Can my landlord charge me for Attorney’s fees when said Attorney did not evict me? I fulfilled my lease, and I even asked her if I owed her any more money, and she said no. Now she’s taking $250.00 out of my deposit for ‘Attorney’s Fee’s’ for things like 3-Day Pay or Vacates that she sent.

She also is charging me $75.00 for a stupid mini-blind that fell and broke the first time I tried to use it because she put one that was too small in the kitchen window. They’re only 9.99 at the hardware store I work at. (Say what??)

Washington State

I am on a lease, with 2 people, with 3/mons remaining.I went to the landlord’s office and told them we would be moving out by the end of April.The office allowed us to break the lease and all the roomies would have to do is sign the release form.I mentioned that I was moving out by the end of April, I mentioned it 2 wks b4 May to my roomies(out on May 8th).Also I gave them an agreement saying that I will pay for the rest of May, giving them time to find another roomy.They did not agree to the terms and are now, maybe, in danger of eviction, which is real soon.I know my name will be in the eviction as well if that happens.Now my roomies say they will take legal actions if I don’t pay part of the rent for 3 months or so, as well as utilities and such.Also I had allowed my g/f to stay with me and paid for her portion of the rent, though her name was not on the lease, and the office already knew she was living w/me and allowed her to stay as long as her part of the rent was paid.

I received a letter from the Irs stating I had unreported income (1099c) from a landlord in 2008. It stated an amount of 2000.00 with a date of 12/31/2008. I did not receive anything from the landlord, but I did live in the house for 3 months until I was evicted for non payment of rent (legally) in the amount of 700.00. However, I was asked to leave the house and left not owing anything and had put over 1000.00 into the home. The landlord will not return my calls or registered letters. Is this Legal? Can anyone just send an erroneous 1099c to lower their own debt? IRS doesn’t seem to have any answers, just saying that I have to prove that I don’t owe it. Why doesn’t the landlord have to prove that I do? By the way, the landlord is a tax attorney.
The landlord asked me to leave because his “manager” stated she had a family member that needed to move in. She said that if I would leave by the end of the month that she would void my contract. I found out a year later that the landlord filed an eviction for one months’ rent and a judgment to that effect was granted. I was ok with moving because my lease was ending in a few months and I wanted to purchase a home. I left the home in immaculate condition. The 1099c states 2000.00 (?) and he doesn’t have to explain this to anyone?

we live in a mobile home park and the owner is forcing us to pay and forcing us to sign a paper from the “state” but the contract or form he wants us to sign doesn’t say anything, he comes and threatens us with eviction and with taking us to court we have lived here for over 15 years never had a problem until now he is trying to charge us 500 dollars for a light pole that they just installed, but they are already charging us for electricity and they have not connected the pole yet, everyone else has signed but my parents and another tenant, the management threatened others with eviction and other treats . its been about 2 months with they have been haggling us, wouldn’t they have done something already if they really wanted too kick us out? what can i do? please help
