The only thing maybe illegal here is if the original apartment was never really available and all of this was a bait-and-switch to get you to agree to one of the more expensive ones. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Did he say that it needed to be signed by a certain time or anything. Sounds sketchy. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
It makes sense that the cheaper rent would go first/faster.

I rent an apartment that is owned by people out of state; all my interactions about the unit have been with a local property manager. My front door lock does not work from the outside.

If you're renting, the property management should be replacing the lock if it is failed/failing. I don't know the specific rulings for OH, but as a locksmith I have never heard of a tenant being responsible for lock replacement except in the scenario of the tenant breaking it or it having to be broken in a lockout situ... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
You renting? If you have to pay for yourself, then the owner does not get a copy. It's now your own personal property. Save the broke lock for when you leave and exchange it back. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
I would replace the lock with one I bought at Home Depot. I would remove the lock that I purchased at Home Depot when I terminate the lease.
If she requires a key for the door, then she is required to replace the lock with one that works. But, I’m not going to go out of my way to convenience her of that. I’ll just us... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |

Thank you!
It says there that the land lord must provide the liquidated or present damages fees verbiage at the time of signing which he did not. In that case does that imply that we should I be able to break with zero fees? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Without an early termination clause you’re responsible for the entirety of the lease barring specific circumstances. From what you’ve described, none of those circumstances give you an out here. Many issues being unaddressed and/or the unit being uninhabitable would give you an out. Frequent but promptly repaired issue... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
No. The obligation to include the fee options in the lease only applies IF the landlord wants to offer this early termination option in the lease AT ALL. They don’t have to offer (yours did not). It’s kinda weird but this explains some of why a landlord or tenant would want or reject the options. https://www.nolo.com/s... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Context: our windows do not open and the a/c units are similar to what you'd find in a hotel. My a/c has been leaking water and its seeping up through our floorboards.

I'm sorry OP, but I just have to ask ... How hard is it to clear out the condensation tray? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Tools that I don't have and a shopvac that I don't have. The question isn't why don't I have the tools, its why does the tray overflow into the apartment and why hasn't management done anything even though they've known about the issue for weeks.

Well, you can either continue to lie and dig the hole deeper and commit even more fraud. Or you can go have a conversation with your probation officer, be honest, and hope for some forgiveness.
I think the smart move would be to not commit any further fraud and come clean before any money changes hands. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |

Oof. Okay this path your on, you really need to change it’s course and quite quickly.

Unfortunately, what the realtor had to say in their verbal marketing versus what the landlord had in mind appear to be different things, and if it is not locked down in writing in the lease then there's not much legally that can be done. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |

In California, the landlord has to inform you of your right to a pre inspection. They are supposed to give you an itemized list of what you need to repair before your move out date.

Now here we are on July 24... | r/renters | post | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
If you both agreed to to extend the lease to July 1st, are you really willing to commit perjury to try to claim the lease ended May 30th?

My landlord claims I signed a lease that she gave me a copy of. I have no evidence of the copy but a photo of the front and back of the lease.

My lease says “this agreement can be cancelled at anytime by either myself or the landlord.

30 days notice is pretty typical, 2 weeks even seems short. That line may refer to it being a month to month lease rather a 1 or 2 year lease.

If it's a lease based violation you go to civil court if you can't get the landlord to act. Municipal or some government code violation would normally go though a local Housing agency to start.

No idea. The property manager is always uppity about me not keeping a perfect yard even though it's mostly concrete and destined to be ugly.

I wouldnt pay anything extra. Log, maybe from your bank account if it was an online payment, that you did indeed pay your security deposit& first months. Put the money you owe for rent after first months aside for when they come asking. If you have emails reaching out about I would log those too.

It's reassuring to hear that from someone else. I really don't get why they don't want to come get their money. Ideally I could just give it to them and not have to think about this anymore but I'll keep waiting for them to give me a response.

LL and tenants both have the option to not renew. Seems like they would prefer a new tenant rather than have you sign again (just my opinion here).
You can always accept the terms of the renewal or decline, and submit your notice of intent to terminate. Check your lease and state law on what that timeline is. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |
