Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Connecticut
rent payment and security deposit
I have recently had my husband
arrested and he is no longer in the
house. Problem, his pay check paid
the rent,which is now higher. Can I
have the landlord take out 1 months
rent from the security deposit and
not get evicted? This is an
emergency situation. I just want to
know what I can do. FYI I don't have
ANY money right at this time and my
family can't help.

Re: rent payment and security deposit
You can certainly ask the landlord to do that and explain your situation, however, he is not legally obligated to take your security deposit in lieu of rent. I'm sure he will also want to know how you will pay next month's rent and your rent going forward because it does not sound like you can afford your apt. w/o your hsuband's paycheck.
