What are my legal options when I have a deposit return on a rental in all 3 tenants names?

Answered 13 years and 10 months ago by William/J Joanis (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
If more money were involved, you would pay it into court.  That is not available here.  You cannot cash the check, so you are put in a difficult position.  I'd try to find thee people.  Facebook, etc., is where I'd start.  Next I'd go back to the landlord and see if you can get the check split into three equal parts.  The landlord has no obligation or reason to do so and only exposes itself by doing so, but it is worth the call....

My landlord doesnt have a rental license, what do i do? Will I loose all the money I have spend in rent, deposit and fixing this house up

Answered 14 years and 6 months ago by William/J Joanis (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Your landlord not having a rental license is a problem: for your landlord.  I don't see why would this change what you have paid in rent.  To the extent you have a deposit, that is not changed by the landlord having a license.  The obligation to safeguard your deposit is a state law and independent of the licenses the cites can require.  As far as the work you have done, that is another issue.  We have several cases we are pursuing for people who have made contributions to the houses of other people and have hired us to recover the money they are out....

there was a home for rent on craigslist I was in contact with owner to rent it,he transferred to AL for work.Tax records say he is the owner(county)

Answered 14 years and 6 months ago by William/J Joanis (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
You did everything about as carefully as you could.  I think the lessor is acting very strange.  If he had a broker and was using Craigslist to avoid paying the broker, which is what it sounds like, that is just so wrong.  You could sue him, but because of the amount it will probably be conciliation court.  It sounds like consumer fraud, so you may be able to get the landlord to pay your attorney's fees if you go that way.  Talk to his lawyer first, and get your $300 back....

If your contract lets them charge it, they can.  If the contract is silent, they should not be able to do so.  What does your contract say?  If you want us to look at it for free, just send us a pdf copy.
