Question : Landlord / Rental Inspection – what would you do? My husband and I rented a home starting in February 2008 from my cousin’s mother-in-law who was moving out of state. There was no written lease between us, just a verbal agreement that we’d pay $ 500 a month plus all utilities.
Because the house was very dirty and needed some TLC, she waived the first month and a half rent and no security deposit, so we took the time to clean the home from top to bottom, painted all of the rooms, and did some minor necessary repairs. The house is now completely liveable because of the things we More >

Question : Can I force my landlord to conduct a mold inspection? I moved into an apartment in Florida on Friday 7/18/2008. When I first did a walk through a few days prior, I noticed a musty smell but assumed it was due to the apartment being vacant with no air conditioning for a while. After being there 4 days, the odor has not dissipated and I also found a large black slimy spot of mold on the baseboard near the sliding door. I also noticed water damage in all of the kitchen cabinets. I reported this problem today, but I am under the impression that they are simply going to spray bleach on More >

Question : Should we allow Landlord to do a “walk-through” inspection? My fiancee and I have been tenants in a rented single-family home for almost 4 years now. Last month, our landlord allowed us to pay our month-to-month rent in two payment; one-half on the date its due; and the other, two weeks later. This month, our landlord allowed us to pay rent late (after the 5-day grace period.) Our late payment of the rent in July and August, 2009, is the first time we’ve ever been late in paying in the four years we’ve been tenants. The landlord telephoned, on Aug. 3rd, to advise us that he is More >

Question : Can a landlord withhold a security deposit on a rental property without a pre and post move damage inspection? My landlord is fictitiously claiming damage to his rental property.

Best answer:
Answer by JustineI think it all depends on what stipulations are in your lease. There should be a section on security deposit withholding.
