... whereas "flat" denotes a unit in a building that had been originally built as a single-family house, but later on subdivided into some multi-unit house type.[5] • Apartment building, Block of flats: a multi-unit dwelling made up of several (generally four or more) apartments. Contrast this with the two-family house and the three-family dwelling. An apartment (in US English) or flat (in British English and often associated with or miscontrued as social housing) is a self-contained housing unit (a type of residential real estate) that occupies only part of a building. Such a building may be called an apartment building, especially if it consists of many apartments for rent. Apartments may be owned by an owner/occupier or rented by tenants (two types of housing tenure). The term apartment is favored in North America, whereas the term flat is commonly, but not exclusively, used in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and most Commonwealth countries. In Malaysian English, flat often denotes a housing block of lesser quality meant for lower-income groups, while apartment is more generic and may also include luxury condominiums. In New Zealand English, the two terms are independent: apartment has the US sense, while flat usually refers to any rental property, but especially one shared by students or another non-family group. Tenement law refers to the feudal basis of permanent property such as land or rents. May be found combined as in "Messuage or...

...California affords a number of protections for tenants. If you are the owner of a rental property and frequently deal with residential and/or commercial leases, it is a very good idea to be well versed in the rights of renters so that you can protect your investment and yourself by being compliant with requirements. One of the most common disputes between a landlord and a tenant is the security deposit.

Rights of Tenants in Regard to Security Deposits: 1. The Amount of the Security Deposit is Limited - Almost any residential lease agreement in California will...

AUTHORIZATION OF PET(S) AT PROPERTY LOCATION: Landlord grants permission to Tenant to keep the pet(s) described herein on the Premises (also referred to as "Property") subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease and this Addendum.

Service animals and lease agreements are also guided by federal law under the Americans with Disabilities...

...Renters are called tenants. If someone pays rent on a regular basis to live in a home, you are a tenant governed by Florida law. This is true even if there is no written "lease" agreement. Under Florida law, tenants have certain rights they can expect, along with specific responsibilities toward the arrangement with a landlord. The state details those under the Florida Residential Landlord Tenant Act in the Florida Statutes at Part II, Chapter 83. A written lease could also affect a tenant's rights. Tenants should carefully review the lease, but understand that the Florida Residential Landlord Tenant Act prevails over what the lease says. TENANTS' RIGHTS A tenant is entitled to the right of private, peaceful possession of the dwelling. With notice, the landlord may enter only to inspect the premises or to make necessary or agreed repairs. If an emergency exists, the requirement for notice may be shortened or waived....

...was introduced in New York City after World War I. “Rent-controlled tenants live in buildings built before 1947 and have lived there continuously since 1971. They tend to be seniors on fixed incomes” (Thorbourne, 2015, para 1). City officials believed that the rapid rise in demand for rental units would drive up rent prices therefore price ceilings were instituted. This created a shortage in supply because it was not profitable for builders to continue construction where rent was regulated. Furthermore, a tenant is legally allowed to stay until they died or the agreement could be passed to a cohabitant that resided there for at least two years (Mceachern, 2014, p. 86). This causes an issue for landlords in the sense that they are not remaining profitable because rent controlled prices are dramatically lower than the free market. Landlords often take extreme measures in trying to catch tenants violating their lease so that they can terminate the binding agreement. By terminating the lease the landlord may not be bound by rent control once the tenant vacates. The below paragraphs will discuss the following questions associated when a price ceiling is imposed below the equilibrium level: 1. What happens to the quantity and quality of housing available? 2. What happens to the quality of housing and why? 3. Who benefits and loses from rent control? 4. How do landlords of rent-controlled apartments try to get tenants to leave? What happens to the quantity of housing available? Let...

...Landlord-Tenant Law Introduction Landlord-tenant law is one type of law that describes the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants (Portman, 2014). This law includes landlord duties for protection of tenants, and to recover or fix the damages whenever it occurs due to natural disasters. Tenants also have duties to preserve the premises of landlord, to pay the rent on time, not to damage the properties, etc under this law (Portman, 2014). This is a case study about landlord and tenant. In the given case study Roger is tenant and Larry is landlord. This paper is based on the legal duties and responsibilities of tenant and landlord in relation to the case of Larry Landlord and Roger Renter. In the case study one issue arises regarding the damage of property of both tenant and landlord. This case was given to me as mediator to solve the above issue and to give legal solution. This paper is going to address the legal rights and responsibilities of the landlord Larry and the tenant Roger, whether the landlord and the tenant have a legal duty to mitigate damages, whether Larry have legal grounds to evict Roger, whether Roger’s legal obligation to pay for the damage he caused or Larry would be liable for any direct damage. As a mediator I would provide legal advice to landlord Larry and tenant Roger regarding the rights and duties of the tenant and landlord in order to solve their issues at hand. Legal rights and responsibilities of the tenant and the landlord ...

...purpose of this leaflet is explain to landlords and tenants the correct procedure to lawfully end a tenancy. This leaflet is a general guide only and not an interpretation of the law and does not necessarily make reference to all relevant provisions. 1. When is a Tenancy Terminated? A tenancy may be terminated by either the landlord or the tenant for any one of a number of reasons. It could be due to a change of circumstances (e.g. the tenant buys a house, the landlord decides to sell the house) or because of the behaviour of the parties (e.g. the landlord is constantly disturbing the tenant, the tenant is in arrears of rent). No matter what the reason for the termination, the process is always the same. The person ending the tenancy must serve a notice of termination on the other party and that notice must comply with the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 in terms of the content of the notice itself and the amount of notice (i.e. what period of time until the dwelling is to be vacated) given. The content of the notice will depend on whether it is served by the landlord or tenant, the length of the tenancy and the reason for the termination. Where a tenancy that was entered into for a specific period (i.e. a fixed term tenancy) comes to the end of that period, a notice of termination does not have to be issued. If that period was 6 months or more and the tenant intends to continue in occupation, he/she must inform the landlord of that intention between one and three...
