Do we still have to pay for the remaining lease if the damage deposit has not been used up yet?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by Andrew D. Larson-Wille (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers
The landlord can only demand money from the money remaining in the estate of your brother (and it sounds like he has none), not any of you individually. Tell him to try to make a claim on the estate.

The estate and not the heirs are liable for any rent. Assuming that it was more than a month to month lease, the landlord is entitled to his damages from the breach of the lease, but most courts would find that to be a reasonable time in which to find a new tenant. By going onto the property, with the implied permission of your brother-in-laws estate, you were doing a service for the landlord in cleaning up the property. There was no intention to harm the property nor to do anything the landlord would not approve of, so there would be no basis to claim you were trespassing. The landlord is blowing smoke to get more in rent money.... Read More

Can I sue my landlord for pain and suffering?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
No. You can sue for not giving you quiet enjoyment of your premises, but that probably won't give you much money. I suggest you call the county health inspector.

The electricity goes to the house that the landlord owns, so I don't' have a problem with that. However, if you still live in the home and he is obliged to provide water, he may be breaking state law if he did it before he evicted you. Call legal aid.

Can I back out of leasing my house before tenants move in?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
I would have to look at the lease you signed with them, and would further suggest if you now know where he is going to be transferred and there is no reason not to be there, go through with the rental and move to a residence near his new station.

What legal action if any could I take to persuade them to sign an easement?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by Brandon Augeen Kalasho (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers
This is more of a property question. It may not be possible to force them into allowing an easement. You might offer them a payment of some sort to allow for the easement. I would recommend consulting a Real Estate attorney to draft that paperwork allowing for an easement. More information is needed to determine if other methods can be used for the easement due to the landlocked status.... Read More

WHat is the best option for people living in an RV on vacant property without roghts or permission?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by Scott Kemble Wilson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
If you can't get the police to get them off, then you need to go the eviction route, which will result in the sheriff standing by while you tow the RV off the property ( if they will not drive away). If they come back post eviction the police will probably enforce the trespassing law. ("Leave or be arrested') .... Read More

What can I do if my landlord gave us such short notice to vacate the property?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers
Generally he only has to give you 30 days notice. Unless you breached the lease by non payment then he only has to give 7 days. Now if you do not vacate in that time he has the right to take you to court to evict you. If you pay rent fully and make a good faith attempt to move you probably have another 30 to 60 days....

Can I be evicted if I owe landlord money but I have been paying towards the balance?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers
He can evict if you are behind but better yet, contact him IN WRITING and copy him on the letter that "housing" sent you. Tell him that you are placing your rent in escrow (and actually do it) until the repairs are complete. If he files to evict you show the JUDGE the letter from housing and your letter telling the landlord you are withholding rent until the repairs are complete. You may be evicted anyway but you will be able to stretch the time frame out a significant amount of time.... Read More
