Renting, who provides the propane tanks? landlord or tenant? ?
I've been selling propane for 20 years. Very rarely does the owner pay the rent on the storage tank. Usually the tenant is responsible for the tank rental and fuel that goes in it. The landlord is responsible for the piping and furnace installation being up to code. Quite honestly, if you are a tenant you probably want to pay that directly. I've seen a lot of landlords paying for the rental or fuel, that usually want an unpriced delivery slip so they can mark it up when they charge the tenant!
In NH, I have a roommate that I need gone. Will police help get her out?
I live in New Hampshire and need a New Hampshire law that will help me: I have a girl that moved in a month ago, she has not paid rent, she's doubled my light bill, she mooches rides off me, has random guys over and shes NOT on the lease, NO bills are in her name. I want her out. If I call the police today to have her removed (I told her last night and she's being difficult), will they come and have her leave wheres shes not on the lease and is over 18 or will they tell me I must give her a certain amount of notice and leave her with me? PLEASE HELP
What's a cost effective way to prove my tenant is keeping pets in violation of the lease?
I suppose you could give your tenant advanced warning that you'll be coming in to fix the whatever next week (assuming this is something in the contract), and then when you enter try to take photos of any evidence that a pet lives there.The thing is, suppose you can prove there's an animal, then what? If your tenant wants, they could claim the animal is necessary for emotional reasons, and you'll have to disprove them in court if you want to evict them. Good luck. I recommend a smoother solution. Approach your tenant and say, Hey I've been noticing signs of a pet living with you. Instead of trying to kick you out, I'd like us to find a fair amount to add to your rent and deposit, so that we can rewrite it into the contract. Now that's win win.
What protections are there for tenants in state law?
Protection from what exactly? Oregon is pretty fair, at least compaired to CA where the tenants can screw the landlord pretty easily. If you tell us your issue and which state you are talking about we can tell you. For the most part there is nothing to protect you from.
What is the cancellation fee for Progressive auto insurance if I terminate my policy early?
Progressive DOES have a cancellation fee if you decide to terminate your auto insurance policy early.However, Progressive offers pro-rate refunds if you cancel your policy in between billing cycles.The cancellation fee of $50-$65 will be subtracted from your refund.For example, if I paid for my 12 month insurance policy in one lump-sum payment and then cancelled my policy after 5 months, I would be refunded my premiums payments for the remaining 7 months.Another example, If I already paid my premium for the month of August, but cancel my policy on August 10th, I would receive a refund for the number of days that remain in the billing cycle.Of course, any refunds will include any fees or financial terms outlined in your policy.Some companies give short-rate penalties for early cancellation.These are not entire refunds, but percentages of them.Short-rate penalties discourage drivers from cancelling policies early.Progressive wants their customers to cancel over the phone at 1-866-416-2003.For your cancellation phone call, be sure to have:Proof of new insurance ORProof of plate forfeiture ORProof of salePolicy numberBe sure to ask to be sent a cancellation confirmation number that you can use in case you are sent any further bills.Cancel your Progressive insurance policy ONLY when you have a new insurance policy.That way you will not be driving without coverage, which is illegal in almost every state except for New Hampshire and Virginia.To learn more about the penalties of driving uninsured, feel free to check out this article.
Should landlords be required to put peep holes in all of their tenants' doors?
If the landlord will not install a peep hole, you can still protect yourself with a chain lock. It allows you to open the door part way without letting the person in. Your landlord should be willing to install this for you, or it might be worth doing yourself with permission.
Is the landlord required to provide a copy of the lease to the tenant if the tenant loses their copy?
If your lease is standard, then it is for one year, and after that it automatically becomes a month-to-month tenancy. It has nothing to do with whether tenant received a copy or lost it. Since she has been there over a year, then she is month to month, and it has nothing to do with her asking to become month to month.That means that the entire agreement is in force at this moment and renews on the first day of every month. If you wish to make any changes to her lease you must do so before the first of the month.If you wish to evict her, you MUST follow the rules that your jurisdiction demand for eviction, and almost all states or cities have certain rules. You can easily look them up or contact an attorney. You must follow them exactly or else your eviction will be thrown out. This has nothing to do with whether she has a copy of the lease or whether she can find another loophole, and everything to do with basic landlord tenant law.You can also simply not renew the lease, but often jurisdictions treat that as an eviction. You may raise the rent but you must give her at least 30 days notification of that. You have several options, but you should talk to an attorney asap to find out what your rights are and what her rights are.I've been a landlord for 20 twenty years. You really should not be renting out any sort of property without being familiar with basic landlord/tenant law. You will save yourself enormous amounts of grief by reading through your jurisdiction's statutes and discussing them with an attorney. If you do not, you will spend a lot of money asking lawyers for basic advice such as this, and you will continually have troubles, especially with tenants who know the law better than you.
Legal Landlord tenant issue, security deposit question in NH.?
My former landlord will not return my security deposit, he is not disputing anything, he says he will give it back, he just has not. i've spoke with him multiple times letting him know we would like the money back and it seems I always get the same answer "the check is in the mail" so-to-speak. This is going on in NH. Now one issue also is the landlord never gave us the singed copy of the lease. however I have a e-mailed copy from her with no signatures. We want our money. thanks.
NH Landlord Rights regarding entering apartment to show it...Only qualified answers please....?
Tenant is moving without giving a 30 day notice. We did not receive anything in writing either. The tenant will not pay last month's rent and wants us to use the security deposit. We do not allow this, but will have to take it b/c the law doesn't leave us with many options other than eviction or suing. The tenant is leaving anyway. My question is if it is legal to give 24 hour notice to show the apartment before the tenant leaves. Can I legally enter the apartment with 24 hours notice? The tenant is being uncooperative and will only give us an hour window when it is convenient for him. Thanks.
