If you paid your rent late two years ago and the landlord filed a judgment against you how can you have it removed from your credit report if you're still in the apartment and the rent is current?

Once the judgment has been entered into the public records portion of a credit report it will remain for the required amount of time generally 7 years. If the judgment is renewed it can remain indefinitely. Negative information placed on a CR cannot be expunged until the required time limit has expired.

Does a tenant have to pay rent in his current apartment while searching for a new apartment?
Of course! You are living in the apartment and therefore are obligated to pay to live there. Why would one think that the landlord would pay your rent?
I have an existing lease now owner says everyone in complex has to buy renters insurance have to buy renters insurance?
If it's not in your current lease agreement then there is no way he can force you to buy it. But when your lease comes up for renewal he can insist you get it or just not renew your lease if you refuse. Most complexes now require that tenants purchase renters insurance. It protects both the tenant and their property as well as the landlord against damages to his property by a tenant. This has become common practice these days with leases both personal and commercial. Most likely someone in your complex has tried to bring a claim against the apartments for some personal property loss, or, They trashed the apartment they rented leaving a big repair bill for your landlord, so your landlord is just avoiding future problems and expenses by conforming to current industry practices and requiring that everyone get insured.

I believe so, but under certain cercumstances,.. have you been upright in your current bills?
In California what can a previous or current landlord disclose with a potential landlord when contacted as a reference?
I am no lawyer but... I expect the answer is: anything that is relevant to your application to rent at the new place. So, for example, they can ask if you were noisy or did drugs, etc. They should not ask your religion or national origin, etc.
Can you break a current lease on a rental if you are purchasing a home?
Yes, however, you will lose your deposit on the apartment and be charged (normally hefty) fees for breaking the lease. Negotiate the prices with your landlord. If they refuse to listen, sublet the apt. If this option is not a good one, real estate lawyers can always make things happen!

If you own a property and want to rent it out to short term renters where do you start?

Can my landlord lock me out of my apartment if I don't pay the altered amount of my lease?
If you have a legitimately signed and current lease with the landlord, and you weren't behind in your rent or had some other violation which broke the lease, and, assuming you haven't omitted any critical information (especially from that of the landlord's point-of-view), then, technically speaking, no, the landlord cannot change the locks or prevent you from entering the apartment. However, most landlords would not bother to change the locks or otherwise prevent the tenant from entering without a good reason. You need to discuss it with him/her or contact a lawyer.
Will an eviction be voided after the landlord accepts money once the eviction is finalized?
Not necessarily: this depends on how much money you have paid the landlord. If you paid all of the money you owed the landlord before hand and then your current rent, then the eviction is canceled. Please note that an eviction is complete when you are forced to move out of the apartment, not when the judge issues a writ of ejectment. This is because the landlord must take every step during the eviction process in order to proceed with it.
Yes, the landlord ca?
Yes, the landlord can in most cases show your apartment to prospective tenants towards the end of a lease so as to find new tenants for the next term. In some cases, where the lease expressly stipulates this, the landlord is limited in this respect and may only be allowed to show the apartment during the last 30 days, or only during certain hours that are convenient for the current tenant, and only upon coordination with the current tenant. It all depends on the language of the lease. But if the lease is silent on the matter, it would be typical - and reasonable - for the landlord to have the ability to start showing the apt. to others towards the end of the lease (say, last 60 days). Obviously, if you sign the extension for a second year, the point becomes moot and landlord will no longer need to show the apartment. You can not simply go to a month-to-month arrangement unless the landlord agrees in writing (or via his/her behavior, i.e., simply not objecting to your staying on and collecting your rent on a month-to-month basis).
