Las Vegas Landlord/Tenant: My tenants are breaking their lease early. They’ve been there just over a year and still have 10 months left on the lease agreement. In Early March they wanted us to reduce their rent by 25% claiming hardship. We politely said no because 1) It’s a fixed lease agreement and 2) they won’t provided any documentations to support their story.

We wrote them a lettter declining their request, reiterated their numerous lease violations such a unauthorized pets, unauthorized alterations to the premises, damages, and nuisances. We also requested the annual home inspection be done before my husband’s deployment.

Six days later, they responded in writing that they’re well able to pay the rent and will abide by the lease agreement. We had the home inspection done and gave them a copy of the report listing the damages that needed to be repaired and any lease violations. Five days later, they gave us a 30-day notice wanting us to reduce the rent by 50% claiming hardship.

We sent them a move-out letter because it’s rediculous what they’re asking.

They’re moving out early May. What is my next step and how do I go about suing them for the remainder of the rent on the lease and damages since they’re not likely to leave the place in good condition. It’s more likely that the amount will exceed the small claims court limit of $5000 since their rent is $2400/mo. Since they’re business owner, can I also sue them and their business.

I would greatly appreciate any directions and need a great attorney.

I signed a lease agreement with my husband when we were still married. He moved out, then, we divorced.THe house is only in his name. He has since sent cruel texts, and has sent texts to my 13 yr old daughter (not hisdaughter) and pics of his new girlfriend. He also asks her who I am seeing. He has also sent my mother a letter, and me as well. Can I break my lease due to this? My 3 children are terrified of him, and live in fear that he will return.

Landlord will not refund security deposit
I was renting a house in Nevada. The landlord/owner informed me that at the end of my lease she was going to sell the house and would not be renewing the lease. My lease had about 5 months to go to termination. I discussed moving out early with the landlord so she could sell the property sooner. We agreed that if I was able to find some place to move, I could move sooner than September, when the lease was up. Also I agreed to allow the house to be shown to perspective buyers while I was still living there and the landlord agreed to pay me $250 for showing the house. We also agreed that when I moved out, we would do a final walkthrough and that my security deposit plus $250 would be refunded at that time. I found a place and moved out leaving the property much cleaner than when I moved into it. However, the landlord has stated that since she hasn’t sold the house yet, she would not be refunding my deposits for 30 days. She also is demmanding the keys and garage door openers back. It is my contention that since we had a verbal binding contract outside of the normal lease agreement, that the landlord must refund my deposits now. The landlord is refusing. What are my rights?
