How does not paying on a civil judgement effect your credit
Just received a civil judgement against me for the amount of $2,265.00 for breaking a rental lease through an individual and not a company because I bought a house and just could not stay out the lease time. If I do not pay this judgement, could my credit be attacked? Thanks a lot.

Apartment lease renewal
My question is how much money can be inceased at the renewal of the rental lease of apartment?

I rent an apartment with $675/ a month with $310 of concession when we moved in this apartment. and I got the notice for the renewal of my rental of an apartment. In the letter, they said that they offer $785/month.

I am just wondering if there is any law for the increasement of the money for next renewal of an apartment.

What defines “reasonable wear and tear” in a residential lease?

What defines “reasonable wear and tear” in a residential lease?
I recently moved out of a house that I have been leasing for 3 1/2 years. The landlord is now telling me that painting all of the interior walls is part of the conditions for reclaiming my security deposit, because my wife and I are smokers. This was known to him at the time we signed the lease, and there is no mention of it in the lease.

My opinion is that it is part of reasonable wear and tear. Every place I have ever rented in the past, the landlord has come in behind me and repainted the entire house/apartment before re-renting it.

Who is correct here?
