landlord and tenant
My rental agreement covers a term of month to month and a monthly rent amount. That’s it. I rent a 3 + 2 house with big front yard and back yard. gardner and water included. The house is 30+years old. Is there any maintenance or extermination costs that the landlord has to cover or is it at his discression. I have been in the house for 2 1/2yrs. Do I have a legal option to pay and deduct from rent?

Denied Rental Agreement
I recently applied for an apartment. I was told that I was denied because of my credit score. However, I did not receive a letter of adverse action based on credit or told which credit bureau they used. Shouldn’t I have at least received this information? Is there anything else they aren’t providing?

banking fees taken out of my security account which was placed in escrow
Twelve years ago we paid a half months rent-$250.00-as a security deposit for the apartment in which we still live (the landlord lives downstairs and we rent the second floor).Our rental agreement states the amount of deposit and that it had been put in escrow.
The house was sold recently and our landlord said she would be returning the deposit.She then informed us the bank had no record of the deposit and she was looking into the matter-she said she was finally informed that when the bank changed hands about ten years ago they placed new minimums on all accounts and since the escrow account did not meet the minimum it was eaten up by assorted usage and non-usage fees.The bank offered her $125.00 and she declined the offer and filed a complaint with the attorney-generals office.
She has offered to return the amount of deposit and the $50.00 or so it would have accumulated which is fine with us -my question is -did the bank have the right to do as they did and if not what are my options in filing or pursuing a complaint of any sort.

I’m renting a room from landlords who own the house (but they do not reside in the house). We signed a Rental Agreement contract in the Summer of ’09. I lost my personal copy of the contract. I’ve requested a copy of the contract via phone from my landlords, but they tell me “Yes” nor did they grant my request. In the state of CA, must the landlord provide an additional copy of the Rental contract if the tenant requests it? Thank you.

Rental agreement changed for court
Is there any reason my ex landlord would have changed a rental agreement from 6 months to 12 months before submitting it to a judge during a court case? He also changed the rent amount from 1300 to 1100. I’m stumped as to why he would do that. I never received notice of the trial because he had notices sent to an old address even though I had given him a copy of my new address and phone number. He also had my direct work number and had even called me there.
