Landlord Tenant
Can I be evicted for complaining about noise from my neighbors?
I lease an apartment in South Carolina. I received an eviction notice to vacate within 30 days. The reason given on the eviction notice is I have complained about noise from the tenants living below me. That is the only reason listed. I called the main office in charge of the Apartment Complex and was told that the reason I was being evicted was because of the number of times I called and complained. Is this a valid reason to evict someone. In my opinion I am the victim here because of the noise from late night partying from the college students living below me.
Can I change my lease term to one month without formal approval?
I have been a tenant of this building for 3 years and always signed a 1 year lease. My lease is up this month. I know I will be moving out of the country in 2 months and asked my mgmt company what to do? They told me to cross out term 12 months and write in 1 month, sign the lease and send it back. That does not seem right. Shouldn't I have something that says they approve a one month extention or something?
Can a landlord issue a notice to change alterations and then an eviction notice?
Can a landlord give you a notice stating you have 30 days to change alterations (that the tenant has made) or they will be forced to fill for eviction-then turn around and 4 days later send you an eviction notice saying you have 30 to vacate the premise?

Is my employer required to compensate me for breaking my lease if I relocate?
I was required to sign a relocation agreement as a condition of employment. What about my current rental lease? Is my employer required to compensate me for having to break my lease in the event that I'm forced to relocate out of California? What if the relocation is beyond a reasonable commuting distance?
