Answers:
if you don't have a lease; YES!
Yes as long as its not in the first 6 months of your tenancy.
The law favours landlords always.
Tenants rights suck!
well if he wants you out then you must look elsewhere.
but what is his reason for asking you to leave ?
you must have signed an agreement in the first place.
have you read it ?
if your a month to month tenant he can.sorry.
yes. allways. generally its 1 or 2 months notice.. but they can make it very hard for you to stay..
it is very hard to make someone leave. Make him take you to court. That will give you at least 3 months
In a very similar situatioin to you. Most people are on a short term fixed length rental agreement so as long as he gives you the correct amount of notice, yes, sadly he can. Believe me, I've taken GOOD advice on this - local council's housing office, local advice centre etc. Have you asked him why and tried to sorf it out? If not do what I did and take advice and good luck!
yes im afraid so. have you got a shorthold tenancy agreement? if so check out the terms. your landlord should give you 2 mths notice i think, but it should say so.also try to leave the flat in good condition so to give him no reason to hold back your deposit. i rented a house for 5years and was given 2mths notice to buy it or get out. he was within his rights. good luck for the future.
It depends on the laws where you live. Not enough information to give you an answer.
42-42. Landlord to provide fit premises.
(a)The landlord shall:
(1) Comply with the current applicable building and
housing codes, whether enacted before or after
October 1, 1977, to the extent required by the
operation of such codes; no new requirement is
imposed by this subdivision (a)(1) if a structure
is exempt from a current building code.
(2) Make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to
put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable
condition.
(3) Keep all common areas of the premises in safe
condition.
(4) Maintain in good and safe working order and
promptly repair all electrical, plumbing, sanitary,
heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and other
facilities and appliances supplied or required to
be supplied by the landlord provided that
notification of needed repairs is made to the
landlord in writing by the tenant, except in
emergency situations.
(5) Provide operable smoke detectors, either
battery-operated or electrical, having an
Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., listing or other
equivalent national testing laboratory approval,
and install the smoke detectors in accordance with
either the standards of the National Fire
Protection Association or the minimum protection
designated in the manufacturer's instructions,
which the landlord shall retain or provide as proof
of compliance. The landlord shall replace or repair
the smoke detectors within 15 days of receipt of
notification if the landlord is notified of needed
replacement or repairs in writing by the tenant.
The landlord shall ensure that a smoke detector is
operable and in good repair at the beginning of
each tenancy. Unless the landlord and the tenant
have a written agreement to the contrary, the
landlord shall place new batteries in a
battery-operated smoke detector at the beginning of
a tenancy and the tenant shall replace the
batteries as needed during the tenancy. Failure of
the tenant to replace the batteries as needed shall
not be considered as negligence on the part of the
tenant or the landlord.
(b) The landlord is not released of his obligations under any
part of this section by the tenant's explicit or implicit
acceptance of the landlord's failure to provide premises
complying with this section, whether done before the lease was
made, when it was made, or after it was made, unless a
governmental subdivision imposes an impediment to repair for a
specific period of time not to exceed six months.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, the landlord
and tenant are not prohibited from making a subsequent written
contract wherein the tenant agrees to perform specified work on
the premises, provided that said contract is supported by
adequate consideration other than the letting of the premises
and is not made with the purpose or effect of evading the
landlord's obligations under this Article. (1977, c. 770, s. 1;
1995, c. 111, s. 2; 1998-212, s. 17.16(i).)
¤ 42-43. Tenant to maintain dwelling unit.
(a)The tenant shall:
(1) Keep that part of the premises that the tenant
occupies and uses as clean and safe as the
conditions of the premises permit and cause no
unsafe or unsanitary conditions in the common areas
and remainder of the premises that the tenant uses.
(2) Dispose of all ashes, rubbish, garbage, and other
waste in a clean and safe manner.
(3) Keep all plumbing fixtures in the dwelling unit or
used by the tenant as clean as their condition
permits.
(4) Not deliberately or negligently destroy, deface,
damage, or remove any part of the premises, nor
render inoperable the smoke detector provided by
the landlord, or knowingly permit any person to do
so.
(5) Comply with any and all obligations imposed upon
the tenant by current applicable building and
housing codes.
(6) Be responsible for all damage, defacement, or
removal of any property inside a dwelling unit in
the tenant's exclusive control unless the damage,
defacement or removal was due to ordinary wear and
tear, acts of the landlord or the landlord's agent,
defective products supplied or repairs authorized
by the landlord, acts of third parties not invitees
of the tenant, or natural forces.
(7) Notify the landlord, in writing, of the need for
replacement of or repairs to a smoke detector. The
landlord shall ensure that a smoke detector is
operable and in good repair at the beginning of
each tenancy. Unless the landlord and the tenant
have a written agreement to the contrary, the
landlord shall place new batteries in a
battery-operated smoke detector at the beginning of
a tenancy and the tenant shall replace the
batteries as needed during the tenancy. Failure of
the tenant to replace the batteries as needed shall
not be considered as negligence on the part of the
tenant or the landlord.
(b) The landlord shall notify the tenant in writing of any
breaches of the tenant's obligations under this section except
in emergency situations. (1977, c. 770, s. 1; 1995, c. 111, s.
3; 1998-212, s. 17.16(j).)
