is he allowed to cut off all communication with me? Who should I turn to when I have questions regarding the apartment I rent?, Any additional fees for the month? What can I do?

for sure, make sure you get the letters you send verified with some kind of 'delivery confirmation' or other proof that you sent them. start from there. then, it sounds like you need to hire a lawyer, unfortunately. tell your landlord that you plan to do so if they do not get in touch with you. that might get their attention. do NOT stop paying rent! that will put you in the wrong and you want all the cards on your side when you go head to head with this person. other than that, get out of there as soon as you can.

Perhaps the landlord is out of town, or in the hospital. How long did you give him to call you back? Its the end of the summer for a lot of folks its vacation time.
Otherwise send registered letter to the landlord- if returned hold on to it. Dont open it. Get a money order for the rent or send a check -if returned hold on to them! Shows you attempted to pay. I would keep the money for the rent in the bank so you can pay at any given time-if taken to court then show the court that you attempted to pay and the letter you sent . And tell the court you have the money or better yet bring the money to court with you.

Send a letter registered mail then they will have to sign for it and you will have proof that you tried do not stop paying rent this will hurt you more than help.
Keep copies of all correspondence with the landlord in the event you end up in court.
Perhaps they did transfer you deposit to your new place it is not normal to do this but it could be that is how they did it.
As for requesting info on additional fee's it is there job to notify you of this not your job to ask.
Remember documentation is the key.

Depending on your reason for needing to communicate with him. I would send a certified letter documenting when and how you have attempted to reach him and that there was no response.
State why you need to speak with him. If it is about additional fees, I would put in the letter that I will not pay any additional fees until he can explain the reason for the fees.
You will now have proof that you have tried to communicate with him in the event any legal issues come up.

I would ask other tenants around me if any. Have they heard from the owner. Not paying rent could get you into legal trouble. Then mail a certified letter to the landlord. No response could mean the owner is in propery trouble themself.

Although convenient and speedy verbal communications should be avoided when dealing in matters relating to any contractual relationship. Start communicating in writing that should fix being ignored.
Go and locate your state's landlord tenant laws and when you send your letters tell him that you are wanting to do it right and in accordance to: and cite the law that usually puts a burr in the sattle.

Additional fees? huh? Maybe he cut you off because you make no sense.
And yes, he does not have to be at your beck and call.

Stop paying the rent. That will get his attention.

Send a certified letter, if it comes back, go to fair housing.

You can place your rent in escrow to be legally in the right.
