I recently moved into a new apt. in West Des Moines. I have two bathrooms in my unit, one of the toilets in the unit will not flush and has not been working for a week now. The landlord has been notified and a work order was placed. I have been waiting almost a week now to get it fixed, the people working in the office told me that it would be fixed within 24-72 ...

We purchased our house as a short sale. We closed on November 13, 2009. The house was previously being rented because the sellers were divorcing. The tenants currently living there by law were allowed a month and a day to move out (They were to get out by December 14th). During this time they did not have to pay us rent. (We have an FHA mortgage and could not write rent into our mortage because ...

My question is, with her friends father as the guarantor, does ...

We are a couple with a 7 months old baby, looking for 1BR apartment but some of the property managements told us that as per NJ rental law, we need to rent a minimum 2BR apartment. Is that really a state law or just a gimmick of the property management?

We live in Virginia. In May 2009, our former landlord took almost a month longer than 45 days to even mail us the remainder of our security deposit. We gave them a call to ask where it was and they admitted it hadn't been mailed out. When we finally got it, we had one dollar left of our deposit. Having become more informed of rental law since then, I'd like to take them to court ...

She is supposed to pay $100/week plus the power bill. She has paid for one weeks rent, and getting the power bill paid is a game of hide-and-seek. My bf let her work for him (in lieu of money, she's unemployed) when he had work available,but that was only for two weeks. He had surgery in January, and while he was in the hospital, the tires got stolen off a truck he has been keeping ...

I signed a lease to rent out this duplex yesterday in Utah county. As we signed it we noticed some cockroaches & the landlord said that they were going to fog the house before we moved in.
