Reletting Fee VS. Remainder of Lease Agreement
I just moved out of a rental house in Texas. I did have to break my lease agreement. I received a letter from the real estate agent handleing the releasing of the house. It states that for reletting the contracted lease agreement for the address, my $1000.00 security deposit and my $450.00 pet deposit will not be refunded, due to breech of contract. Now, the landlord is also wanting me to continue paying rent until the house is released. I was under the impression that in the state of Texas a landlord my charge either a reletting fee or the remainder of rent, but not both. Can he charge me both a reletting fee and still continue to charge me rent until the house is released?

Security Deposit
Hi, I am a landlord of a townhouse, and my tenant informed me that he needs to move out on May 16, 2006. His lease agreement is not up until August 1, 2006. Needless to say I do have a mortgage on this house and this will leave me in a financial bind, especially if I cannot find someone else to rent it. By law, do I have to return his security deposit to him since he is breaking his lease agreement? Thanks.
I am a landlord that shares my home with a renter.
I am a landlord that shares my home with a renter. We both signed a lease agreement. She never ended up paying me the security deposit. She paid rent past the first 5 days of October after constant notices. I never collected a late payment. For November, again she paid rent late past the 5 first days of the month. However, she did not pay me the full amount and still owes me $200. I gave her an eviction notice and she seems quite aggravated. I’m fearful that she will damage my property and I highly doubt she will pay me the remaining rent for the month of Novemember. What other options do I have as the landlord to have her removed from my house ASAP? The eviction notice gave her 30-days, however, since she broke the lease, can I demand that she move out sooner?
Illegal Sublease Agreement?
Illegal Sublease Agreement?
I signed an agreement where I promised to pay rent for one month for an apartment as a sublessor. The main part of the agreement is as follows:
•Sublessee shall pay directly to Sublessor(s) $508.75 per month at the place and time provided in the original Lease and ANY UTILITY BILLS during the time of occupation.
•Sublessee agrees to abide by all the obligations and responsibilities in the original Lease, a copy of which is attached and made part of this agreement.
No copy of the original elase was provided, but I have read it now and discovered that it contains a clause expressly forbidding subleasing with no exceptions. Am I legally bound to pay the monthly fee to my sublessor, or am I released since the elase itself forbids subletting?

Apartment lease agreement
My lease was up a year and a half ago. It then stated that I was month to month. 6 months ago my rent went up and I signed a form agreeing to the increase. I am now trying to move out and my landlord told me that was the same as signing a new lease.
