Sharing tenants rights information

TayTay — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:16:47 +0000

I was wondering if it was illegal for a landlord to share a tenants rights information, isn’t there a privacy policy or law protecting the renter from that information being shared?

Tenant privacy rights

Ryan — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:29:26 +0000

I’m not sure if my landlord is breaking any laws, but he is getting annoying. I’m certain my landlord is violating my tenant privacy rights. My problem is that my landlord agreed to do the yard work at our house which sounded good to me at first until, everyday when I come home from work he’s at the house, but he does NOT really do much. What doesn’t make sense to me is he can come during to day when no one is home but he waits. What should i do??? What is my tenants right to privacy? I dont fel like I have any!!

Can I be evicted?

Curious31 — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 18:54:38 +0000

I am currently 8 days late paying rent and my landlord has threaten to evict me if rent is not paid in 24hrs. I’m told that in the State of Alabama, it’s up to the landlord but they’re not even sure. Can my landlord evict me even if I’m less than 1 month late on rent? I’m not sure how this works, but if someone could please enlighten me. I have read over the my lease agreement and the lease does not specify what day my landlord will file for eviction, if rent is not paid. PLEASE HELP. Thanks

Who pays for pest control; Tenet or Landlord?

I just moved into my new house about a month ago and have noticed numerous black widow spiders and ants. The spiders are all over the house and I’m killing at least one type of spider a day, literally. I have a 3 year old daughter and am concerned about the spider problem, especially when one was crawling on her arm. The ants are just in the kitchen area, but no food has been left out.

I need pest control ASAP; but who pays for it? Tenet or Landlord?

Rent late fee

AJ — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 06:24:49 +0000

I received a bill from my apartment complex with a credit and paid it being sure to include the payment stub in the envelope this month. The management co. is not trying to evict me unless I pay the difference between my regular rent and the amount on the bill plus a late fee. What legal options do I have? The rent late fee seems to be higher than it should be. Can the landlord charge me a daily late rent fee?

Tenants rights foreclosure

Kyle — Wed, 06 May 2009 10:18:15 +0000

So my landlord was forclosed on and the property went to the bank. I talked with the bank and they refused to give me any information. So I decided I would wait for an offical notice to vacate. Yesterday, I got a notice that the property was going up for sale at an auction in 10 days. I am so confused, do I have to vacate before the auction date, do I wait hear from the new owners, or do I have a certain amount, by law, to vacate. I have not received any notice addressed to this issue. All I have seen is a notice saying the property was going into forclosure and a notice about the auction date. I just don’t want to come home to my belongings on the front lawn. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
