800 for rent.

So I live with four ppl in a three room apt. The owner of the apt that has the contract under her name and no one else. She also placed the dwn payment ten yrs ago of I knw to believe is 600. So a new owner came in to place two months ago and rised the deposit to 875. So the person I pay out my rent to tolled me that she was goin to split thr new deposit three ways although theres four ppl in my apt.

Now I was thinkin why do I have to pay a deposit if my names not on the contract and also this lady on pays 30 dollars of rent?

The rent is divide like this apon four ppl, I pay 300, my mom 300, old lady that sleeps on couch 170 and my landlord 30. So basically my landlord is saving a shit load of money with just me and my moms.

Now my names not on the contract and when I first moved in I wasnt asked for a deposit. My landlord barely pays rent why cant she pay the new amount? Am I on the wrong?

I gave her $45 already but next time around am goin to give her 255. I dont feel that I need to pay her part of the deposit since a. She pays jack shit of rent and b. Its her name on the contract.

 

never good to fight with a landlord...even if she's a scum...too bad you blew your dough on that string change eh?..........not your business what her deal is and she should absolutely not be asking you to contribute to her deposit

that said...pay her and keep things happy at home...she probably puts up with all your heavy metal attitude,right?

 

Check out your local laws about landlord/tenancy info. Unfortunately, often times shared accommodations don't fall under theses aws, and you are stuck with whatever your "landlord" says.
If you can get your name on the contract, then you have a lot more pull.

 

you tell her, "our agreement was..." (whatever the hell your agreement was)

Then tell her, "whatever happens on your side of the fence with your negotiations is none of my business, nor responsibility.

 

I pay 850 for a two bedroom , but thats a bunch of bullshit brother

 

On her behalf??

 

In one hand ur tellin me its none of my business but in the other she shouldnt b askin me for it?

I mean I gave half already but I dont feel entitled to give her the rest.



Heavy metal attitude lol.......mayb

 

go to your nearest c.a.b. office j.they'll know whats the best thing for ye ta do

 

what is c.a.b?


maybe find a new apartment. you, your mom, and the old lady could probably find a three bedroom for the same money, or a two bedroom for less.

if your ll is only paying $30 a month for rent, does not sound like a good deal.

 

c.a.b=citizens advice bureau.its a free service for help with stuff.it might be called something else there.
