I rented for 6 years from a private owner. The lease increased by 2/28. She informed us that she was offering a house for sale before the lease expired. She walked through the house a few weeks ago and made a list of items she would like to have repaired/treated/cleaned, including carpet (the broker told her to replace, she doesn`t want to spend any money). She is harassing us to fix these kinds of things so she can put her house on the market as soon as possible. Everyone I talk to says that this is outrageous and that the owner should use a deposit. I know she has the right to sell a house and put a locker, but do I have to deal with these issues? Isn`t that their responsibility? Let me also add that she never did annual inspections of the property, so she had no idea what condition the house was in until 1/2. In an all-you-can-eat lease, the contract runs as long as both parties want to do business with each other. Sometimes there is no written agreement at all in a tenancy, but often the tenant is asked to sign a form that says « rental agreement » or « lease at will » at the top.
This form must include the amount of the monthly rent and the basic rules. I have heard that the courts accept SMS communications as valid forms of communication between landlords and tenants. Did the tenant respond? Do you have a screenshot with the date of the original message and the tenant`s response? You can always contact the tenant and send an official notice that the lease will not be renewed and give the tenant instructions on how to move. Leases When a lease can be changed, what rules or restrictions a lease can contain, service animals and animals for emotional support We own a mobile home in a mobile home park and there are new owners and they want a rental agreement that contains outrageous rules, such as; You want us tenants to all pay a flat fee of $75 per month for water/sewar and we don`t have individual water meters. Is it even legal, let alone ethical? I found out that we had overpaid the deposit when my daughter rented an apartment with two friends. Everyone was supposed to pay $450, but we accidentally paid the total of $1350 ourselves, so the owner received an additional $900 in deposits. The owner never acknowledged this overpayment, although we sent him evidence from the receipts of the cash checks we sent The girls have since moved and he charges them a huge amount for HOA violations ($250 per violation times 11), even though the sum of the violations was actually only $660 for various trash violations. The girls never received a copy of the HOA rules and he never informed them of the fines until they moved. First, how can I recover my excess deposit and second, can it charge us more than $2700 for HOA violations without charging/informing them in the year the violations occurred? I have been living in my apartment for six years now.
There were small and big problems that were not solved. One of them was when the ceiling of the kitchen and bathroom contained water. The manager came with a large screwdriver and drilled holes in the sagging ceiling. This released the water and left me a message to clean. There were small issues like a broken kitchen drawer, a ceiling fan that isn`t working properly, and a button on the stove that`s working in the meantime. I was told more than four years ago that I would have mini-blinds for all my windows. New tenants who arrive receive new mini blinds while I`m still waiting. Does management also have to repaint the walls after six years? Does the steering need to replace the mat, although when I found out when I moved in, it was cheap and thin.
Please tell me what rights I have in relation to these situations. I live in Ohio.
