After eviction,landlord files for past due included the rent, late fees, utility due until term of lease ends?

landlord has put an collection for rent past due and the payments due up to the term of the lease- 6 months including the late fees and water bill, the attorney representing the compnay states that landlord can get up to 6 months of rent after eviction. I was evicted in Jan 14, claims notices were sent, I did change of address, no notices sent except one to the person my mother who signed the lease agreement for me, with a total amount due of 7000.00 for the rent past due, including future rent, late fees and utilities.. How could this be?

Landlord is charging me $1058.37 for last apartment can they do that?

I recently moved from a 2 bed to a 3 bed. I put down a deposit of $350.00 on my last place. When I moved out the place was not pristine, but it certainly was not damaged in any way. I left a kind of dirty bathtub, everything else was scrubbed. Didnt mop the kitchen floor or anything but cleaned the appliances and shampooed the carpet etc.. I got a letter charging for everything under the sun adding up to the amout above.Minus the 350 they want me to pay 708.00 I was shocked. I think they are harassing me as I am taking them to court for a wrongful eviction notice and they know I have a lawyer, do I have any recourse for this assanine amount of money they want me to pay? I got 3 quotes form maid services and the top amount to clean a really filthy apartment would be no more than 250 and that a really dirty place.
I guess what I am saying is the place was not dirty beyond normal wear and tear and they are charging for things I know I cleaned. They are even charging me for carpet I steamed and nail holes etc…
in my defense, the place was not damaged and my apt only charges $per nail hole so that was not the all of it. Point is they are charging me for things that I did perfectly and should not be charged for.

Landlord won’t make repairs. It’s been over a year what do I do?

My husband and I have been going through a rough time and it is affecting our marriage. Please help! I pay rent monthly. There are no late fees I just have to call the landlord before the 30th of the month and tell him what day I need to pay rent. Up until now this has not been a problem. However, the problem is that the landlord does not make repairs. It is up to me and my husband to sometimes pay hundreds of dollars to make the repairs to the plumbing and anything else that is needed. We cannot mail him notice to make repairs, as stipulated by law, because he and his wife refuse to give us their mailing address. We recently spent $300.00 on repairs and told him to come around the 24th of the month since we just had a new baby also and are struggling to pay bills and make repairs to keep our other kids safe. He came by this moring and was like we have to pay late fees. My husband informed him that he has not been making repairs and we have had to pay for them. The landlord said that did not matter he does not have to make repairs. My husband slammed the door in his face and told him to come on the 24th as requested. I called and his wife answered and refused to give me their mailing address. The law seems in favor of the landlord. Our plumbing was backed up for almost a month until we got the repairs made. Any advice on what we can do. Since hurricane Ike last year we were put back financially and cannot move right now. Plus I was lais off last year. This landlord is taking advantage but he is suppose to make repairs. The kitchen cabinet even fell down on one of my daughters last year. We told him about it and he said he would get it fixed but a year has passed. Please some advice. This is bad business practice. What can we do? I called an attorney who said for me to mail notice but I explained to him the landlord refuses to give an address. The attorney has not called me back. What can I do??
The landlord has been really trying my husband’s patience and stressing him and me out. Due to our financial situation we cannot move but he should not be able to do this to us. Then again all laws point in favor of the landlord not the tennant it seems. He told my husband he does not have to make repairs but we have to pay rent. What can we do?
We did not sign a lease. It was a verbal agreement. It states that no late fees will be assessed to call for the payment date and he will come out to collect rent on that date. He also stated that he will charge a late fee only if he comes out and we have not called him. I keep requesting his mailing address but he refuses. He also said he does not have to make repairs. I have all documents, quotes, receipts, and any other evidence needed. He is a slum lord.

Lease Question? Breaking Lease?

Now before I begin, I am well aware that when I moved in I signed a contract. Now to my situation. I moved to Boston a few months ago to continue my education. I live with one of my best friends, who is also studying at the same university. We have only been living here for about 4 months. We have a place in Somerville and rent is 1300 a month, no utilities included. We have a great landlord who happens to have a daughter who goes to the same university as us and he has been most helpful and friendly. My roommate just informed me that his mother is very sick and he has to return to Paris and theres a possibility he will not return. Now I cannot afford the rent by myself. Even with work and all. The Lease I signed is the RHA Standard Form Apartment Lease Fixed Term (2000/2001 Edition).
As for breaking the lease it says the following:

Lessee’s Covenants in Event of Termination Clause The Lessee covenants that in case of any termination of this lease, by reason of the default of the Lessee, then at the option of Lessor:
(A) the Lessee will forthwith pay to the Lessor as damages hereunder a sum equal to the amount by which the rent and other payments called for hereunder for the remainder of the term or any extension or renewal thereof exceed the fair rental value of said premises for the remainder of the term or any extension or renewal thereof; and
(B) the Lessee covenants that he will furthermore indemnify the Lessor from and against any loss and damage sustained by reason of any termination caused by the default of, or the breach by, the Lessee. Lessor’s damages hereunder shall include, but shall not be limited to any loss of rents; reasonable broker’s commissions for the re-letting of the leased premises; advertising costs; the reasonable cost incurred in cleaning and repainting the premises in order to relet the same; and moving and storage charges incurred by Lessor in moving Lessee’s belongings pursuant to eviction proceedings.
(C) At the option of the Lessor, however, Lessor’s cause of action under this article shall accrue when a new tenancy or lease term first commences subsequent to a termination under this lease, in which event Lessor’s damages shall be limited to any and all damages sustained by him prior to said new tenancy or lease date.

Now I understand that it is basically saying that if I break the lease I am responsible for all the rent of the months I have not payed or the time that it is vacant. Now my question is, if I find someone else to move in and take over the contract, does that mean I am not liable anymore? Contracts are contracts but it also says I take over repairs or additions and that I need to inform him of any thing and so far he didnt care what I did. He installed new locks for free, etc. I would love to stay here but I do not want to default and be evicted because I cannot pay rent. Any help or experience would be greatly appreciated!
So far thank you for the help! Some of the best I’ve seen in all the questions asked. I am obviously trying to do it the right way. I don’t want him or myself to suffer financially and I’d rather pay two months in rent when I am not living here to help him find a new tenant, than pay for the rest of year. I will do what I can to help him, when the time comes. Any more help is greatly appreciated!

Can I be held liable if a judgment entered against me was for the wrong amount?

According to an eviction notice, the amount my landlord’s attorney said I owed was $1895.00. That included the back rent, attorney’s fees and court costs.

While at court their attorney wrote up an agreement in front of me that we both agreed to and signed. According to that agreement the total owed to the landlord was $1662.00 not $1895.00. A difference of $233.00.

Today I look again at that agreement. I was to make $200 weekly payments towards the judgment for seven weeks straight. But here’s the problem, 7 x 200 is $1400, not $1662. Okay so it appears the attorney made a mistake with his math. There should have been one final payment of $262.I honestly didn’t notice the error till today.

According to the state of PA “Judgments by Agreement” are binding and cannot be appealed. My question is can the attorney come after me for a mathematical error he made? Would I still be responsible for that final payment of $262?

what do i do?

my bf always gets his tax retrn in 24hrs of filing. has for 10 years. he didnt qualify this year. the rent is 13 days late. a few days ago i panicked and told the landlord that i sent the check already. she stopped by today and left a 3 day notice to pay or she wil begin the eviction process. she said the bank doesnt care about my problems i have been having (death of my friends dad who i have known for over ten years, my daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, the older child is causing problems). we are due to have the check in the next week but it doesnt seem to matter. his ex wont pay child support and he wont go file for it. we dont have the credit to get a payday advance, plus he owes money to a payday advance company form years ago.
all we need is 900 by the 18th, 2 days before the expected tax return. i dont know what to do i screwed up by panicking and lying.
the landlord stopped by without notice at 8 this morning! so im sure she will just ‘drop by’ again later today. so i know she will ask for the ‘returned’ check. so am i screwed?

Question about tenant issues – probably not appropriate here but I don’t have time to find an attorney?

this is Chicago Il tenant landlord law. We looked at an apartment that is for rent, the landlord told us it would be available Oct 5th.

We did not sign a lease and did not definitely agree to take the unit. The landlord however told us that we had to pay a $100 application fee and give him a month’s rent to hold the apartment. We eventually decided we didn’t want the unit ( there were two murders in the immediate area last week). The landlord told us that there was a $300 cancellation fee plus in addition to the $100 application fee. We would also be charged a pro-rated amount for each day after Oct 1st that the unit did not rent. ( Which is curiously given that the unit won’t be ready until Oct 5th). We did not sign a lease and he has almost 30 days to find a replacement. Can he charge us $300 ++ ? We need to know soon before we look at another place

Thanks

Big Brother 12 (USA) – This is what Matt SHOULD have done?

He should have realized that the rest of the Brigade is absolutely NOTHING without him, as he is the only one that can win competitions (he even has complained about Enzo and Lane not even trying in competitions). He also should have realized that it is only a matter of time before the Brigade turns on him, and he will be the first one they vote out because he wins everything.

Matt should have formed a secret alliance with Rachel and Brendon, because no one would have expected it…he could then bring in Britney and made a secret pact with the other three to make it to Final Four.

After realizing this, Matt should have decided to turn against the Brigade before they turned on him. He could have exposed to Britney that Hayden, Lane, and Enzo are in an alliance, and he could have gotten Britney to use the POV to take down Rachel and put Hayden up in his place (backdoor Hayden). If Matt was worried about this, he could have sold his move by saying that he believed Hayden is the saboteur. Then Matt could have pulled in Britney, Rachel, Ragan, and Kathy to vote Hayden out.

Next week, it would not have mattered who won the HOH or POV competitions, because Matt has the power to overthrow everything with the Diamond Veto. He could have backstabbed Lane and Enzo right before the eviction and put them on the block. Enzo would have gone home, and Lane would be a sitting duck at that point.

Following this, Matt, Britney, Rachel, and Brendon could have picked off Kathy and Ragan, and they would have had a clear path to final four.

Now THIS is how a REAL Big Brother player – like Will Kirby or Evel Dick Donato would have played this game. Matt is a coward and not anywhere near the genius he thinks he is. I can’t wait to see the Brigade turn on him.

What are your thoughts?

what are the laws in Illinois concerning last month’s rent if your landlord terminates your lease early?

I signed a 1 year lease for a condo sublet in IL. We paid the 1st month’s rent, last month’s rent and a security deposit up front.

halfway through the 9th month, I received a notice from an attorney notifying me that my landlord hadn’t paid the last 5 months’ association fees and that the unit would be “taken back” if those fees were not paid in full.

We spoke to the landlord & she explained that she could not afford to pay those fees so we were forced to look for another place and vacate the premises by the end of the month. We had already paid for that month not knowing it would be our last.

Now, after terminating the agreement early and taking our last month’s rent, she is telling us that she has 30 days to get that deposit back to us – which is correct, according to the Illinois Security Deposit Return Act – but she is bunching the deposit and last month’s rent together.

My question is: what can I do to get the last month’s rent back sooner? What are my rights in regard to that money?

I’m actually staying with family because without notice, I could not afford the security deposit for another apartment. I fear that given her situation, she will avoid me and procrastinate as long as possible!

I will send a certified letter requesting the money but where do I go from there? Any advice?
