I moved all of my belongins out of my rental by September 1st. However, I cleaned the place and still had a couple of items in the garage. I informed my landlord that I was waiting on friend with a truck to take items to location. Of, course,he had a truck but never offered any assistance. It was about th 10th before I could get the 3 items moved out of garage. He sent me a letter saying that he was charging me rent for 10 days because the items were still in garage. Can he do that. The house was empty and I was completely moved out of it..

If a tenant has leased from a landlord for a year in Texas and upon the expiration of that lease the landlord then says that rent will be increased, can the landlord legally do this without giving tenant any advanced written notification that rent will be increased?

  I received a 3 day notice to pay or quit 04/22/12 for October 2011, I was unable to find a copy of the money order, but I do know that in October when I was on my way to the office, Joyce

(Property Manager) was standing outside and I handed her my money order

I moved out on 6/5/2009. I lived there since 2/28/2006. On 7/16/2009 I received a statement (not dated, date is on envelope) that I owe $1400.00 besides the $880.00 deposit I paid upon moving in. The statement disclosed over $700 in carpet replacement, which I thought was ridicules. So I sent a certified letter requesting copies of invoices showing the costs of all repairs. After 2 weeks I called to confirm that they got my letter and I was told I should be getting something in a mail within a month or so. I have not heard from them since until yesterday. I got a letter from a collection agency dated 1/21/2011. I haven’t even got a letter informing me that the account will be placed in collections. Can they do that? What are my rights at this point? I also read that in Nevada Landlord has to present final statement within 30 day that is probably why there is no date on the statement they set me. Also I read that Landlord has to present written statement of all damages and problems with the unit besides the standard checklist. I haven’t got anything like that. Please advise if I should seek legal help or just pay.

Thank you
