    Default Re: Eviction for Late Deposit

    Is it legal to give you a notice to quit if you haven't paid the amounts due under your rental agreement? You actually feel that you have to ask this question? Even if we quibble over "deposit" versus "rent", you cannot force your landlord to accept payment in the order you dictate. Let's say you owe $500 for a deposit. You cannot dictate that your landlord apply your check toward "rent" so that you can avoid paying that money - he can apply it to the balance due and, if there's any money left over at that point, credit only the remaining amount paid to your ongoing obligations.

    I cannot read your lease agreement from here, so I cannot comment on rent rates or rent increases.
