HI,
My name is Sue and I would like to ask a question from someone who knows roommate laws or shared living law. My question is this: Can my landlord come into my portion of the house without 24 hour notice? My second question is can he legally hold my damage deposit if he can't find another tenant if I have given him a 30 day written notice? I have asked him to sign my list of things that needed attention in my residence so that I am not held liable when I move out. He has refused to sign it so far and I want to know if he produces a list of deductions from my damage deposit, and they are not correct due to my original list, can I take him to small claims court? He says he can hold it and pay himself for cleaning my carpet. I was present when he used a store rented carpet cleaner and there was still stains on the carpet. I do not want to pay for a professional cleaner to come in when it was not professionally cleaned when I moved in. Please help!
Thank you so much. Is there something called room mate law? My landlord states there is and it is different from tenant law. Is there a web site I can go to?
