Missed an important step. Always while moving out get pictures. Get out your camera and take pictures of the rental. Better yet take a full narrated video of a complete inspection showing everything. With cellphones this is extremely easy and cost effective. Another piece of good advice is to use email a lot. Even if you have a telephone conversation with your landlord, back it up with an email to your landlord describing what was discussed in the phone call. If the landlord takes any exception they can always respond to the email.

What if you had pictures and email conversations but your child threw your phone in a bucket of water and you lost everything on your phone this means you had to buy a new phone and get a new number also because you couldn't keep the same exact phone number what can you do about this when you want to have proof of everything that's going on to prove your case

All I would have to do is buy another iPhone (sucks but what can you do) and when I sign onto it I get all my stuff back. Non-iPhone users also have cloud options but they have to set up (and usually pay for them).

Realty company for my area is from Arizona and they have papers charges just to put a notice on your door stating it's for late payment of rent (when your rent has been paid), but reminder doesn't state what it's for and you can make arrangements. Two days later they put another notice with another paper charge that's a three day notice to terminate rental agreement in thirty days and leave out all your legal rights. You are questioning and trying to figure out what's going on and then told it's in your lease, then they say they are hanging up, because you are just f-ing crazy.

The apartment start smell of smoke and theres kids live in it.. we have a broken kitchen oven and tell them to give us a new and it took them 3 month and they just grab it next door.

I have been a landlord for 42 years and only 4 times did I return a deposit, All of the others owed more than the deposit in back rent. Now If I show up at the property the squatters call the cops and the cops make me leave unless I show them the copy of the deed. But By Dec 1st 24 people will be hitting the streets, actually squatting somewhere else. In Calif I then have to wait 14 days for them to get their stuff before I can call in a dumpster. But since the squatters in 2 units scared off the other tenant/drug dealers in the other 2 units. I am thankful to them, despite no rent for 18 months.

That's exactly what was done with the former landlord and now also having to be done with this current one too. The moment they show you any kind of duplicity in their character, verbal and psychological abuse which is unacceptable anti social behavior, immediately go no contact and make it clear to them in writing that behavior will not be tolerated and any further communication with them is to be done in writing and through email, then prepare to leave the toxic environment.

The worst part is the roaches have taken over the whole front half of our home since it has gotten cold. No matter how much we clean, they are everywhere. We can't even sit in the living room anymore and watch tv without roaches crawling on us. I'm also pretty sure they have formed a colony in the back of our tv.

@k.mariezamora9752 2 года назад

We was WRONGFULLY EVICTED WITH FALSE DOCUMENT DUE TO RETALIATION ON RENT PAID!! Manager had us on a 90 days eviction without noticing us than has the 90 days manager had us on was the three days and still without noticing us. An employee told us that we was on eviction as we was on that three days and manager give us the false eviction 1 day before the deadline and gave us the notice on a Thrusday right before 5pm making it hard for us to go to legal aid only one day to be able to get help so thankful for employees that given us heads up. He also evicts tenants on Holidays making it hard for them to get any kind of help. Since our rent was paid and we have all our proof of paid rent from the first month I moved in and faithfully paid rent on time without being late. We won the first court heart. Judge statement of a mailed letter stating that we can stay in our unit and to start restoration but manager still refuse our rent. Manager told maintenance to lock us out we call police and the officers was mad and told manager they can't do that. Manager denied us dumpster use so we couldn't throw out any garbage. Than how manger was so angry after 30 days he relocated us to another unit and had plans of throwing us out by not having a rental agreement of that unit but according to Fair Housing when any manager/landlord gives a key to their rented property that key is your rental agreement. So he couldn't throw us out and once again as an employee give us heads up so we had to call the police and the police made manager to give us an rental agreement than that manager would have to evict us again and once again the eviction was false document but we still had to go to court. Second time of court hearing of the same issue same judge too but this time we lost because judge said she couldn't hear us out for the reason out response was blank and so I had told legal aid how that/ happened and legal aid attorney said "your response was not blank because I felt it out myself." I couldn't believe how that judge lied like that, it is so hard for me to even say a judge lie because I honestly believe that they are mandatory to be fair and truthful. So the day sheriff came to lock us out right after we was put out and sheriff left manager had a note posted up on lobby entrance door stating there are 4 tenants in that building that has COVID 19 and from my understanding of that is that when there are tenants diagnose with that virus that no one can be put out and of course at that time manger didn't let sheriffs know that. Manager and wife been getting a lot of tenants out their units, tenants that's been there for over 20 years and some. Manager was even caught in his own lies by judge from the first court hearing, so he purge in court to the judge and still nothing. Now we have eviction on our records and it's been very hard to rent our own place and we came to find out that manager be speaking lies on us as other managers call to get a report on us and that manger lied Slandering our name. Retaliation is against California State Law and slandering. So much more on how manager treated us till sheriff came. Manager validated our renters rights by denying us dumpster use. Corporate it's of no help at all and they end up calling manager to tell them of tenants reports. That apartment building is Federal Law for low income families, but yet manager evicted a lot of low income tenants with handicap/disability tenants and moved in the manager wife's immediate and extended family and also fired employees to hire wife's family and they all live there too. They shut down the day room that is set up as recreation center and the 6th floor units don't have an oven only the stove top burners so the 6th floor tenants would use the oven that's in the day room. There is also the weight room that's supposed to be for tenant and manger uses the weight room for them and their families. Elevators are at least over a year expired and they constantly break down so mobile tenants can't get to their dialysis appointment and ext... So they end up dying there and wouldn't be found dead till 3weeks to 4 weeks. Elderly man decompose into his bed and his lady neighbor died from that elderly bad order. Another elderly lady died and her body fluids leak through the walls. That building has rodents, cockroaches, bed bugs, nats and ext.. the manager is also a Pastor. Another elderly man tenant that we know his family that came to visit him they told his granddaughter that he no longer lives there. Also that same man is Hawaiian and had lots of ancestor collectable

I lived here for 5 years 4 years were fine but then I started having problems with the business below me they control both the upstairs Apartments Heat the problem I'm having is is it supposed to be set at 68°, which is 72 upstairs the other night I woke up and it was 91 in here and I had a seizure and had to go to the emergency room the landlord told me I always have the option to move that the heat can't be messed with it was all in my head. I suffer from epilepsy and mental disabilities. The downstairs business will turn the heat off entirely when they open up their business and then when they leave they turn it up or off you never know which they're going to do and this last time they turned it up because we had the big holiday that way I would roast for 3 days and that's when I had my seizure. My landlord makes it sound like I'm trying to start a problem our heat is included in the rent what can I do besides move and don't forget I didn't have this problem for 4 years which the landlord will tell you something to do with how the heater set up and also I have all my heater vents blocked because of when he turns it up it would even be warmer than 91° if I hadn't....update the landlord Becky stocker refused to renew my monthly lease no reason why given so I'm living out of my car currently no where would let me file a complaint neither not health depth. Not hudd housing ,code enforcement, legal aid they all refused to help me over thus discrimination.

I like the part where she talks about acting fast when you get an eviction notice. Waiting or ignoring it is the worst thing you can do. I've gotten two eviction notices within the past three months. The first eviction was resolved because I immediately took the notice to the Rental Assistance Office, who paid my landlord the back rent that I owed her. I did the same thing with the second notice and I hope that will work out too. If not, I'll have to get all my papers together and defend myself in The Magistrate's Court, and I'm definitely NOT looking forward to that!

what constitutes "sole residence" in NYC?

@charliemountain82 2 года назад

I could really use some guidance. In Missouri, is it legal for a landlord to: A)Claim that an insurance company is coming through to "appraise the property", but instead, walk a potential buyer with no insurance affiliations through your residence in order to sell it to them? (Previous owner) B)Not answer phone calls? (Current owner) C)Mandate that all payments and maintenance requests go through an app? (current owner) (The complex is full of pensioners and elderly people that do not own smart phones. Some of these folks have lived here for 20+ years, always paying their rent in form of money order or check- now that, literally overnight, the place has changed hands, they no longer accept these forms of payment, stating that "it doesn't work that way anymore" and "if you don't have a smart phone, you should get one before the month is over".) These new landlords are snakes. They ostensibly use the tenants lack of a cell phone to deny them use of the laundry, the ability to request a repair, and/or pay their rent, but even the few people that submitted to the new changes say they still haven't been able to get a maintenance man to fix even the most basic plumbing issues. It seems to me that they have no intention of fixing anything anyways, and are simply waiting for our leases to expire. Help us out with any guidance you might have. Thank you to whomever can help.

Just taking my chances.. maybe someone can help me out and give me tips with what to do with my situation on the apartment we live in. So we basically had a fire that started from the kitchen, we were not sure if the fire started from what we were cooking or from the old stove that the apartment came with. But anyway, the property management told us that they are just gonna move us to another unit that they were fixing up, they said that it would be finished in 2-3 weeks and after that we can move in. Property management told us that the rent is gonna be a bit more since everything in that unit was renewed. We agreed and was looking forward to finally moving to that new unit. 1 month later and we are still in the same unit with a burned down kitchen unable to even cook or wash dishes due to the damage. We asked what's the update and they said it's almost done. We already packed out things and most are in boxes ready to go. 6 months later... still in the same unit with a burnt kitchen. No repairs whatsoever. Not to mention looking like a fool with all our stuff in boxes so now we always have to dig inside each box whenever we need the plates, clothes, etc everyday. Now it's almost gonna be a year and still nothing.. with a kitchen that can't be used to cook anything in.. and Im just frustrated with this whole thing that it seems like they're not taking us seriously and basically taking their time and do nothing while we pay rent every month while all we get is to live In this small apartment with no kitchen for almost a year. I just want to know if the management are in the wrong here and also our rights as renters. Bcs I have that feeling that we are not being treated right in this situation. Maybe somebody can give a little knowledge bcs I'm so close to resolving this situation my way we're people might get hurt that's for sure. Thanks in advance.. anything helps 👍✌️🙏

Question. I have an electrical issue in my apartment. They sent a technician out a week ago. The technician bought several LED lights. We tenants are responsible for tge bulbs. However, I didn't request the bulbs for the overhead light fixture in the kitchen. Anyway, when the technician went to open the breaker box, the hall light, came back on. He didn't have to replace that bulb. He also told me not to mention the 2 bulbs that he replaced in my kitchen. That evening, t b.f e lights were not still working. I reached out to the tech, no reply. I called the the property manager and told him the lights are still not working. He then tells me that I'm responsible for paying for the bulbs that were replaced in which I didn't request. I asked for the invoice and it was $55 for the 2 bulbs. The property manager decided to add that charge to my rent and the issue still hasn't been fixed! I sent the video to the property manager about the issue. After that, the company called to schedule an appointment to come out again. emailed him and told him that I was not able to pay for the charge because the problem was not fixed and that I didn't request those bulbs. I normally buy my own. My rent is due today. What should I do? By the way. My contract ends with the old landlord today bc a new landlord bought this property. I did renew my lease though.

YOU DO KNOW THAT YOU RENTED AN APARTMENT AND NOT A MOTEL RIGHT? The landlord is not responsible for replacing your lite bulbs.

I'm not easily rattled and yet I am crying as I type this. I've done all of these things, I have photos, I have everything in writing, I have no debts to my landlord. He will not fix anything. When I ask, he emails me stating that I am a problem, I'm being unrealistic, and I need to find another place to live. I don't have the money to move again (I've been here 2 months). He shows up unannounced despite my asking him not to do that, I work from home and he causes a disturbance, and he still will not repair anything when he comes over. I honestly believe he comes here when I am gone as well. Everything is documented. I cannot afford an attorney and I cannot afford to move. Any advice or feedback is welcome / thanks for reading.

@gisuzi5405 Год назад

If you can afford to pay rent which I suppect that your landlord is upset because you are NOT PAYING RENT, then you can afford to MOVE. So stop looking for pity and get yourself up and move.

@stasiacollins8285 Год назад

@@gisuzi5405 Interestingly enough I study linguistics and you type exactly like the douche nozzle landlord does. Stating something in ALL CAPS is a clear sign of possessing little to no compassion, which is the antithesis of a high value person. I am not seeking pity, I am seeking fairness, I am not surprised these things are so easily confusing to your type. I owe the con man nothing, not one red cent, and I have already relocated. I paid for the time I was there, I forfeited the deposit, I left the property. Despite all of this, I am still being invoiced for late fees, not the rent, To put this in terms you may understand, I am NOT at the rental property, I do NOT owe rent, yet this stalker wannabe con man is STILL invoicing me for LATE FEES. I highly suspect that YOU are said con man liar fraud landlord, as I do use my real name on this platform (unlike yourself) and you TYPE exacly as HE does with peppered CAPS and false assumptions.

What do you do except move out when you're living in a non-smoking community where there's smoking? And you're constantly telling the landlord that your apartment is still filled with cigarette smoke and they do nothing about it.

To whom it may concern , I moved into a broken down rental home that ended up actually being condemned , So the lease was written up by hand by the landlords son But his name is nowhere in the lease Heonly wrote it up with her their and us She signed it . So he is and should be out of the question We get a text from him saying to not take anything from The house when we leave…. Does he mean the walls, carpet, flooring , roofing , doors , windows , appliances, paint, Shower heads , You name it The son before he went to prison had made the house that his mother owned on the same property on his mother and everything it takes to make a Breanna Underwoodplace a liveable homestead because when I tell you guys the house has 19 holes in the walls, No toilets,sinks , fridge, washer dryer, I can a 4 ft long and wide whole in the ceiling where the living room and bedroom interior had huge piles of leaves and rain in 2 different rooms!!! The ac nor the heating unit never worked She gave him the money to fix it And he could do it himself So she asked for money back Her son went to school for fixing acs and they still to this day refuse to fix it for us , Still to this day that condemned disgusting rat infested ran down place is now a 3 bed 2 bath Home that he has spent the last 19 months n blood and tears and every penny he made from his 1st job to make sure we were not on the streets and Then the last message he wrote us was You better keep my mom out of this ! well she is the one on the lease he is taking her money and not giving it to her for rent , We cannot get ahold of her in anyway, She believes everything he says and hasn’t even seen the house since it has been Rebuilt, We do have pictures of the house before and after as well as affidavits from the contractors he had to hire for the work he couldn’t not complete on his own, when she states that she paid him for the money for the roof it was actually a check written to a contractor, The entire situation is a mess. If we had the money all at once we would not of put up with this but we had no choice nowhere to go , So that’s where we stand as of yesterday. We have steadily paid the 400 a month with no payback or monies taken off The day we pay our rent as of the 3rd we’re being told to get out . What did I go wrong ? please help!

Our landlord 3 weeks ago decided to sell. But, didnt tell us. I came home to see a real estate agent in the drive 3 days after it had already been listed. No 120 day notice of intent to sell. Since then they show the property with no notice and on a 2 hr noticed on 1 instant I declined but they still came - asking to see in the inside of the dwelling asap because these are potential buyers. Today they brought buyers at 10am on this Holiday weekend (Saturday) unanounced and the landlord just showed up shouting my name. Then again at 7:08pm... Also requested to show our place on Mothers day at 11am with a request at 8pm the day before. And every day a new viewings without notice. Update : Has given me a vacate to move against the covid washington state law in retaliation of asking for 24 HR notice to show. Has bribed me to have people see our home - because of no notice. Update: now threats forcefully remove our possessions and disconnect the utilities and demo the home in 17 days...

@gisuzi5405 Год назад

Landlords are angry because the laws are destoying their income ability. Restricting a landlord from being able to function in an open and free rental market makes it impossible for them to do repairs. That's why NY has just run down building...the taxes and insurance for owning rental property has made it impossible for landlords to make a living and still fix up the properties. Tenants don't get it.....rental laws destroy nice upkept appartments.

*I have kind of a complex question that I CANNOT find the answer to no matter how much I search google. So My issue is this: I live in New York, and rented from my previous landlord, lets call him E, and I now have a new landlord, lets call him C. Before C bought my building, E let me know that he "transferred my lease" to C. I paid first and last month's rent to E when I first moved in, but he didn't mention if he sent my last month's rent to C with the 'lease transfer'. I plan on moving out of new landlord C's apartment when the 1 year lease is up. Should I expect to not have to pay last month's rent my last month there? What happens if my previous landlord did NOT send my new landlord my last month's rent, and I am not able to get in contact with my old landlord to ask him if he did? Please help lol*

@studentofsmith 2 дня назад

If you paid last months rent when you moved in, and have proof of it, then you don't have to pay C last months rent. If C never received last months rent from E that's between C and E. It's the same story for your security deposit (if you paid one). After you move out C, as your current landlord, owes you the security deposit back, plus interest, minus any legitimate deductions regardless of whether C received that security deposit from E or not. It was C's responsibility, when they purchased the building, to ensure they collected the last months rent and/or security deposits for all the tenants in the building from the former owner. Their failure to do so cannot be made your problem as a tenant.

elder lady lives with elderly brother, on rent controlled apartment, has paid rent on time every month never has missed a payment nothing has been repair black mold forever 25 years she paints over and haven't asked to repair anything for fear or eviction. in the past 2 years landlord workers pass by and say...that apartment will be next because they may died any time. lately she took them to court to evict them and gave up after a couple month so free attorney said the case is close. But a few days later she send a request of $300 additional payment because of her court fees. all the rent money she keeps returning it back and now wants to do another eviction. this is the 3rd eviction she has filed new case. I don't live there but I am sick to my stomach for this situation. I don't understand why this is not resolved. I know the end game is to raise the rent since this is LA but this pair of elderly people have lived there for more than 40 years now. Any suggestions
