The NYC Commission on Human Rights has a brochure, "Reasonable Accommodation in Housing Is the Law", that describes the landlord's legal responsibilities regarding a tenant's right to make reasonable changes to both the public and private areas to accommodate their disability. If the landlord is denying you or a client permission to make modifications, GEM recommends that you give him/her a copy of their brochure. To obtain a copy, contact the Commission on Human Rights at 212-306-7530.

If you are a tenant in a building, there are several things you can do to get your landlord to make repairs; however, you may want to take the following steps in order to establish a record: If the superintendent or management company does not respond, write a letter to the owner of the building that describes the problems in your apartment and asks for the repairs to be made by a certain date.

Battery operated smoke detectors may be installed within the tenant space in most multiple dwellings provided they are maintained, tested and inspected as follows: The owner of the building or his representative shall inspect each detector whenever a change of occupant occurs; and The owner of the building or his representative shall clean the detector and/or replace the batteries as necessary, but at least once a year, to assure proper operation.

Approval must be taken from the Developer and Dubai Municipality to make changes. After possession no change can be made without permission from either party.

If there are situations present in your home/apartment that the landlord refuses to repair/mend/attend to, you may seek assistance from the City of Bethlehem Bureau of Inspections at (610) 865-7097. They will come and inspect your home and may require your landlord to bring the sub-standard condition up to code standards. The following is a list of potential code violations that the inspectors may look for:

Serious repair issues, such as faulty electrical wiring, gas leaks, and structural damage may be violations of the local building code which should be brought to the attention of the Building Inspection office for your city or county. The Building Inspector may inspect your building, and if warranted, issue a citation to the landlord for any violations that require repairs. Section 55-248.13 of the VRLTA outlines the duties and responsibilities of the landlord to maintain the rental property.

Unless it is an emergency, no landlord can enter an apartment, absent a lease provision or a court order. Pursuant to G.L. c. 186, ?15B, a lease for residential property can provide that the landlord may enter to inspect the premises, to make repairs or to show the same to a prospective tenant, purchaser, mortgagee or its agents before the termination date of the lease.

No. In Ohio, a tenant whose landlord refuses or fails to make repairs cannot withhold their rent. However, the tenant may deliver to the landlord written notice of the defective conditions or repairs requested. Then, if the landlord does not make the repairs in a reasonable amount of time, the tenant may deposit her rent with the Court. You can get more information about rent deposit from the Housing Court Specialists on the 13th Floor of the Justice Center.

The tenant has been given 24-hours written notice of the entry which will be made during daylight hours; A notice to quit has been given and the landlord will enter to show the premises to prospective tenants or purchasers; or If you have any other questions contact the Public Enquires Office website, or the NS Tenancy Board's Frequently Asked Questions.

All exchanges must have the written permission of both landlords but permission is only refused on certain grounds. The following refers to England and Wales, in Scotland the law is different so get advice from your housing officer. If you would like a full copy of the legal grounds for refusing consent they are contained in Schedule 3 of the Housing Act 1985. The list below should only be treated as a summary for tenants.

People who file for bankruptcy are entitled to certain immediate protections from certain legal actions -- part of what is called the "automatic stay" effect of a bankruptcy filing, because many potential legal actions against the filer are stopped (known as "stayed" in legal terms). But as of October 17, 2005, when the new bankruptcy laws took effect, some of these protections have been eliminated. One key change is that filing for bankruptcy no longer delays or stops eviction actions.

Perhaps. Most landlords prohibit waterbeds to limit liability. There is insurance available that protects the property owner against damage caused by waterbeds. Should any damage to the owner's property occur due to the failure of your waterbed this policy will pay for that damage.

No, your landlord should give you a 24 hour notice verbally or in writing before visiting your apartment. If he is coming to show the apartment to a potential tenant, he can come between 9am to 9pm. If it is to make repairs, he can come between 7am and 7pm. And if it is an urgent repair, he may come with no notice at any time.

The owner of a rent stabilized building is required to send you a lease renewal between 90 and 150 days before your existing lease expires. You then have 60 days to accept the lease renewal offer. If you wait longer than 60 days the landlord can refuse to renew your lease and could move to evict you after the lease expires. For more information on lease renewal in rent stabilized apartments see the fact sheet.
