Home inspection? By who? No formal inspection has to be done. Generally the renter inspects themselves and decides to apply or not to apply.
I have never had an offical home inspection other then my yearly for my section 8 renters (I have 2 of them). |

Only if the lease REQUIRES an inspection before you move in. I would be SHOCKED if it did. |

no, you'd be breaching your contract, and thats illegal. a home inspection is what you should have thought of before signing the lease. |

Unless your lease specifically says that lack of a home inspection is grounds for terminating the lease early, you're not going to be able to use that. |

Nope. That's your own fault. |

I have been doing home inspections for 5 years and not once have I ever, done a home inspection for a renter. Home Inspections are pre purchase inspection, to protect the buyer from problems that he would not know about. Why would a renter hire a home inspector???? all the building repairs would fall on to the landloard/owner, not the renter. Also the buyer always pays and orders the home inspection, so if you wanted to get a home inspection then thats your fault, and beside that it sounds like you are just looking for a way out of your lease and I don't think you would spend $300-$400 for an inspection anyway, just to rent. |

No -- and you can be held accountable for any and all damages since you didn't specify that any existed at the time of more-in. Good luck! |

Does the lease say that there was a home inspection or that one was needed? How do you know there was no home inspection? |

No. It's your responsibility to understand and know what you are renting. If that takes an inspection, that would be your responsibility. If you failed to obtain one, you rented 'as is'. |

It is unlikely that you can break your rental agreement just because there was no home inspection.
However, if the real problem is there is something seriously wrong with the home (something that makes the home unsafe or uninhabitable) you may have grounds to break your lease. |

Best way to deal with this talk to your property manager ask her to change the appartment, you can always give some medical excuse if she don't agree. |

Some localities have "rental inspections" done by your Codes Compliance division/Property maintenance inspectors. Your locality would have to adopt such a code and you would find it in your city code. Check into it.
If you complain they could be issued a notice of violation but that does nothing for your situation. You are still bound by your lease.
If there is damage to the rental property you should put in writing any repairs that are needed and send it certified with proof of mailing. Give a reasonable amount of time for them to make the repairs (usually 21 - 30 days). If the work is not done you can take your lease, the letter and proof of mailing to general district court and open an escrow account and set a court date. You pay your rent to the court until you go before the judge. The judge can then dispurse the money the way he/she sees fit...towards repairs or back to you. You may be released from your lease obligation.
Please google search your state Landlord Tenant act and read carefully...or see an attorney. |
