Landlord Question and Answer Forum

I have tenants that are 2 months behind on their lease and still owe me for a bounced check for 1/2 the security deposit. Their one yr. lease expires Oct. 31st. The place is a pig sty to say the least. She refuses to answer the phone, certified letters, etc. Is a landlord responsible for the water bill in all states?

RE: Eviction
Each state had their own set of statutes and laws. The water bill issue will vary according to locale. This site is a great resource for state requirements. Have you started the eviction process yet? It sounds to me that you need to see what the eviction procedures are for your location and get started right away.

Each state has its own requirements. I would agree to check what they are, even locally, and go from there. The leases is critical, so make sure you have the correct rights to proceed as stated in the document. Check this website for some great information!

RE: Eviction
When you say 7 days, Nadirah, do you mean you want them out in 7 days? Is there a section in the lease that permits that?

RE: Eviction
It is a great question, Kathleen. Again, I agree that you need to use the lease and the terms of the lease on any of these issues. Otherwise, you are working without a net! This website has great resources for this.
