Can my landlord take my dog away for barking? tenant right, breaking the lease help!?
I moved into a new apartment 2 weeks ago and I just got a letter from the manager that I need to get rid of my dog within 3 days or he will. What happened was, one of the neighbors complained about my dog's barking and scratching issue, and even called a police last week. I think my dog barked and scratched the door while I was gone for work. That time, the manager just gave me a warning. But the neighbor complained again yesterday. When I got my first warning, I took my dog to my parents house and left her there for a few days, and just brought her back yesterday. I don't know for how long my dog barked, but I was out from 3 pm to 10 pm. My dog didn't bark as I walked out and walked in. My concern is, there's no way I'm going to get rid of my dog, and if I can't have my dog with me, there's no reason for me to live there. The only reason I moved there was because it was pet friendly. Now that the manager's threatening me, I would like to find a new place and move out. But then I would be breaking the lease. While I try to find a new place, can my landlord forcefully take my dog away? Also is there a way to break the lease without harming my rental credit and get my full deposit back? Thank you!
Landlord/Tenant Question?
My landlord/owner of the property told us that he is going to do surprise monthly inspections without any notice. We live in a 1974 singlewide that happens to be in bad condition because the landlord waits too long to make repairs. He wants to "inspect" inside because we have had two neighbors trash their premises. He told me that he will not announce. I paid a nice security deposit before moving in 5 years ago. Last night his daughter came to my door (IN THE RAIN) trying to sell me AVON. I did not let her in as it was obvious why she was there. She had never spoken to me before.
I am a tenant in an apartment building that is literally falling apart and i can't afford to move right now.
my question is: in the city of Newark, NJ where do i go to report negligence on the part of my landlord? i have been without hot water for over 5 days now, my basement is flooded with water, and there isn't even any electricity in the entire building!who do i report this to?my landlord lives out of town & he can't come into town to do something about the problems that we as tenants have to face on a daily basis, but has the audacity to forward his new post office box address to us so that we can send him his rent on time! is it legal for me to refrain from paying him his rent until he decides to take action and at the very least provide us with the basic survival essential such as hot water? please, someone out there with knowledge of landlord/tenant laws respond soon...help!!
Why do landlords dislike tenants who know their rights?
Oh gosh! As a landlord I love tenants who know their rights because that generally means they understand the landlord’s rights!I also love tenants that actually read and abide by their lease! It really is a frustration to me when they don’t because when you execute a lease with me, I walk you through every single section of it and what it means in plain language. I stop to ask for questions and if someone doesn’t understand something, I take the time to make sure that they do. I place their executed lease in a folder that also contains contact information, rules and regulations for the HOA, and a long FAQ list to help them when questions come up.Unfortunately about 50% don’t listen, blindly sign the lease, and then promptly lose the folder with all of the information. When an issue comes up, such as a late payment fee that has been assessed, I’ll get a call asking why and if I can’t waive it “just this once”. I’ll refer them to the folder that I gave them for reference. The lease lays out the obligation to pay on time and on what day a late fee applies. In the FAQ it clearly explains why we can’t waive the late fee, even just this once, and how they can earn a credit back later. But that 50% didn’t read it in the first place and won’t look at it now. Most of them can’t even find the folder and ask if I can give them another copy.The other 50% though, wow, they do read it, they do understand it, and they do keep track of the folder. They understand how the lease works with the tenancy law and both of our rights. I virtually never get one of those calls from them. I love those tenants and I work very hard to keep them happy and in my units for a long time. They stay an average of over 5 years in my units and when they do go they receive more than 95% of their deposits on average. Many of my renters that vacate refer me to their friends and fill my vacancy for me!
Can a landlord evict a tenant for having a pit bull that is not visious and has been in the apartment for 6 mo
the management has known about the dog for 6 months and other people in the area had dogs like that as well at some point. It is not in my lease agreement but they tell me by word of mouth. I have an impeccable rent history, do not cause any problems and the dog causes no problems with anyone; all she want to do is play. She doesn't bark at people nor does she bark when people come over. The first option was get rid of the dog within 72 hrs or be evicted. I had a meeting with them yesterday and the manager said two weeks. Later she called me at work and stated that I had 30 day to get out because I will not give up the dog. I want to know if I have any rights and is there anything I can do to fight this.
What can a landlord do if a tenant refuses to leave after an eviction notice?
That depends on what you mean by “eviction notice.”An eviction notice is issued by a court after a legal process in which the landlord has been awarded possession of the premises.The eviction process is handled by a court and, if necessary, by local law enforcement pursuant to a court order. If the tenant refuses to leave after the eviction notice has been served then he or she will be forcibly removed from the premises. There is nothing the landlord needs to do.A landlord cannot issue an eviction notice because only a court has the power to evict someone from their home.But a landlord can issue a “termination notice” or a “notice to vacate” or similar notices to the tenant pursuant to the terms of the lease. If such notices have been properly issued and served, and the tenant refuses to leave, then the landlord must file a dispossession action in the local civil court which, after due process, will result in the court issuing an “eviction notice” as described above.
Can a landlord deny a tenant the right to keep their ESA (emotional support animal) in the state of Indiana?
I would certainly not deny my tenants the right to “keep their ESA in the state of Indiana”.That’s mostly because I live in California, and I’d prefer the damn things stay in Indiana.The primary purpose of an ESA, or Emotional Support Animal, is to avoid paying pet fees, a pet deposit, or pet rent.And so there are a lot of online certificate companies which will sell you certificates to show your landlord.Indiana allows it under a very narrow definition.22-9-7-6 “Emotional support animal” definedSec. 6. As used in this chapter, “emotional support animal” means a companion animal that a health service provider has determined provides a benefit for an individual with a disability, which may include improving at least one (1) symptom of the disability.In other words, you can’t just get a certificate online from “CertaPet” or another company willing to sell you a certificate.You have to have a health professional willing to put their license to practice on the line, and be willing to lose their license over the claim, that the animal is necessary to treat a disability.This is, in fact, consistent with a HUD memo (but not required by HUD rules) and not consistent with ADA regulation, which only recognize “Trained Service Animals”.This is as a result of Indiana Public Law 162, modifications from Senate bBill 240, which went into effect in July of 2018.San Francisco has a similar ruling, although there is a State Appellate Court Ruling declaring the regulation unenforcible.You are still likely to get people trying to push back in the courts.I keep printouts of the HUD, ADA regulations, and court judgements to hand out to people.
What are the tenant's rights in this case?
Sister's landlord demanding to inspect unit. The problem is that she is very ill with bronchitis and cannot thoroughly clean her apartment. She was rushed to the hospital when she couldn't breathe last night. My other sister is staying with her while she's sick. We left a text message informing the landlord about her health th. He wrote back it doesn't matter how ill she is that he's still coming on Wednesday. Her doctor said complete bed rest. What are her rights?
