Problems with management
Hi
My landlord recently sold the property to a management place. When he gave the contracts to the new owners, he did not give the the right rental agreement. I was asked by the new people to fax them a copy of the contract i have. and I did. Now they are accusing me of altering the rental contract which i have not done. I have taken down the original that i have, and now they have given me a 30 day notice. I have done no wrong. The old landlord kept poor paperwork and iinstead of writing a new contract just corrected the old one. I dont know what to do and am scared that I am losing my home. The new management still says my rent is higher than what the contract says. and they have penalized me with fees sayin i hadnt paid all my rent, but they have never notified me that it wasnt paid either. My rent has been 300.00 per month. The old landlord dropped my rent cause i have my own refridgerator, and have supplied my own mini-blinds, I also do not have a garbage disposal like the other tenants do. so please help, i have no idea what to do…

Is Landlord responsible belongings stolen from house I rent a room in
My college daughter rents a bedroom in a house. The house was broken into and her laptop and digital cameras were stolen. Is the landlord responsible in any way for these items? I (her mom) actually pay the rent to the owner of the house. His daughter also lives in the house. We have no written rental agreement.

Tenant Uses Deposit for Rent and Then Stays
My California tenant on a month to month rental room, failed to come up with the full deposit and then used the 400.00 he put up for deposit for half of his rent on the 2nd month. He was supposed to move out but was turned down on the place he was moving to. He then pays full rent on time for 3-4 months while ”trying to find a place”. Now he is smoking in the room which is forbidden in his rental agreement and has no deposit to secure the new paint needed when he moves out. I just received his July rent in cash (no receipt issued). I once again insisted that he pay the deposit (800.00) or move out. I want to apply the 800.00 toward his long-outstanding deposit and give him a Three Day Notice for the rent. Can I?
rental agreement v.
rental agreement v. state law
My landlord has kept my security deposit based on damages that were there when I moved in (he was the previous tenant and knows I didn’t cause the damage).Unfortunately, I neglected to take pictures of the apartment prior to moving in that would prove I didn’t cause the damage.My rental agreement stated that he had 30 days to return my deposit or send a letter stating the reasons for withholding part/all of the deposit, which I of course signed.I surrendered the apt. on 10/31 and his letter is postmarked 11/30.ME state statute says that he has 21 days to send the letter or the deposit b/c I was an ”at-will” tenant or he forfeits any right to keep the deposit, as far as I understand (Title 14, Chapter 710-A, 6033).I would like to take him to small claims court to get the deposit back but am not sure whether me signing the rental agreement overrides the state law.Please help!
When a General District Court Judge grants immediate possession of a rental…
When a General District Court Judge grants immediate possession of a rental that is thirty days at a time and nothing in writing; can the renter file an appeal for ten days to come up with bond money? The renter did not appear in court, there has been extensive late pays of almost every month, money has not been received since December, 2009 and they place the elctric bill in their name against the owners wishes. The Judge would not grant any money for the agreement of snow removal, cutting and use of wood and possible theft thereof because nothing was in writing. Again, the rental agreement is verbal only for thirty days and has been in effect since June where they received two weeks free for cleaning. I took the immediate possession decision and his vacate of that family within seventy-two hours to the clerk’s office for the writ, paid, and she decided they would deliver that to the Nelson County Police Department instead of me. I did stop in there and told them of this. I then went back to the clerk’s office where the tenants were standing there and paying for an appeal?????? They police have been contacted regarding messages that have been left, someone coming to this door demanding money they owe and even stating that if I “do not get them off this property someone is going to get killed”. They have accused the owner of taking out some type of criminal something against myself, who he left in charge and I have and do take care of all of the owner’s business for the most part. I took that to the Magistrate also. Then in court I had to wait 15 minutes for them and we had court without them. I attempted to tell the Judge all of these situations and hoped at least one of the Officer’s had enlightened him in the interium.
Can they actually file an appeal with nothing in writing and the granting of an immediate possession?
