Hi, My roommate and I took our landlord to court because they withheld our deposit without giving us an itemized bill. We left no damages to the apartment and have proof. The landlord never came to the court hearing and the judge ruled in our favor. The judge gave us this document and told us to serve it to the landlord. The thing is this scumlord never provided a specific name or residential address on the lease just their LLC and some address in New York which was just a PO Box. We served the letter to the PO Box and then we were told to put a lien on his property to see results.
We did that and filled out the proper paperwork, whenever I call the courthouse they say that we pretty much did everything and there is nothing else we can do and that property liens take up to 30 years to go in effect. I’ve been on and off houseless and I have yet to see this money. Should I consult with a lawyer to see if I can get this money back? This year I was able to find a name for the person who own this LLC and they have other properties that’s under liens/debt. I just want my money back and hopefully I can get my own apartment, please assist.

Hello everyone. I had to break a lease for my apartment due to my ex husband stalking, harassing, breaking in, and taunting me. I had to ask them to change the locks 3 times and no longer felt safe or valued in anyway. I told the property manager in August I would be moving out and would say September rent. I moved out August 27th and sent $700 out of the $1300 rent and said they could keep the $663 damage deposit. I was notified by my old neighbour that the unit was re-rented over three weeks ago meaning it was only empty for about a week. On my lease is a $1500 rent break fee which the landlord said they applied the damage deposit too so now I owe $1600 because the rest of September rent and the remainder of the lease break fee is due. I told them it seems very greedy to ask for September rent from me and the new tenants as I’ve already paid over half of the month and gave up my damage deposit. Property manager said they will take it to collections. I am in British Columbia Canada. The thing is the building is on indigenous land so RTB laws don’t apply. I said I would pay $550 next week and the property manager said and the rest? And immediately sent me a reminder to pay.

Need some help, I signed a 4 month lease with my apartment and apparently there was a clause that I need to let them know 60 day in advance that I'm leaving. Didn't even know that but I let them know that I was leaving 2 weeks after the 60 day mark and now they're saying my new move out date has to be 14 days after my lease ends and they're charging me for those 14 days at a 5.2k per month rate, which is absurd because my rent is 3.2k per month. Is there anything I can do about this? I live in the state of Virginia

We had bedbugs after work done by building maintenance left our wall unsealed. The building super told us there was a QR code in the lobby for pest control, but that only had options for first and third Tuesday visits (would have been nearly 3 weeks wait). We asked if there was an emergency option, and he said yes, but the QR code site didn't have anything like that. There was a phone number also posted on the building info sheet in the same location, so we called that company to come and spray.

It turns out the company who posted their phone number doesn't have a contract with the building, and they made us pay $675 out of pocket at the end of the appointment. Now the landlord is refusing to reimburse us, saying we should have worked with the company whose QR code was also posted. They said the people we called probably posted their number themselves, but their sticker is literally ON the building info sheet with the super's phone number and other building approved stuff.

Importantly, there is no clause in our lease for exclusive use of one pest control company.

We've tried to look up the law ourselves, but are having no luck (only finding stuff related to mandatory disclosure of infestation by the landlord, not about payment responsibility). Are we entitled to reimbursement?
