FAQ
Paying your bills on time will help get your credit score where it needs to be. Include all sources of income, including side hustles, with your rental app. Show up on time, dress smart, and you'll make a great first impression on your potential landlord.
Gather evidence When considering a legal action against a landlord, it is important to gather evidence such as written documents, emails, and texts between you and the landlord. Other evidence includes videos and photographs depicting the condition of the apartment, and any witness statements that might help your case.
Most of the time. Courts tend to rule in favor of landlords in most instances. Tenants, even when they are in the right, don't usually come to court prepared. Landlords present specific evidence of which terms of the lease the tenant violated.
Communicate with the Landlord: Reach out to your landlord via email or any other written communication method to dispute the charges. Politely explain your position, provide any evidence you have, and request a detailed breakdown of the charges.
Yes, a tenant can take a landlord to court under various circumstances. Common reasons for legal action include: Breach of Lease Agreement: If a landlord fails to uphold the terms of the lease, such as not making necessary repairs or violating privacy rights, a tenant may sue for breach of contract.
Premises Liability Property owners could be held grossly negligent for ignoring evident hazards on their premises. For instance, if a landlord knew about a faulty staircase but didn't fix it, leading to a tenant's severe injury.
Showing up with persuasive evidence that supports your story is the way to win in small claims court. For example, if you are suing your landlord to get your security deposit returned, you'll want to have a photograph of a clean and undamaged apartment and the convincing testimony of someone who helped you clean up.
Go to the Landlord-Tenant Clerk's office and fill out a court form called a Petition in Support of an Order to Show Cause. If you can, bring your lease, rent receipts, utility bills and mail addressed to you at your home. If the Judge signs the Order to Show Cause, you will get a court date a day or two away.
