Can you handle the truth?


Does a landlord need to say if someone’s died on the property? —Tatiana, Brickell From an ethical standpoint, a landlord should disclose if someone has died on the property; however, legally, there is no obligation.


If I change the locks, do I really need to give my landlord a set of keys?—Claudia, The Roads Yes, a landlord must always have access to your apartment.


I left my dishwasher running while I was out, and now my carpet is soaked. Am I responsible for cleanup if a broken dishwasher is to blame?—Fernando, Kendall The terms of your lease will govern this conundrum, but plumbing and appliance problems are usually the responsibility of the landlord. Still, if you are negligent with the appliances, the liability is on you.


I lied about my dog’s weight on the lease (only dogs under 20 pounds are allowed inside the apartment), and now my landlord is suspicious. Can he ask to see my dog’s paperwork or keep me from having a dog based on doubt?—Chris, Coconut Grove Based on doubt, he cannot. But based on proof, he can.
