Landlord-tenant question...?

I'd maybe set some ground rules. She is right in saying that she is paying rent however I guess she should respect that she is living in your property. Certainly in the UK, tenants do not really have all that many rights if they are living with the landlord in the same property.\n\nThe bottom line is that it is your property and it should be your rules, sounds a bit harsh but your tenant should accept that.

That depends on state and county. You need a lawyer. Next time don't rent without having a lawyer draft you a lease agreement and getting the tenant to sign it.

Rental laws vary from state to state.  Usually you are required to give some amount of notice to a tenant prior to entering the property for non-emergancy reason. \n\nAlso, check the rental agreement to see if it says anything about the upkeep of the property.  If she is required to maintain the property in a certain way and she is not it might be grounds for eviction.  \n\nI suggest you look on Google for your state's housing laws and tenant's rights.

It will probably be a seperate bill. You should ask the landlord.

can you charge them for miss conduct? they promised to do a job they haven't done?\n\nis it the agencies responsibility to clear mess left by a tenant? isn't that why private tenants pay security deposits?\n\nask a solicitor, you will get 30Min's free from some. nothing is worse than a ripped off feeling, i do hope you get sorted soon and maybe you should raise your security deposits to cover any losses in the future. there are some really nasty people out there.

Let the potential landlord know your situation.  Also, they tend to look at the score only, not the actual report.\n\nWorse comes to worse, offer additional security deposit.

If they are paying the rent directly to the landlord, then the landlord was notified when they moved in.  In that case, a new lease SHOULD have been drawn up with all three of your names on it and all three signatures.  Otherwise, YOU are taking full responsibility for any and all damages to the house.  Not a good idea.\n\nBut since yours IS the only signature and you are taking full responsibility, you are within your rights to ask them to vacate the property.  They have no legal rights to be there if they don't have a lease.

you own the property. the renter has no rights to the property, except as stated in the lease. all repairs and maintenance are landlords responsbility.

I asked this question myself when I hired a Property Management Co. to rent out a house of mine. I thought a lease would be best for me when renting my home out. I ended up renting month to month because the management Co. explained that although you have a signed lease the owner has to show do diligence in leasing/renting out the property if the tenant leaves early. They had said a judge would look for the owner to perform before any judgement againt the tenant for failure to meet conditions of lease.\n      I would recommned you discuss with whomever you signed the lease with (if you haven't) and see if you can end the terms amicably. Also, consult with a real estate attorney so you can be well versed in your rights if you can not solve this matter to the satisfaction of both parties.

no they cant ask for additional deposits if you have a lease sounds to me like someone is scamming you ,call the head office and ask for owner or the person under him let him no what the manager is doing ,you can also go to the library and get a book called The Landlord and Tenant Book it has a lot of interesting things in it

Personally if they are newer tenants I'm at their door on the second of the month asking where the rent is.  If I do that a couple of times they seem to get the message.\n\nBe careful with late payment fees.  Many states control the earliest you can charge them and how much you can charge.  I too tried the idea of a discount if rent is received by the first and a small claims judge ruled that it was a transparent late fee that was charged too early, cost me about $225 including court costs.\n\nIf the tenant isn't on a lease (which I never do) and they are often late - raise the rent.\n\nIn my humble experience leases only protect the tenant and provide the landlord very little advantage.  The tenants usually don't have that much to lose, and it's not worth my time to chase them for less that $1,500

You might have to evict them.\n\nEviction is a legal process by which a landlord forces a tenant or other occupant to move out of the landlord's property involuntarily and usually permanently. Legal terms for eviction include summary possession and unlawful detainer.\nIn most areas, landlords can evict tenants at the end of a lease term without cause. In other areas, there are just cause eviction controls or "just cause" laws, which require that a landlord give a reason for eviction. The most common reasons such as nonpayment of rent or damaging the property are typically considered cause for eviction.\nThe requirement of notice also varies; in some areas, landlords must post an official eviction notice on the property a certain number of days before the tenant can be forced off the property. In some areas the landlord must get the police to post this notice.\nSome jurisdictions require the landlord to obtain a court order before a tenant can be evicted. This usually involves filing a lawsuit in the local eviction court, which is then heard by a judge, magistrate, or referee. If the landlord is found to have a just cause for eviction, the tenant is given a specified number of days in which to move. If he fails to do so, some jurisdictions allow the landlord to take possession immediately, while others require a peace officer (sheriff, bailiff, police officer) to be present for the set-out.\nEviction law varies widely from state to state, and sometimes county to county or city to city. Any landlord faced with a tenant they must evict, or a tenant faced with a threat of eviction, should seek legal counsel to determine the practice in their community and their respective rights and obligations.

If the "trespass" is the owner,owner's immediate family, it is OK. ,but I have always found good landlords notify their tenants. If it is anyone else, save your "face" and put up a NO TRESPASS sign,in a visible place. But as a tenant, it is always better to keep the peace. The trespasser may be a neighbour who has taken the "short-cut" through the property for years! Use your better judgement. In a "leased" property, you must READ the Terms and Conditions to know your legal rights. Didn't you do that before you signed? If you have no written lease, then your "shit-out-of-luck"!

I don't know what city or state you're from...but if you live in California..we have some very tight restrictions about landlords bilking tenants...first and foremost document everything...second hire an atty...may cost you some $$$ but it sounds like you can sue for initial money back plus some...good luck

Since this is a holiday weekend you probably wont get a response.  Wait until Monday and handle it with the property management company.  There is nothing they can do over the weekend anyways.  This is not an emergency situation that just occured, you have been dealing with this issue for a few weeks. Now it's time to take it to a higher level with the other tenants behind you first thing Monday morning.  If the problems do not get fixed with in a timely matter talk to your local landlord-tenant association and you might be able to with hold rent for December.  Good Luck!!!
