Legal Answers
Q. Can i get my security deposit back
A: The landlord has a duty to decrease (mitigate) his damages. The landlord also has a duty to return your security deposit within 14 days of you vacating the premises. Landlord was supposed to deduct the cost of the damages that you caused to the apartment from your security deposit. Since your landlord failed to provide you with an itemization of the damages to the apartment and to return your security deposit within 14 days of you vacate the premises, your landlord, would not be able to legally retain any portion of your security deposit. You should be able to successfully sue for twice the amount of your security deposit for his/her failure to comply with the law.
Q. My neighbor has no lease with renters in his home. One renter is now in jail. How long should he wait to empty the room?
A: Going in and emptying the room is not lawful. You should confirm that the tenant is in prison and then try to contact them to find out what they would and would not be able and willing to do to keep the place or whether they would surrender the premises. If no agreement can be reached, you may have to bring a case against them for either holdover or nonpayment, except for cases involving tenants who are the victims of domestic violence. The person can be served in the prison as well as their residence.
Q. Is it legal for my landlord to use a window (not open) to enter my home while we are away? He lost his key
A: It is not lawful for the landlord to enter into your apartment in the way that you have described. As a tenant, you have exclusive possession of the space that you are paying rent for. If the landlord would like to get access to your apartment, the landlord has to request reasonable days for access. In an emergency situation, the landlord does not have to obtain your consent to enter your premises.
