...January 11, 2009 Mr. John Doe 1111 Mc Graw street San Diego Ca, 92117 Re: Demand for Payment Dear Mr. Doe: Please be advised that you owe me the sum of $700.00 because the laws of Calirfornia regarding renters rights prohibit a landlord fron witholding money from a security deposit except for the following reasons:1) For unpaid rent;2) For cleaning the rental unit when the tenant moves out, but only to make the unit as clean as it was when the tenant first moved in,3) For repair of damages, other than normal wear and tear, caused by the tenant or the tenant's guests; and 4) If the lease or rental agreement allows it, for the cost of restoring or replacing furniture, furnishings, or other items of personal property (including keys), other than because of normal wear and tear.Due to the fact that the rented room was left in better condition than when I moved in, none of the above holds true. This will be your only chance to settle this matter before I file suit against you in Small Claims Court. I am agreeable to a lump sum payment, or to a payment plan. Please contact me on or before January 16, 2009 for purposes of settling this matter. If I do not hear from you on or before January 16, 2009, I will file a lawsuit against you without further notice. It is in your best interest to settle this matter before a lawsuit is filed. If a judgment is obtained against you, it will negatively affect your ability to get credit, you will be ordered to pay court costs...

...Landlord tenant laws, are all state laws the same? The purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding of landlord tenant laws and make a comparison between several states. The majority of the information used in this paper will come from the States of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. However, there are some court cases from other states that will be examined as well. The most important thing for all parties involved to understand is exactly what is expected of them and for these expectations to be defined in a formal document called a lease. A lease is a formal legal document outlining the terms under which one party agrees to rent property from another party. [1] A lease is designed to protect both the landlord and the tenant and serve as a legal binding contract depicting each parties responsibilities. In addition to a lease most state and local governments have requirements that need to be met called standard living conditions. For the most part these living conditions are similar from state to state. In some instances cities have code enforcers who do inspections on homes once they become vacant. Generally this inspection consists of a walkthrough of the apartment or house while it is vacant to ensure that the property meets standard living conditions. Some items that are inspected are windows, doors, handrails on stairs, working heating system and hot water. A person living in the state of West Virginia has the right to live in decent housing...

...Apartment • Apartment: a relatively self-contained housing unit in a building which is often rented out to one person or a family, or two or more people sharing a lease in a partnership, for their exclusive use. Sometimes called a flat or digs (slang). Some locales have legal definitions of what constitutes an apartment. In some locations, "apartment" denotes a building that was built specifically for such units, 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...

...Property Management Can anyone here tell me what the role of a property manager is? Madam Toastmaster, ladies & gentlemen. My name is ____________ and I am currently employed as a property manager at a local real estate agency. I manage almost 300 rental properties and have a great team backing me up Tonight I would like to share with you a very small part of what is involved in property management. While my responsibilities vary from property to property, I have to maintain a few basic skills such as good time management, good people skills and an eye for detail. When you are looking after almost 300 properties, these skills are essential. I would like to talk to you tonight about 3 important steps I need to follow when a new tenancy commences 1. Finding & screening new tenants 2. Completing an entry condition report for the property 3. Managing tenants and their needs FINDING & SCREENING NEW TENANTS Tenants are the vital lifeline of any rental property because no tenant means no rental income for an owner. Part of my role as a property manager is to effectively advertise rental properties and in turn find an appropriate tenant. When a prospective tenant comes into the office, I have a critical task at hand screening the potential tenant. This is a 2 step process. Step 1 involves showing any interested tenants around the rental property. While I am doing this I need to find out as much as I can about them. I want to make sure they are suited...

...AirBnB.com – What’s the big deal? Air BnB is a growing online service which facilitates the availability and marketing of, generally, residential accommodation as tourist accommodation. Airbnb defines itself as a “social website that connects people who have space to spare with those who are looking for a place to stay". The site has been the subject of much debate around its creation of a sharing economy for tourist accommodation which may avoid taxes, expose guests to undue risks, and broadly have a negative impact on legitimate tourist accommodation. The last of these is a real concern as the site lists accommodation under three primary types: 1. “Entire place” – basically a holiday home or unit generally 2. “Private Room” – similar to B & B style accommodation 3. “Shared room” – similar concept / style to a sort of private backpacker accommodation However, by industry practice Air BnB equates to an OTA or booking engine in style and seemingly focuses and attracts micro accommodation providers covering many traditional styles but also simply free bed space (being the original concept). Indeed the term micro-hotel has cropped up a lot lately in line with the service. Basically it facilitates turning homes into tourist accommodation – a lot like a B & B or Holiday Home – so what’s the big deal? AirBnB charge guests a 9-12% service fee every time a reservation is booked, depending on the length of the reservation, and they charge hosts a 3% service...

...This case involves Peter Poyck verses Stan and Michelle Bryant. Poyck was an owner and landlord of a condominium unit, No. 5-D, located in a building at 22 West 15th Street, New York City. Poyck leased his unit to the Bryants and after three years of the tenants living there; they decided to sign another two-year lease. A few months into the new lease, new neighbors moved in next-door, unit No. 5-C. The new neighbors were smokers and constantly smoked in the fifth floor hallway, a common area, and in their apartment. The secondhand smoke penetrated into the Bryants unit causing them to complain to the building’s superintendent. The superintendent spoke with the smokers, but they refused to listen. The smoking continued so the Bryants decided to contact their landlord, Poyck, to see if he could rectify the issue. Poyck took no action; therefore, the Bryants vacated the premises with sixteen months still left on their lease. Poyck, the plaintiff, sued the Bryants, the defendants, for the unpaid rent. The Bryants argued that the secondhand smoke breached the implied warranty of habitability and thus caused constructive eviction. Constructive eviction is used in the law of real property to describe a circumstance in which the landlord does something or fails to do something that he has a legal duty to provide rendering the property uninhabitable. The landlord made a motion to strike the Bryants’ defense of breach of the implied warranty of habitability and constructive...

...Executive summary The concept of this report is about marketing intervention, which is the price ceiling and price floors. Price ceiling is actually set below the equilibrium price by lowering the price of the goods so that consumers can be able to afford the goods, then price floors which is set above the equilibrium price by increasing the price of some goods in order to protect the interest of some certain producers, and also to see the efficiency and inefficiency of both the price ceiling and price floors. Efficiency which is the economics allocating there resources in a good manner for example government rent control policy and inefficiency, is when the resources are not proper allocated an its example which is the black market and then some graphs that represent the price ceiling and price floors with their explanations and then lastly the real world example of price ceiling and evaluating the effective policy. Price ceiling and price floor are both price controls and also for government to interfere in the free market that changes the market equilibrium price. Price ceiling basically happens when the government puts a legal limits on how high a product price can be and it also disallow prices to exceed a certain maximum that causes shortages in order to be affordable by the consumers, there will be a shortage of goods when ever the price is set below the market price, in this situation demand will be higher or supply will be shortage because consumers will be demanding...
