I had a lease that ended in May of 2008 in which I paid weekly rent on and then it ended and it reverted month to month as stated in the lease agreement would this mean I would pay the monthly amount listed on the paperwork or do I still have to pay the weekly rent?

Also they were charging me weekly for my pets and this is not listed on the lease am I responsible for this?

Thank you

If the landlord was accepting weekly payments they should continue to do so. This includes the pet payments.

I moved out of my place and I did not have a lease it had run out 6 months earlier. The landlord is trying to charge me for a week of rent even though I have a voice message stating I was paid with the exception of the past due amount I owed her of $300 plus late fees. She is trying to charge me for a tub restoration saying it is not normal wear and tear the tub has some soap scum on the ridges but if you see the pictures you can see I clearly scrubbed it even the drain is clean and clear (would this be normal wear and tear? She is charging $385.) She is also charging me for carpet cleaning even though she did not have this done prior to me moving in (can I ask her to provide that receipt also?)I was also told by another landlord that she needs to provide proof my deposit was in an escrow account is this true? I need some advice on whether or not I have a leg to stand on if I bring her to court this is a large amount of money she is trying to charge me. The only thing I failed to mention here is that the place had mice and all she did was bring me two traps and the water only worked properly if we all took turns between units to shower. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP.

What State? In some States she must provide you with written notice within X number of days in order to keep the security deposit. Escrow rules differ State to State.

Otherwise - you go to Court with your proof (photos) and she goes to Court with hers (photos, estimates) and the Judge hears you both and decides what is normal wear and tear. As far as the mice and water - did you put your complaint in writing and/or move out?

The mice and water have nothing to do with the withholding of the security deposit, unfortunately.

Issues on same tenancy in other post provide background and should be combined.

I answered the other post.

This was in the State of NH. I did put the complaints in emails but like I stated she provided traps but I guess that doesn't matter since it has nothing to do with her withholding the deposit.

Exactly -

You are going to have to weigh the benefits of suing her vs the benefits of waiting to see if she sues you and then decide how to proceed.
