FAQ
Rent abatement is a temporary reduction or pause in rent payments granted to tenants under specific circumstances. It typically occurs when there are issues with the rented property, such as defects, necessary repairs, loss of promised amenities, health and safety concerns, or when the property becomes uninhabitable.
A tenant will need to inform their landlord about property damage in writing as part of a rent abatement letter. The letter should be clear and direct and provide a list of property damage that defines what makes a living space uninhabitable.
If the landlord simply doesn't show up AND doesn't send a representative, then unless he has made arrangements with the court due to some extreme issue (such as being hospitalized) the case is normally dismissed. In an extreme circumstance, the case might be rescheduled.
If an attorney is representing the tenant, the attorney must electronically file the counterclaim. A counterclaim must include the same case name and case number as the landlord's case. At the bottom the counterclaim should state how and when the counterclaim is being “served” on the landlord.
Rent abatement takes the pressure off of tenants who are behind on rent or unable to make rent. It suspends rent for a set period, while allowing the tenant to remain in the space.
As a landlord, you're not technically liable for nuisance tenants or occupiers of your property. However, you may be liable if you've allowed the tenants to cause the nuisance or if, when renting out your property, you were aware that nuisance was inevitable or almost certainly going to occur.
The landlord must return a tenant's security deposit plus interest, less any damages rightfully withheld, within 45 days after the tenancy ends. If the landlord fails to do this without a good reason, you may sue for up to three times the withheld amount, plus reasonable attorney's fees.
A tenant's counterclaim is filed in a case initiated by the landlord – usually in the Associate Division. If the tenant is not represented by an attorney, filing a counterclaim requires submitting a paper copy of the counterclaim to the court clerk.
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.
