How to reduce the costs of early lease termination

Tenant | Wednesday, February 20th, 2013 8:03 pm

The problem with signing a lease is that it keeps you in one place for a year. And believe it or not, circumstances just push you to break your lease and go. That’s what happened to me. When I didn’t sign a lease (with my old apartment), I stayed there for 7 years – there […]

In my lease the landlord stated that they would provide internet service. They haven’t provided service in over a month and just sent me an email stating they would no longer be providing the service. Is this a violation on their part?

Understanding the many different kinds of deposits tenants pay

Tenant | Tuesday, February 19th, 2013 10:16 pm

There seems to be so many horror stories circulating about deposits. But most of them can be traced back to a lack of education on the different deposits asked prior to moving in. So I’ve compiled a list of all deposits, what they are and whether they are refundable or not. I hope this helps […]

Cigarette Smoke in the Apartment

Tenant | Tuesday, February 19th, 2013 7:55 pm

Secondary smoke can cause a whole lot of complications. That is why states have crafted laws that prohibit cigarette smoking in some areas. For apartments, the law is not yet very clear so the decision would come from your landlord. You cannot break the lease because of the smoke, (sorry to break that to you). […]
