CO Renter

Is is legal for my landlord to present me with their sanitation bill and expect me to pay it monthly?

Also, is it legal for my landlord to rent is due on the 1st before 6:30 and put a $50 late fee if it is late (on the same day)? Plus a $35 per day charge after that?  I always thought it was due on the first and late on the fifth.  I feel my landlord legal issues may be violating some type of apartment law.

Landlord retaliation Deana Harris OR Renter

the landlord fails to supply any essential service, the lack of which poses an imminent and serious threat to the tenant’s health, safety or property after a complaint was made by myself regarding my tenant rights.  This is according to the Oregon statute dealing with landlord retaliation.  (OR 90.385)

Apartment bugs New Renter OK Renter

We’ve got and infestation of apartment cockroaches.  How can I get landlord to take care of apartment bugs?  We paid for the rent and deposit of a property in OKC. Just before the move in date we did a walk through and discovered that the home had mold, cockoaches and grout problems. We tried getting them to fix the problem.  An exterminator was sent out for the pest control, a poor grout work was done in the kitchen but they merely painted the window and knocked a couple of nails to seal the window shut. We have on numerous about the mold but the landlord merely says that it is not mold. I have asthma, my fiances daughter has respitory problems and i have a 8 week old baby. I just want the house to be in healthy living condition. the lanlord is just reluctant to do anything more about it. Although we have not moved in as i did not want to get any mold on my stuff, the lanlord will not refund the deposit or prorated rent. We even went as far as to tell the landlord that he merely had to put it in writing that he will take care of the grout and mold problem should they arise again, but he refused. Is this legal?

Deposit Amanda OK Former Renter

We just moved out of a rent house and upon leaving we cleaned the whole house and had carpets cleaned.  We did a walk through with half of the Landlord duo before handing over the keys.  After the walk through my husband asked if he saw anthing horrible that was wrong and he said the only thing he say was the oven wasn’t cleaned and the window seals were dirty.   Now after getting part of our deposit back the landlords wife wrote and said she spent eleven hours cleaning the house because it was disgusting and dirty.  She charged us 136 dollars for the supposebly cleaning she had to do.  Can they do that?  What are my rights here, cause that house was not dirty when I left and the whole year and half we were in it I cleaned all the time.
