I’m renting from my landlord whose house is foreclosing w/ other concerns. What are my rights?
Main Content 4 Comments »I reside on the Big Iceland from Hawaii. I have just found out recently that my landlord, who lives right above me and my family loses their house to foreclosure. She offered to extend even bankruptcy to foreclosure. Thats’ why we still here and we have only a month to month lease, because their house for sale for two years now. I have many questions on this topic. What bothers me most is that they knew it, since April ’08 and ’08 they had us move in June. The month we moved in, we paid $ 950 for rent plus another $ 950 for the deposit and no one uses it against their mortgage. Not only do we already found a place, and we will be moving on since 5 Rent is due on December 6th, but we had to bail over the last months rent, so to go this month is free, is with us, but not use it against the law, the security deposit to rent? Is not it suppose to security reasons only? And if we move back out there? I have time to pay my rent by the night before they demand it without them there except a time that was due. The morning after the due date, she gave me no time to wake up and have a cup of coffee and they listened to my wife about it, and they had to wake me. Do not I pay by midnight of the due date of the rent to her anyway? Is another matter that the utility is not included, so we pay for our share, but what bothers me that we are no other electric meters, that our use of it separates agreed. Is not she suppose to have come to the Electric Company and add more meters before they rented it? So the first few months, she only deducted $ 175, there is what she was paying by itself, before we moved in, so I had to pay the remainder of the first three months claimed, until she called one day and me was told how much I owed and the amount so high that it makes no sense to me, so I for their electric bill and those who ask in advance so that I can see it resolved. Come to find out there was only one month when she owed $ 177 ($ 175 not, as she said) and it was the month of June, the month we moved in. And all the other months of so much higher than the . So I have everything re-calculated by the amount used from the amount of kilowatts and gave her the benefit of the doubt and made them pay me back for all the times it overwhelmed me. Not only that, when I looked at their electricity bill, it was about $ 1,000 behind their payments. I also noticed that on a payment that I wrote to her for $ 177, they pay only $ 200, if the balance for that month was over $ 350. The day it is in the mail, it comes just up to me and asks for payment immediately. Not I, as their tenants, have seven days from the day she gets it in the mail, in order to pay for it? One last complaint is that I smell marijuana all the time because it always bothers Toking upstairs and the smell it me and my family. But I realized that I did for the payments I make to their smell. Could it be the money I give her for rent and utilities on drugs? Do me and my family deserves? Based on a location that is further away from our jobs more and more expensive, because they lose the house to find? I also feel like I’m supporting drug habits. Could someone please give me some advice and tell me what I can and / or ought to know this to be done. What are my rights?
