		<description>We thought our lease was up on aug 31st, but it was up on july 31st... we had already moved out far prior to our lease expiring but kept some things in the apt, some of them were stolen,probably after the lease ran out, was the landlord responsible for notifying us when he found that there were items left in the apartment? is he in any way responsible?

thanks</description>

		<description>can a apartment collect a debt after 8 months later?

The apartment owner said that I owe them $250 for a water bill, and for breaking the lease early which I did for the second year lease and I gave them the money to break the lease and which me and the apartment manager both sign and i did recieve a special deal which was given to me the first year only, I then stayed there for another year which i was paying the actual going rent. When I had signed the intent to vacate they manager stated that I owe the money to break the lease and that was the only money I owed them to move out. After the two months I was gone they then return my deposit fee.</description>

		<description>i have a landlord who constantly enters my apartment without anyone or myself present. She gives same day notices, and on top of that we are in the process of moving out while she's viewing my apartment to the public, with all items and things in it. We paid for this month. is she allowed to do this?</description>

		<description>on April 1st we have to give our landlord a 2 months noticed for vacancy. But we made a mistake by writting 5/1 instead of 6/1. They didn't notice us about the mistake and go on to list out our apt.
I do recognize its our mistake. If we have to move out on 5/1, do we have to pay the rent for the rest of mai even thu we CANT live there anymore and they have the right to rent it out?

Thankyou</description>

		<description>How can one apartmetn have so much power to lie and ruin your credit? My daughter lived in an apartment with her boyfriend. They were on the outs and he had her taken off the lease so he would be completely responsible so she could move out. The apartmetns told her several times she was no longer responsibnle for any rent. She moved in with family to save up some money. Now when she has found another apartment to move into she finds out the original apartment has sent her to collections for the entire lease. Over $10,000. Her boyfriend moved out and left state after receiveing an eviction notice that did not have her name anywhere on it. What a mess?</description>

		<description>my apartment ive lived in for 6 months is starting to give me major greif over theyre mistakes. i got a call saying to come to the office because they need proof of last months payment. i show them proof then they say it was the month before that that they need.i tell the lady ill have to find it.
i get to my apartment and not 30 minutes later i get a paper saying they want any proof i can provide of payment due to a virus. well,since i work 2 jobs i didnt get around to it and a week later i get an advance notice of intent to lock out with them suddenly saying i didnt pay my rent from months back.
 so i go in there immediately and ask the office people what kind of crap are you trying to pull? i then proceeded to show them my printout id gotten from the office the previous month showing that rent wasnt due anymore on that month and that omission was my proof. of course the lady in the office says no it must be a money order receipt to which i retort this paper says any proof i can provide so here it is. the lady refused to make a copy of it for their records.
 yesterday i get a new note; dear resident we are doing routine record back ups and need you to provide proof of rent for the past 8 months plus they want copies of the cashed money order and the name of payee endorsee of each or they will find me in violation. they have given me 48 hours to provide all this!</description>

		<description>So, does anyone know how this can be helped? .. I am a current renter at JM rentals in Fargo ND. I have been a tenant here for about 2 years. I initially started of in a single apartment by myself and then moved right next door with my best friend and boyfriend. We have had no problems with them until recently. I was on my early spring break vacation and not in this state. I called before letting them know that I would be gone and tried to clarify a letter we had recieved about our rent increasing in addition to paying our own electrocity. We now only pay one monthly fee that includes everything. I was concerned with this because our lease ends at the end of April and was curious if it would affect us. I called in and also asked about when our 60 day notice should be in. The landlord led me to believe if I turned it in early, then we would have to vacate the premasis early also, early april. So my return from spring break was the 1st, which was a Sunday. On Monday, we delivered the notice by hand. They sent us a letter saying that we could not leave until the end of May. This is a huge problem because I have a job set up for the beginning of May in the twin cities (4 hours away) and a home set up. Not only that but so do my roomates. They all have different places and different job locations. I gave her the notice and told her that I and my roomates would be gone so we could not turn it in. She said to me that I could have put it in with my rent check. But, if we would have done that, the rent was put in on that Sunday, the 1st. They would not have recieved our thing until the 2nd anyway. I do not feel we should be penalized for a day late. Plus I have referred 3 different people, who are currently renting here, to live here, Never been late on a monthly payment, pay months in advance, and have never had a complaint. I feel hurt and very frusterated. All of our parents took off time from work to help us move and we have jobs, new homes, and other things riding on this. Can they do this? Especially since I informed her before that we would be out, she clearly understood, and yet is now being rude? I understand they cant be bending rules and what not for people a few days late but even if they would have got it in with our rent check for the 1st, the main office would not have gotten it until the 2nd. We have 5 other lives that this is affecting because of requested time off and so on. As you can see I am extremely frutserated. Any comments?

		<description>I'm 19 and today I went to the apartment complex pegasus pointe near ucf with my friends and their parents. They signed all their leases and paid for everything. I signed everything and signed the lease but I did not fill out my guarantor paper which I need because I do not even have a job. I also did not pay anything. The lady in the office told us that now we had signed the lease, that we could not back out and if we did we would have to pay a $350 fee and find a replacement tenant. Does this apply to me still even though I didn't pay or have my guarantor comply? I want to get out of it but I'm afraid that they won't let me</description>

		<description>Hey! 

Me and my roommate decided to move to a larger apartment last week, and after much looking we found the perfect complex. We were shown apartment #13, but it already had someone elses deposit on it. They were showing us #13 to say this is how #10 would look, which was freeing up next week. So, we were like well #13 was awesome, so yes. And put a deposit down. 

#10 is a hellhole. The floors are half-rotten, dipping down when you step on them, the carpet is disgusting, it doesn't have a microwave (the other had a VERY LARGE and high quality microwave), the appliances were old (they were new in the other apartment), and that wasn't it. She lady assured us that they would work on it and have it up to a livable standard. The only way I'd feel comfortable living there is if they redid the entire flooring, all the carpet's and painted over the walls. (Did I mention the place smelt like animal piss?). Even with all that, what about the appliances? The refrigerator is almost half as small as the one in the other place. 

I don't want that place, and the land-lady said to bad, you already put a deposit down. Either you move in or forfeit the deposit. I told her we would not move into that place in the condition it was in, and wanted our deposit back and she said if she could get someone to rent it in the next 10 or so days, then she'd give it back. 

Should I be entitled to get it back? Because the property was misrepresented.</description>

		<description>I just went to drop off my rent. It's Jan 4th. There's a note on the drop off box saying "Your rent is now late. Please send a cashier's check and an additional $50." Is this legal?</description>

		<description>Whatever happened with "mike", you had no legal duty to give him back anything.  This was NOT your problem and should not have been dumped on you.
Hope you stood your ground and told "mike" to bug off.</description>

		<description>My GF and I live in a trailer that she owns and we rent the lot it sits on, we have had the same dog for almost 5 years now and he has been approved by all previous managers. We recently got a new manager and she says get rid of the dog or you're evicted. Do we have any options?</description>

		<description>I need some input... I have lived in this apartment for a year and a half now and this last Saturday I washed my new comfortor cover and sheets in the washer and now their are grease and oil stains all over them. I brought this up to my apartment manager on Monday and told her what had happend and reminder her how i brought up this problem when i had it about 5 months ago. I asked her if there is anyway she might be able to replace them by cutting a check or taking the amount off my rent for the month so I can buy new ones. She told me "No" there is nothing she is going to do and that it is something to file under renters insurance.
Only problem is renters insurance does not cover such things that are a problem due to lack of maintenance. I cannot find anything in the Minnesota Renters-Landlord Law that directly reflects this does anyone have some imput for me before I contact the management group who owns this building?</description>

		<description>it is illegal for a landlord to have other utilities that are for other tenants use as your responsibilty without ever telling you of this. if you are paying for other tenants utilities and that was never discussed and agreed upon by you and the landlord and it was without your knowledge, then you can sue the landlord and also the landlord can be criminally charged for this.</description>

		<description>as i told the other, when you rent from someone you have the right to have friends, family, business, sales or service people etc. over for a respectable period of time unless it is stated in a written and signed lease that you cant.</description>

		<description>when you are renting from someone ( a room or an apartment, same thing, you still have the same rights) you are allowed to have visitors such as family or friends over for a respectable period of time. or any business, sales, service, people etc.. unless it is stated in a written, signed lease that this is not allowed. so if its not in the lease tell them to fuck off!!!!</description>
