3 Things To Do If You’re Having Issues With Your Landlord

By

When you’re a renter, having a good landlord and a good relationship with that landlord can make a big difference in your life. Especially if you’ve had a negative relationship with a landlord before, you know how much better it is to either work through this and get to a good place. So if you’re having problems with your current landlord but you don’t want to have to move, here are three things that you can do to deal with these issues in a positive way.

Check Your Lease

For many people who are having issues with the landlord, one of the biggest problems can come because their landlord isn’t doing what they say they will or what they should do.

If this is the situation that you’re finding yourself in, one of the first things that you should do is take a look at your lease. Within your lease, it should outline both what you are responsible for and what your landlord is responsible for. And just like how you sometimes forget what’s stated in this document, your landlord can forget, too. So if you notice that it clearly states something like that your landlord will take care of maintenance or other items, reminding them of this by showing them in the lease can be a good way to get the ball rolling.

Get Your Requests In Writing

When you do make requests of your landlord about anything, something that can be helpful to you is to get all of these requests in writing. Within these requests, make sure you reference in your lease where it states that your landlord should be taking care of this action.

By keeping a record of the requests that you make, you’ll be able to prove to a lawyer or others that you’ve done everything that you can to get this matter taken care of. Then, if you take further action like withholding rent or deducting the cost from your rent when you take care of things on your own, you can have something tangible to justify your actions.

Learn What Your Rights Are

Before you take any more drastic measures, something that can be helpful to you is to learn what your rights are as a renter. While you may not be able to do much, you still do have rights to live in a safe place.

If you’re unsure about what your rights are, you should do some research specific to the state that you live in, as these rights and procedures will vary based on where you live. But once you know what cards you have to play as a tenant, you can better maneuver the situation.

If you’re someone who’s having issues with the landlord, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you know what some of your options are.

Most Iconic Hairstyles in Film

By

Hair has always been a trait that has been admired. Look at classic stories like Rapunzel. She didn’t ever cut her hair and it gave her magical powers. Because of her luscious locks, Rapunzel was forced to remain in a tower, hidden away from the prying eyes of the world, but that didn’t stop a prince from finding her.
He must have been drawn to her because of her hair, right? Okay. Maybe the story has different interpretations…perhaps it wasn’t her hair at all, but fate. But now that we’re thinking about it, Rapunzel wasn’t the only one to receive magical-like powers from not cutting her hair. The power of a hairstyle actually goes all the way back to biblical times with Samson and Delilah. [Read more…]

Anthony Hopkins Eyed for Red 2

By

The great ensemble action comedy film Red was a lot of fun to watch. The film adaptation of the fun-to-read comicbook was very entertaining, mostly due to the spot on casting of Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and the scene-stealing John Malkovich.
The success of RED obviously means a sequel is in the cards. According to director Dean Parisot, the producers are already on the lookout for actors who are within a certain age group (that is, the age group that would fit within the RED ensemble) and would be a great addition to the cast. Already, they have set their sights on Anthony Hopkins, who has expressed interest in joining the sequel. [Read more…]
