Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Process take?

It usually lasts between 4 to 5 weeks.  However, it depends on several factors.

When Can a Tenant Withhold Rent?

83.60(1)(b) permits them to withhold rent if the Landlord has failed to comply with 83.51(1)(a) and 83.51(1)(b).   83.51(1)(a) states in part that a Landlord must comply with the requirements of all applicable building, housing, and health codes. If there are no applicable codes,  a Landlord is required maintain the roofs, windows, doors, floors, steps, porches, exterior walls, foundations, and all other structural components in good repairs.  If violations are present, they can give a 7 day notice as required by 83.60(1)(b) that they will be withholding rent.   More than 7 days before the next rental period, notice must be given.

How does a Landlord terminate a Month-to-Month Lease?

If a Tenant’s lease is month-to-month, they must give 15 days notice to terminate it.  Accordingly, this is required by 83.57(3).  However, they must give 15 days prior to the beginning of the next rental period.   In other words, if they pay on the 1st  and the next month is August, they must give notice before July 15.
