Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities

questions & answers

Question: My landlord has told me that he is going into foreclosure soon. He has began to remove things from the home because he 'owns' it and wants to take it before the bank takes the home. Items include: storage shed, backyard patio ceiling, steel bars from the windows. Is this legal? Should their be a change in rent due to the cosmetic change of the house?

Answer: The landlord is probably breaching your rental agreement and may well be defrauding the bank/lender. You should be entitled a reduction in the rent equivalent to the reduced value of the property.
