My landlord has removed one window unit for repairs 2 weeks ago, and is now removing the last one, claiming it is leaking water on the outside of the building. I signed a lease for an apartment that had two a/c window units, and now one is gone, and the other is in the “repair shop”.
Signed,
Hot and mad!

Rent Back

I rent a room to a friend and he owes me $585 in back rent. We only have a verbal rental agreement but I do keep track of what he owes and what is paid. Will this be enough to take him to court?

I’m earning about £21000 a year and planning to find a flat in central/north London. I’ve seen a couple of them around £220 a week but that represents 50% of my monthly income (21000/12 = 1750 ; 1750*0.5 = 875 per month for rent). Is 50% to much.. would I still have enough money for food, council tax, transportation, etc?

Do you know of any “cost of living” calculator online to guide me through the usual expenses of a household and see what would be left from the income .. if any.

Sell and Rent Back

My roommate didn’t pay his half of rent for three months and now we owe back rent and are getting evicted. On the summons it says that we owe $1,304 in back rent. If i pay all of that before the court date will the judge dismiss the eviction and will I get to stay in my apartment?

I rent out a small flat - my property “business”. I am declaring my income to the tax man. Because I do the paperwork for the “business” in my own home, can I claim back a proportion of my own household bills from the tax man?

Quick House Sale

We are looking to move to London soon and we were wondering if it is cheaper to rent a furnished apartment or an unfurnished one? If the apartment is furnished do you have to pay extra to have the furniture removed?

Would appreciate any insights. Thanks!

Quick House Sale

I live in an older apartment and it’s in a sad state of disrepair. The cable lines and phone lines are in dire need of replacement (I have spoke to technicians from both Comcast and AT&T and they confirmed that the lines need switching out), the coin-op washers and driers only work half the time, and the building (but not our apartment) leaks everywhere when it rains, in fact this time our mail was soaked because it was leaking above the mailboxes.

Is there anything I can do to force our landlord to fix the place up? I live in California, is there somewhere I can make a complaint as to the conditions?

I’ve asked him repeatedly about the problems we’re having but nothing ever comes of it.
