Q. I have been renting property and on several occasions my landlord has gone into my locked mailbox to place notices for me. I am aware that she is the property owner but she no longer receives mail there and because I am now renting the property I dont believe she has the right to use her key to go into my mailbox? I feel like it is an invasion of my property/privacy and could border on the lines of mail tampering. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A. Totally illegal. Anything in a mailbox MUST have postage. Call the USPS in your area. She shouldn't even have a key.
What Kind Of Lawyer can I ask advise of for renting property?
Q. I would like to rent property and want to talk to a lawyer first, but don't know what type of lawyers specialize in renting property.
Thank You

A. Are you wanting to rent a property as your primary residence? You would need a real estate attorney, that specialize in rental properties.
Are you wanting to purchase property then renting them to someone else?
If you are wanting to purchase a property and rent it to others, an attorney might not be the person you are seeking. You might want to find the local Apartment House Association. joining this association would give you on going trends of the local real estate market. They also have forms that might be of use to you such as rental agreements, eviction notices, a way to obtain credit checks and other things you would need to be a successful landlord. In some cases they might provide vanilla legal advice.
An attorney would not be able to assist you with those items. He would consult with you, send you to what ever agency that would do the job. You would now have to pay the attorney as well as for the agency that would actually be doing or providing the services.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

If a tenant has illegal substances on a rented property, is the landlord legally responsible for said substanc?
Q. If a person renting a home has any type of illegal substance on the property, and that substance is discovered by the authorities, who is held liable? Would it be the tenant since it's their substance, or the landlord since it is on their property? Would the answer to this question vary based on whether the rented property is a single family home, or an apartment?
A. Gosh, that's a little difficult to answer, but in most cases it's usually the person in possesion who is punished. However, it is possible for it to be the landowners fault for letting the substances get through in the first place. But they could also both be charged with possesion.
Is it legal to change the name on the contract of a rented property?
Q. I am currently living in Melbourne, Australia and have a 6 month lease on my student apartment. I heard from some friends that they have changed the name on their contracts to someone else's name for various reasons, such as moving away, or finding a better place elsewhere. My question is, is this legal for all rented properties, or is it up to the management to allow that?
A. It is legal only if both parties agree to it. It legally can't just unilaterally be done by the renters. BUT it often is, and as long as the rent gets paid, most landlords don't object.
