MY landlords notified me 12/31/2010 that my rent would be raised, and are saying that on 01/01/2011 I would have to pay the increased rent.  According to the law I had to be notified within 30 days, and was not.  They are now saying they put a note on my door on 11/08/2010 notifying me […]

Tenant | Friday, February 8th, 2013 5:24 pm

The security deposit is usually equivalent to a month’s worth of rent.  In some cases, it could be higher.  The tenant laws are available to make sure that we could get our security deposit back once we decide to move out.  But the use of the security deposit depends on each state.  For instance, in […]

Landlord skimmed on returning full deposit

Machel Rucker | Friday, February 8th, 2013 2:47 pm

We rented a house in July 2011.  In October 2011, I was told by the Management Company that the owner wants to short-sale the home.  We were pissed, because we felt that the owner should have never rented the property if they were unsure they were going to be able to handle the responsibility of […]

Empty Promises to Fix things

Chelsea | Thursday, February 7th, 2013 10:09 pm

I’m not entering week four of my battle with my landlord to fix the humidity level of my apartment. I bought a humidity reader that has read as high as 79% humidity. This high level of humidity has caused me to break out in a skin rash and has started to ruin my belongings. I […]

When can I legally terminate the lease agreement?

Tenant | Wednesday, February 6th, 2013 10:26 pm

When entering into a lease agreement, I don’t really pay attention to its clauses.  All I’m interested in is to move and get settled in to my new apartment.  A few months after I moved in, problems would start to come out and depending on the intensity of the problems, I would like to have […]
