Can a landlord refuse rent for property repair charges not being paid?

June 5th, 2011 by admin

Let’s try this again – if you aren’t going to bother reading this section please don’t bother answering telling me how I am going to be evicted – blah blah blah.

I am not worried about being evicted this is my last month.

But a bill came from my landlord for a fire alarm repair – 4 mos ago and is no basically saying if we don’t pay it with the rent that they will take the charge out of my rent and deny my rent then because the full rent won’t be paid.

I don’t care about paying the charge as it was technically my own fault. However I just want to pay the rent then pay the bill next week. Or even better yet, why can’t they simply take it out of my security deposit.

Can someone please just answer me or direct me where to look? Thank you.
kate – you are a complete idiot.
