Nia Monopoli: I had gotten a notice to conform or quit due to the dog and because they did not receive my check I mailed them. When he showed up, I paid cash immediately plus late fees. Since then I have been ahead on rent, as i paid julys at the same time as june. I advised them about the service dog along with a letter from my doctor. They apologized. I own the shed, they permitted me to build a skid shed, and the storage bin I built so I could lock up all of the chemicals and fertilizers to keep them away from neighborhood kids.The carpet cleaner I hired is the same one they use, plus a friend of mine owns a tile and flooring business that can look under and determine the shape of the hardwood underneath. He does business with them also.When I first rented this house I was unaware that it was moved here in 1993, I thought it was built here, but found out from the city it has to meet all codes like it was built in 93.I am always willing to do work as long as they ! cover the supplies exc...Show more
Jesusita Dykhoff: "I am not sure if in Kansas they are permitted to look in dressers, cabinets, personal totes, my portable shed or my garden storage bin outside."The dressers and such, no. If you own the shed and storage bin, no."Would this walkthrough be the time to request repairs" You should request repairs as soon as you know there is an issue. Waiting for an inspection may let the problem get worse which you would be responsible for." bringing things up to code that are out of code,"This should have been done BEFORE you moved in and brought to his attention IMMEDIATELY. He is required to make sure the unit passes code, otherwise he can get in deep s**t with the authorities."but don't want to demand alot and get on their bad side "Maybe you could offer to do the work for a small compensation on your rent? As a landlord, if I had a qualified tenant willing to do upkeep or upgrade work for compensation, I'd consider it. It m! ight also lead to a "handyman" contract."One concern I have is! due to my ADHD, I have cluttering tendencies, not hoarding, just clutter,"Clutter, as long as it does not block walkways and exits, is normal. Just make sure your clutter never becomes a hazard."no pet policy, but i have a service dog for epilepsy,"They cannot evic or prevent you from having this dog. it is a bona fide medical reason and the courts would side with you if the landlord tried to evict."for an inventory, but never came so I never got one, but I have dated photos"Smart. This is a problem with both landlords and tenants lying (or remembering differently?) about the condition of the unit when the tenant initially moved in." I am hoping they don't blame me for the pet stains, as they were there when I moved in and the carpet cleaners I hired awhile back said they were way to big to be from my dog."As long as you have evidence to support your claim, youshould be OK. Now, this doesn't prevent the landlord from taking you to court as everyone has the right to be ! heard before a judege, but by having evidence your case is made stronger than "he said..."...Show more
Stan Conley: The landlord has no right to go through your drawers, cupboards, file cabinets or any of your personal belongings. Clutter shouldn't matter. All they care about is that the walls and floor and ceiling are clean, and anything like the toilet or shower that they own is also clean. You could have a bookshelf full of disorganised chaos, and they can't really say anything, apart from their own personal opinion, as long as it is not affecting any of the actual property. Your dog is not technically a pet, so if they question you, there should be allowances for your situation. Perhaps you have some sort of medical certificate that you can show if they question you? Also, if they want to argue over the carpet stains, you have the right to call in a professional and let them evaluate the stains for the landlord (you could even provably get the landlord to pay). I ! think if you want to bring up the maintenance issues, do it subtly. You! might say, should these power-points be waterproof? If they are actually not meeting legal standards then you can definitely call them up on it, and if they choose to ignore you, then you can go over their head to the next highest authority, such as the real estate agent....Show more
Lou Rought: You are entitled in your defense deposit or a legitimate rationale why it was once denied. You did not take pics, that is satisfactory. He goes to must turn out that you simply left your location in some other situation than what you are saying. Yes a "he mentioned/she mentioned" difficulty. However, on this case, the LL will want a few evidence of damages; graphics, witnesses, reciepts of maintance, and many others... If he are not able to turn out you have been declined your SD for a legitimate rationale, odds are, you'll be able to win. My inspiration is ship a letter through licensed mail inquiring for your SD again. Do now not be impolite or threatening within the letter! , that might very without problems be used towards you in courtroom (if it is going that a long way). Be exceptional, respectful, request SD again.... If he nonetheless does now not provide it again or does now not ship you a letter declaring why he is not returning it, cross via small claims. (And keep a copy of the letter to your possess documents) As for the way a lot, simply the $500. The double go back is regularly for persons that have been wronged by means of being kicked out earlier than their hire ends for no legitimate rationale or had assets withheld by means of the LL, and many others.... well success, wish all is going good.....Show more
