Rental Lease Agreement
I never signed the lease agreement, only initialed the papers to say I viewed it. I was given keys to the apartment to move-in. The property manager signed the lease agreement 10 days later, still with me never signing it.
Can the leasing company hold me responsible if I give my 30 days notice to move out?
I would like to have an attorney review the Florida Residential Lease Agreement I gave my tenant. He is always late in paying his rent. He is refusing to pay a late fee for April. I would like to know the exact date I can charge the late fee. He also refuses to honor the contract and told me that he will use the security deposit to cover the last month of his lease (August 2010) which the contract explicitly states is not allowed. I can send you a copy of the lease agreement. Please help.
Landlord-Tenant Lease dispute
My 5 year lease expired on 12/31/08. It contained a Hold Over clause stipluating the Landlord’s acquiescence and no new written agreements, which there were none. The clause maintains the provisions of the expired lease on a year to year basis, to which I claim should take effect.
The Landlord gave notice to one tenant (with a similar lease) in July, 2008 that there would be a new lease and increase in rent but never gave a notice to me. Months went by without any mention of a new lease or increase in rent. Finally in December, the Landlord stopped by with a letter mentioning an increase in rent plus an annual 3% increase for the next 3 years, but no new lease accompanied the letter. I objected on the grounds that I was not given a timely notice and on December 29th, the Landlord delivered a new lease agreement demanding it be signed by 12/31/08 or to vacate and have the unit ready for inspection by 1/1/09.
My position is that absent the same notice given another tenant and in consideration of the Hold Over clause, I should be able to expect a timely notice of an impending change in the lease but none was given. Am I obligated to vacate or can I hold the Landlord to the Hold Over clause?
Sueing family member for defaulting on lease agreement
I recently purchased a new home in Winchester, California for a brother of mine. The house is under my name, but we both signed a lease agreement that he would stay in the home and rent from me for at least 3-5 years. Within 3 weeks after moving into the house, he defaulted on the lease agreement and decided he wanted to move out. Do I have any legal rights against him?
Thank you,
commercial sublease
Novemeber 2007, i entered into basically a commercial sub-lease agreement along with a agreement to pay for equipment in a salon. the agreement was wrote up saying that i am responsible for the utilities and the taxes on the salon, but does not specify previous taxes. i am responsible for the date of occupancy. the leassor has decided to not pay her previous taxes and try to force me with paying them. now saying if i dont pay i have to leave the salon, losing all the money i have put into it and revenue the salon is bringing me. what kind of recourse do i have? i have paid the lease and her on time with copies of checks as the contract we have as proof. also the landlords are agreeing with me on whose responsiblity it is. her actual lease is over july, then the my lease starts. i am scared that this will get ugly.
