What can you do as a renter when the landlord has not paid asessment fees to the association?

If the association fees are part of the obligations of your landlord under your lease agreement you could pay the fees directly, then deduct them from the rent, sending a letter to the landlord with the accounting. You should check to see if there is a landlord-tenant agency in your area and call for advice.

In California can a landlord charge administrative fees?
I am not sure if the rule varies by state but the landlord can't charge any fees other than state regulated late fees and court cost if evicted, unless it's stated in your lease. You would have to be informed of any changes at least 30 days prior to the charge being assessed.
If you are evicted what happens to Security Deposit?
If situations have deteriorated to the point of being evicted, then it is serious business. In those cases, and/all deposits the renter paid might be forfeited. Unless the written contract/lease so specifies otherwise, the renter could be out that money. The deposit would be applied to the amount owed (rent, any damages and legal fees for eviction) and the renter would be billed for the rest.
If you are on section 8 can a landlord raise your rent without notifying you and charge 10 percent late fees plus 5.00 a day?
If you are on section 8, any rent increases must be approved by the Housing Authority administering your program. The amount of rent you pay has to be based on the fair market value of the rent in your area. But under the section 8 program what you pay is according to your income and is dictated by the Housing Authority, not your landlord. You should not ever pay your rent late. Remember that your landlord has also agreed to the program. If your Housing Authority agrees to allow the landlord to do so, the landlord may charge late fees and daily charges if your rent is late. If you feel that you are being unfairly charged extra fees such as exorbitant late fees, talk to your Housing Authority about this: they can put you somewhere else. Generally a late fee is a flat rate of usually about $25. But it is based on a percentage of the amount of rent you are supposed to pay, not what you and the Housing Authority pay. The housing program is set up to help you; it is not ever going to be the same as what you might choose if you were under other circumstances where you had a choice. Therefore, you compromise and work things out as best you can; suing is not really going to work in this circumstance. Late fees are legal under the Section 8 program, but the fees must comply with what is spelled out in your rental lease. If you are being charged a fee that is not in your lease, then bring your concern to the agency that issued your voucher.
Are there limits for late fees under Georgia landlord tenant agreement?
SINCE EVERY STATE IS DIFFERENT, the best thing to do is go to your local TOWN HALL, and ask to see the book that has your state statutes and laws regarding LANDLORD/TENANT renting and leasing laws. It's ALL THERE. Good Luck! <<<ADR>>>
Can a property management office evict you after 5 days after the 5th of the month here in Las Vegas and can they also charge you all those late fees?
Get a copy of your lease and check what it says about late payments. Most do charge late fees and if you are late a number of times, they evict you. If the fees are beyond that, check the Landlord and Tenant laws for your state. Rent is a fixed expense and there is usually no latitude as to when it is due regardless of your situation.
Could there be money do to a renter for living and paying rent every month and dealing with leakiy septic?
Landlord-tenant laws are different in every state. In some, there would be money due to the renter, if verbal and written requests made to the landlord to repair the leaky septic [tank?] were ignored, and the renter wound up having to pay for the repairs himself/herself. The renter then has the burden of proof (i.e., has to produce evidence such as photos of the leaky plumbing, receipts for repairs done, including costs for parts and labor), production of eyewitnesses to the problem, and copies of letters to landlord, etc., if he/she plans to file a Small Claims lawsuit against the landlord to collect the money. If the renter wins in such a case, the court would allow him/her to include the court and process-of-service costs (postage and fees of delivery of court papers to the landlord by the Sheriff's Department, courier service or registered/certified mail), attorney costs, etc. You can contact your local housing authority, or a landlord-tenant lawyer for advice on how to proceed for such a situation.

Can an apartment landlord in Texas charge fees not in lease such as paper billing and HOA fees?
It is unseemly that a landlord can charge a tenant for other than the items listed in the lease. You can pay them and take your landlord to landlord-tenant court for reimbursement, or you can approach a landlord-tenant advocacy to find the answer that you want.
Can a landlord purposely avoid taking rent money in an attempt to evict the renter on grounds of not paying rent?
Not if the rent is being paid on time. But landlords can try. If this happens then the tenant will need to pay the rent to the Clerk of Court or prothontary's registry. He can then explain to the judge and probably win. Now, if the rent is not paid on time and the landlord charges late fees, then the landlord has the right to refuse to take the payment if the late fee is not included in the payment, provided it says on the lease that the late fees become part of the rent for which no partial payment is accepted.

What is California law for landlords charging management fees?
I believe it is solely the landlord's responsibility to pay management fees. The landlord charges rent. All fees come out of the rent. Some areas of California have rent control, others do not.
What does it mean if a condo association puts a lien on your condo if you haven't been able to pay your asessment fees?

Can a landlord sue a tenant for expenses after tenant sued for security deposit and lost?
Probably YES. Read your lease. The tenant may be held liable for all legal fees incurred by a landlord by actions of a tenant. Since the landlord had to provide a defense, he incurred fees. Just as if you WON, you may have been able to collect YOUR legal fees. Laws vary by state and I am not an attorney. See RentLaw.com for general info.
