The thing is, every apartment, house or living quarters has a limit as to how many people are legally allowed to reside there. So, when you put an apartment up for rent, as a landlord, you are supposed to know beforehand what that number is. So, if the apartment is a two bedroom apartment and there are two parents with two children of the same sex, that would be within the law, therefore one price without modification for the two children. If they are trying to charge for the children, I would question it as if you are within the number of people allowed for that unit, one price should do it and not extra for kids within that number. BUT, unless there is a law saying you CANNOT CHARGE EXTRA FOR KIDS, which I dont think there is such a thing, the landlord can pretty much charge what he wants. It is possible that he is charging additional because kids traditionally make more damages of property, simply because they are kids, rather than four adults.
At 17 you are a minor and need to have parent's permisson to move in with your boyfriend. He is an adult and if he can prove income and have a credit check a landlord will rent to him, but not to you since you are a minor.
A landlord cannot legally harass you for rent if your rent is not in arrears.
If your friends landlord lowered the rent for him/her and then after moving in with him/her, he/she decides to move out, then the landlord will most likely raise the rent again.
Your landlord can evict you and sue for back rent.
I have to pay rent to my Landlord
Your answer depends on what you want to do.If the rent is paid for the full term of the lease agreement, then the landlord cannot rent the unit until the rent runs out.The landlord may want access to the unit to confirm that everything in the unit remains undamaged.If the landlord wants to rent the unit just because it's vacant, the landlord should refund the 'unused' rent to the departed tenant.
no
This depends on the policy of your landlord. In most leases it states when, where, and how you pay your rent.
The landlord's bankruptcy has nothing to do with the tenant. The tenant still owes the rent.
Generally there is no point in suing a property manager for not collecting rent. It should be noted that the tenant is responsible for paying his rent on time. It is not the responsibility for the landlord to collect the rent. If the landlord does not collect rent and the tenant should send it to the landlord by mail or in person.
yes your landlord can.
If you are paying rent it is a debit. If you are a landlord receiving rent its a credit.
