Boris Hadsall: Dude, read your own lease. Almost every one forbids repairs to be made by the tenants. It is a cause for eviction.In fact, since you didn't approve the sprinkler system not only do you not have to pay for it, but they must leave it behind when they leave. Have your lawyer write them a "shut the hell up or leave" letter filled with all the proper legal words....Show more
Chadwick Schmelz: in case you secure a clause interior the employ that states that the owner can decide to end the employ with 30-60 day be conscious, particular! Did you contain a clause approximately accepting the domicile in its modern condition? what's the wording with that? If no longer, you do no longer would desire to maintain reimbursing them for those charges. you need to post a written be conscious to them reminding them that they've not got a real to alter the home according to the contract. A sprinkler device and paint activity would qualify as a replace. you have been very! accomodating so some distance. according to possibility this is why they think of they are able to maintain doing this. in case you basically tell them which you're executed with the accomodations, they'd have a transformation of heart. that is going to cost you cash to go them out and stumble on a sparkling renter. So perhaps taking a company stance with them and reitterating your modern contract with them will help resolve the subject....Show more
Clementina Collelo: What state do you live in? That would determine your rights. You can ask them to leave if you give them proper notice in writing as long as it's disclosed in the lease agreement you all signed that you may do so at your discretion. If you didn't specify a time frame in the lease then I would give them a 60 day notice. But check with the laws of your state to avoid a lawsuit. Going forward be sure to incorporate a clause in your lease that states all repair require approval before they are made and that! you will not be held responsible for repairs or additions mad! e that you didn't approve. Good Luck!...Show more
Dick Baumgarten: If it isn't in their lease that they are allowed to fix the house without prior consent to you, then yes you can break the contract. Check your local landlord-tenancy act and see what it says. If it's substantial enough of a breach, you can have them out in 24 hours.... good luck
Shon Almquist: sounds like you have just cause to kick them out. My godmother is a landlord, and with her tenants (I was one for a while, and got the lecture from her) that anything done to the house must be ok'd by the owner of the house, and they assume all bills for it, though once it is complete, it can be taken off their rent for that month. however, if not given the ok, then they are breaking contract, and can be considered as damaging the house. hope this helped...Show more
Branden Round: You are not liable for any bills that you did not consent to. If they had it done on their own choice then they are liab! le for it. Be very sure that you did not consent to the repairs that they had done and no judge will make you liable for them. I advise you to give them a notice to vacate according to your State laws. I'm surprised that you don't know those laws being a landlord. Go to the library and get the books on your rights and theirs as tenants....Show more
Misty Vagle: Why would you patch a wall and leave it without painting? Would you live with it like that? The sprinkler sounds ridiculous, why would you pay for that, if they wanted it there they can pay for it. It sounds as if you should tell it to the judge. You can't break a lease any more than they can, but you also do not have to pay for unauthorized work.
Jeff Frizzell: WHOA!!!! HOLD ON!!!WHY do you think you owe them AT ALL?You don't...period.A tenant CANNOT LEGALLY BIND YOU to a contract with a 3rd party.I would send them a certified letter, signed, return-receipt, with copies of the bills, back to them and st! ate the following."I have received the 'bills' that you have sent on UN! AUTHORIZED work that you have performed to my property.This is a formal notice that the work was without my permission or knowledge, I did not seek out a contractor to do this work, was not involved nor consuted in the process, and therefore, will not be submitting payment to you or the contractors.This is also a formal notice that NO OTHER unauthorized work is to be done to my property. You had the opportunity to view the property before renting, I did some of the repairs that you requested, but not all of them were necessary, such as replacing a sprinkler system that was in full working order.I will expect full payment of rent every money, per the signed lease agreement. The first month that I do not receive payment in full, I will file for an eviction for non-payment of rent.I will also be seeking damages in RETURNING the property to it's original condition.If these bills are not paid by you, that YOU incurred, an unpaid contractors place a lien against my property, th! en I will be seeking full legal action against you to remove the lien and to pay it off.If you want to stay on the property, you can continue to do so as long as no other unauthorized work is performed without my WRITTEN permission.I will not be communicating with you further on THIS issue, unless it's in writing."......THAT last sentence is important...that prevents the he said/she said's.DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE OR THEIR CONTRACTORS.You are NOT legally obligated to.PS The contractors can also not file a lien without a signed contract by you...the property owner. That is the legal requirement for a lien....Show more
