Is it illegal for a present landlord to withhold rental history for any reason?
Kittyma
In many states it is illegal for a landlord to hold from a prospective tenant any material facts in the rental of that unit, such as that a death occurred in that unit. But the tenant would have to prove damages that resulted from the withholding of that material fact.

Can a landlord hold a tenant responsible for a lease agreement if the tenant was not mentally competent and no attorney was present at the signing of the lease agreement?
Did a court adjudicate the tenant as incompetent? Then, if and when the landlord sues, that would provide the basis for a defense. You can't stop the landlord from trying to recover damages.

Can you take your landlord to court for putting you out?
It depends on the circumstances. If the landlord illegally evicted you, yes, you're entitled to damages as a result of a breach of lease and law. A landlord is required to give notice of lease terminate based on how often you pay rent or as specified in your lease agreement. If you pay rent every month, the landlord is required to give one months notice. If the landlord physically removed your possessions without a court ordered eviction or cause, he's responsible for not only the illegal eviction but the cost of the damages to property sustained in an illegal eviction. In many jurisdictions, you're also entitled to your full security deposit back as a result of a lease breach. However, if your landlord legally and lawfully evicted you, you do not have cause of action unless the landlord fails to return your security deposit. Remember, the landlord is entitled to inspect the unit for any damages and you are allowed by law to be present and given notification as to when the inspection will take place. You also have the right to refute in court any damages in which the landlord claims you caused. In most situations where a tenant has lived in a house, apartment, or room for 10 years or more, significant wear and tare is factored in.

What To Know When Dealing With A Lease?
For most people, signing an apartment lease agreement is a small event of little consequence. They don't really put a lot of time or planning into the lease and they just sign what the landlord gives them. This is not a good idea, though, as an apartment lease agreement is a binding contract. What is in that lease agreement must be done by you or you could face eviction or a lawsuit. With that in mind, it should go without saying that you have to read your apartment lease agreement fully. Understand what you are signing before you sign it. Also understand these principles.Some small breach by the landlord doesn't give you the power to withhold rentOne thing that many people believe is that any little problem gives them the right to withhold their rent. Though this varies by state and there are fluid situations present, the majority of mistakes by your landlord do not remove your own duty to pay the rent. A limited number of circumstances provide for a situation where you can withhold rent in an effort to compel the landlord's action. These situations usually have to do with the safety of the apartment. The smart move is to pay the rent on time, as the landlord can come across the top and impose penalties if you do not.Reasonable fees and penaltiesUnderstand, as well, that many things are not defined in your apartment lease agreement. Some agreements leave the late fees open and impose a duty on the landlord to impose "reasonable fees" when you are late with payments. You should keep track of what the landlord does with this. If they are charging a high percentage of your rent in fees, then you might have a case. They do not have the right to charge you hundreds of dollars each month just because you were a little bit late.The covenant of quiet enjoymentOne thing central to landlord-tenant law is that you have an expectation of quiet enjoyment. This means that landlords and others are not allowed to do things that make it impossible for you to enjoy your space. If the landlord is constantly bugging you or coming over without authorization, then you have some rights in court. Remember this and don't let yourself get run over in these situations.
