where can i find general apartment rules??

Question

i have been in my apartment for 3 years now.. and my landlrod has not renewed my lease after year 1... i need to know if there is a site i can go to to find out what specifications there are with moving out if no lease... like after so many years do i have to pay for damage to carpet?? is there a wear and tear rule after so many years? and there is no way the lanlord can with hold security deposit if i dont have a updated lease. but after so many years what do i have to pay for if any damages??

there is not a tenant asscociation....
i have a hole in carpet in one room... but my bathroom is falling in and the people's upstairs bathtub leaks thru my ceiling when they overflow it......which is causing the plastic tiles to turn yellow.. lanlord knows all of this except the hole in carpet wich is my fault... but isnt there a rule that says that after a certain amount of years a the landlord has to replace the carpet for a new tenant anyway?

i am in Illinois

Answer 1

Ok blondness what you need is the Landlord tenant act and subsequent sites relating to your question here is the research link you need click on your state's name and once you get to your state's' website click on their search bar after typing in "landlord tenant laws"
All US States Constitutions and Web sites: http://www.constitution.org/cons/usstcons.htm
I'd give you all the information you need but I don't know what state you are in.

Answer 2

There are different landlords just as there are different apartments. Depending on where your apartment is located, there is more than likely an apartment association or tenant association. Usually you can find them on the internet or if your city has a website, it may post the contact information for such agencies.

Each state, even counties, will differ on how they interpret reasonable charges and what should be considered normal wear and tear and what is flat out damage or resident negligence.

Hope that helps.

That is the landlord's responsibility.
