Can our landlord evict us if we don't switch from kerosene to propane?

This could be covered by your local or state laws. See someone at City Hall. In some areas a neighborhood association can help.

there's most likely a clause in the lease saying they can enter when they deem it necessary, like putting out a fire if you're not there, or checking for a reported problem when you're gone.  he's probably just abusing this.  either deal with it or suck it up and move.

Is this an appliance that you provided them?  If so you do have to pay to fix it, but since they're breaking the contract why don't you try to evict them if you have proof that there are more people living there than are on the lease.  You could also raise their rent based on the amount of people they've got living there.

if you get sick because of their smoking and your home was agreed upon in a lease agreement to be non smoking then you are in the right and you need to make that aware to your landlord. Tell him you are getting progressively sicker and wheezier because of their smoking and you think that you might end up with an ashtma attack and mabye that will spin his ass into action. Your landlord is being lazy and he should be evicting those tenants because it is endangering your health to be around smoke. Tell your landlord they are also smoking dope and that is illigal and you dont feel comfertable in your own home because the drug smell is giving you a headache or some crap. Lay into your landlord its his job to take care of these people. Yes not only should you write it down when you smell smoke be a royal pain in the ass and ask them not to smoke in there by knocking on their door and telling them you can barely breath and could they kindly stop smoking before you have an asthma attack. Then write it down and call your landlord and let him know everytime you have had to go up there to ask them to stop.\n\nIf your place of rent was listed as non smoking and he has an agreement with them not to smoke and its part of a lease then you have every right to make it stop.

Not unless he wants to.\n\nChances are since you are responsible for the heating bill he won't. On the other hand if utilities were included he might consider since it would come out of his pocket.\n\nAll you can do is ask. Maybe you should look around for something more economical.

First, I sure get tired of folks responding to questions as if they were text messaging you; I wonder if they can properly spell anything. Second, each state has slightly different laws regarding personal property and tenancy. I also have a feeling you left a few details out; the owner of the property where your "house" or trailer was/is sitting on, is a rented space to you (Lessee) owned by the Lessor.  You must have recieved multiple notices regarding the issue of your back lot rent, and THEN it went to Small Claims Court.  The Judge in Small Claims must have had your "paid up" receipts of record, (if you bothered to show up)or not-if not, the Lessor (owner of the property) would have won the small claims case, then she/he (Lesor)would have had an additional request, through another court, at another date later, to request seizure of your property to pay the back owed bills.***** They can only do this if they have proved you had received Notices of these actions.**** The only way they could have had the utilities turned off is if they ended up owning YOUR property in this very legal way.

You can use just about any flammable gas.  I used to run our lawnmower from a small bottle of propane just for fun.  With a car it's much tricker because the engine changes speed and you have to somehow change the flow of gas.  You can buy refit kits for propane for many cars, am guessing that hydrogen is available too.  The trick with H is not introducing into the engine, but trying to keep it in storage for use.  It does not like to liquify, so very high pressures have to be used to keep any amount of it.

You will have to check Montana Landlord Tenant law.  Does your lease spell out who pays for utilities?  If lease states Landlord pays, then he cannot shut off utilities even if you don't pay your rent.

Retrieve your copy of the rental agreement. Go through it, and there will be a section which should specify the division of liability for general house-keeping and repairs. I'm quite sure that pipes are considered part of the structure of the house, and are therefor the responsibility of the landlord, and not yours.\n\nYour best option is to issue a demand notice. State your claim for the money, and say that you will take the matter to the County (or equivalent) court if the money is not received in 14 days. She should know (especially if this is not her only property) the rules and regulations for construction issues. A simple threat is likely to yield results.

The law that governs eviction is Fla. Stat. § 83.59 (2005)\nwhich basically says that A landlord can only evict through court proceedings, he cannot just give you a notice he has to sue(although the suit will be on the fast track) you. Basically if you refuse to move out Landlord cannot use self help to throw you out -- that will be assault, and he will need a court order to have a sheriff come and kick you out legally.\n\nHere is the statute in full: \nRight of action for possession\n\n\n   (1) If the rental agreement is terminated and the tenant does not vacate the premises, the landlord may recover possession of the dwelling unit as provided in this section.\n\n(2) A landlord, the landlord's attorney, or the landlord's agent, applying for the removal of a tenant shall file in the county court of the county where the premises are situated a complaint describing the dwelling unit and stating the facts that authorize its recovery. A landlord's agent is not permitted to take any action other than the initial filing of the complaint, unless the landlord's agent is an attorney. The landlord is entitled to the summary procedure provided in s. 51.011 [F.S. 1971], and the court shall advance the cause on the calendar.\n\n(3) The landlord shall not recover possession of a dwelling unit except:\n\n   (a) In an action for possession under subsection (2) or other civil action in which the issue of right of possession is determined;\n\n   (b) When the tenant has surrendered possession of the dwelling unit to the landlord; or\n\n   (c) When the tenant has abandoned the dwelling unit. In the absence of actual knowledge of abandonment, it shall be presumed that the tenant has abandoned the dwelling unit if he or she is absent from the premises for a period of time equal to one-half the time for periodic rental payments. However, this presumption shall not apply if the rent is current or the tenant has notified the landlord, in writing, of an intended absence.\n\n(4) The prevailing party is entitled to have judgment for costs and execution therefor.

Check with the city's Energy Office (might have a different name but every city has a similar agency). They can offer short-term assitance to folks who can't pay their energy bills.  That will at least keep the lights on.\n\nAs far as the previous landlord, there is not much you can do.  His defense will be that you could have simply overpaid your monthly electric bill to avoid getting caught short; in fact, the electric company where I live actually recommends doing that, if you get to your third month with an estimated reading. Since he's not the landlord any more, you can't really go back in time and force him to let the utility companies have access to the meters. And technically it's not his fault for your getting behind in the bills because your bill states if it is an estimated or actual reading; it's common knowledge that estimated readings are always too low and months of them could take a bite out of your pocket; and you were always welcome to overpay the bills.

This is a tough one.  Depending on your state your rights are different.  For example in NY (which is very anti landlord) your lease would be upheld until building hell freezes over. I'm not quiet sure who is buying the house (the owners are usually the landlords) but either way, you - the tenant- will get inherited and they can't get rid of you until sept at least.\n\nRival

It depends on where you live. In Nevada, you have to advise the landlord of the problem, in writing. Be ready to prove that you gave her the notice (keep a copy, send it certified, return receipt requested). Once she receives the notice, she has 48 hours to fix the problem. This would be true for "essential services" only, things like refrigerator, stove, air conditioning, but not for things like dirty carpet or a broken television. If she doesn't fix the problem, you could file a complaint with HUD or you could file a lawsuit.\n\nWhatever you do, don't just move out, especially if you are under a lease agreement. If you break a lease, you will be the one paying.\n\nGood luck, I hope this helps.

Of course you have the right to move out, but for some reason Yo! (see above) thinks that it is ok for landlords to break the law, but not for people to break the law by coming to the US without a visa. I guess if you have money, like a landlord, you can break the law.  But if you are an immigrant who couldn't afford to come to the US legally, you can't. She is such a hypocrite.  But, I digress....\n\nUnless the landlord informed you that as a condition of renting the property you would be paying for communal utilities, it is illegal for the landlord to advertise the second unit as including the utilities that you pay for.  The landlord legally has to do one of three things:\n\n1) Not allow the second unit residents to use the pool, washer or dryer.\n2) Landlord needs to pay for the utilities for your gas, water and electric bills (since they are not on separate meters, needs to pay for all of it)\n3) The landlord needs to put the pool, washer and dryer on a seperate meter and pays only for the utilities incurred on that meter(s). \n\nI hope that helps.  You shouldn't have to move just because your landlord is unethical.  But it is illegal to make you pay for services he is selling to someone else.\nThe landlord doesn't necessarily need to pay for the pool supplies if those are optional supplies, but the landlord does not have the right to remove any of the above services since they were marketed to you as part of the rental package.  If the landlord removes amenities, it is a reduction in service and you likely have the right to a reduction in rent.\n\nJust becuase you don't own your property doesn't mean you don't have any rights.  \n\nGood luck!

You have the right to leave the apartment, that's about it.  With no lease, if you piss the landlord off, he probably will just send you packing.
