Psycho roommate
Prior to moving to Sacramento from Utah, my future roommates and I made several agreements. My roommate (RM) said he loves children and that there would be no problem so I moved. Since then, my RM got angry with my child and told him, “I never want to see you again.” and other hurtful things. I was forced to send him to his father. My RM eats my food, disrespects and uses my property, enters my room, dictates phone usage, and is just down right mean. Apparently there was a lease but it had run out months ago and is now a month to month. My RM has ordered me to move out but I don’t have the money. Yesterday he called the landlord telling him that the living conditions with me are unliveable in an effort to kick me out. Also my RM has broken the rule of no pot smoking in the house.

Does he have a right to kick me out? Do I have civil remedies for being forced to send my son away due to the hostile environment? Do I have any remedies at all for his use of my things, eating of food and constant harassment? Can his drug usage be a reason for immediate removal from the property? Does he have a right to dictate common areas, for instance, phone usage, smoking of cigarettes, television usage, etc.?

We’re renting and our house has been foreclosed. How fast do we have to be out and do we still have to pay rent? The owner of our house had it foreclosed on him and we are or were month to month renters. Now the bank that bought the house wants us out and says we have to pay rent as long as we stay. But obama past the new law giving renters 90 days until they must leave. My question is in my case do I actually have 90 days to move and do I have to continue paying to the new owner? How can we be expected to have the money to move if we aren’t even given one month to save and find a place? –

Security Deposit – Statute of Limitation for Claim
I understand that the statute of limitation for written contracts (i.e. written leases) are 4 years, but when does the statute begin to run? I signed a 2 year written lease for a rental, when that expired it automatically went to a month to month. I moved out 7 years after the lease was initially signed (the landlord requested that we vacate since she was selling the house), and the landlord never returned our deposit, nor provided us with any documentation why she was keeping our deposit. It is now just over 2 years since we moved out (and I just found out about the laws governing security deposits). Am I still within my rights to take her to court, if necessary, to get back our deposit?

I want to move out of my apartment, but am on a year lease with a roomate
I would like to move out of my apartment, but am on a year lease. My roomate and I have been having problems prior to this. Now she wants me to pay all the whole rent to break the lease. We currently split it 60/40. She also expects me to pay the dsl bill which is on a one year lease.

Am I legally obligated to pay the whole rent/cancellation, and not just my portion? Am I also liable to pay for the dsl, that she signed on for a year (w/o my knowledge, I was under the impression it was month to month)?
