My tenant call me saying that the house got no electricity. She say when she got back from church and turn on the light switch there's no light and heard a big noise. I told her to go to the basement to turn the two breaker off and on. She did and the house got electricity back but only the garage that got not electricity. Does anyone know why? Any advice is appreciate. I got the house rewired and change new breaker before I rented the place.

Desperate Advice on not normal terms
To make a long story short I am in desperate need for some feed back as to what my rights are. I am only 19years old and I had to rent and learn the hard way. To make a long story short I rented an apartment. It was for one year or I could give a thirty days notice and leave before hand. four months went by and I gave my thirty days notice and left. My questions are: He said I was not going to get the security deposit back because of these charges: putting ads in the paper, and for not being able to find a renter for the following month wich was july. Can he claim that as an expense not being able to find a renter? Second question, when I was to move in, the previous tenant was still their for another week? Any rights? Third Question, when I moved in, their were no cabinets nor kitchen sink. I had put new cabinets in, and upfurnished alot more of the apartment like 3,000 dollars worth. Am i entitled to any of this back? Fourth question, the property owners name nor address is writen or given to me on my lease, will this void my contract? Fifth question, my lease says he can enter my apartment at my permission. He did not have my permission and still entered. Also he said I viloated the term of the lease, but the lease says I can leave ahead of time grant it a thirty day notice. Is this true I dont know what to do, like I said its not a normal rental and I really would like some good advice on what to do.

Evicting Tenant in PA
Quick question for everyone living in PA. I have made several mistakes that I will not be making again. I have to evict a tenant that is on a oral month to month agreement. How many days do I have to give him in his notice. I see some sites say 15 days others say 10. Any suggestions? Thanks

no a/c
if the a/c is not working and landlord has attempted several times to fix it by sending out repair men, do I still have to pay rent for the days it wasn't working?

Military lease termination
My tenant signed a lease January 1, 2007 for one year. He is a National Guard member. He was activiated to duty sometime in april or May of 2007 and was deployed. His family remained behind in the house. In January 2008, while he was still overseas, his spouse signed the request to renew lease form (she is also on the lease) and we renewed the terms of the lease to 12/31/2008. I was driving past the house on 7/11/08, saw a moving truck and stopped to inquire. Tenant says he is back from deployment and his civilian employer (state job) has reassigned him to a location 250 from the house and he is moving immediately. I told him how surprised I was that he was intending to move without notice, but that I was willing to work with him to terminate his lease early if any military provisions applied. He promised to send notice in writing and back it up with military documentation. Ten days later we received a letter stating that he intended to move end July and that he did not feel that he was required to give notice beyond that due to his military service. I feel that he owes the August rent since he didn't give written notice until the letter received on 7/19. I am willing to let him out of the lease due to his circumstances but can't believe that he would be entitled to just walk away without any notice. Please advise your thoughts.
Thanks.

Cable/ Directv
I own and live in my 2 family house with my family and a tenant in the apartment on the side of the house. When I rented my apartment to my tenant my husband & I told her that the apartment was wired for Directv not cable. We just had siding put on the house and told her we did not want any drilling done on the house. She agreed and got Directv. She has been living here for almost a year now and she called cable TV and ordered it and if I didn't catch the installer and stop him he would have drilled into my new siding. I told him to stop and he left. I feel that I am right not to want holes in my house. Am I right? Please advise????

dirty window ledges
I manage a very old apartment complex. Our strong point is the size of our apartments 1100 square feet and the fact when you walk the grounds it is very country and homey looking. I feel appearance is everything. With that in mind it irks me to no end how filthy several window ledges are. Do I have a right to ask my tenants to wipe them down? Appreciate any info you can give me.
