Most leases will have a provision on it that the landlord can make some changes on the lease with a notice of at least 30-days before the next rent is due. But these changes cannot be radical.
A landlord cannot make changes to the lease after it has been signed without you agreeing in writing to the changes. You are under no obligation to agree to any changes. Any changes made without your written permission are not valid.
A lease is both your responsibility and your security. All said and done it's a business contract your write with your landlord. You can't "change contracts" you can only break, release, or dissolve them and write new ones.
Unless there was in writing, on the lease you signed, that stated a condition that there would be a monthly rate increaseyour monthly payments can not change until the end of your contract. If you didn't sign a contract to allow for them to do so than your landlord is breaking the lease, and the law.
under no circumstances. it is better to write void on the previous
lease if it is not signed by the tenant.
ONCE signed by the tenant, there is a legal contract in place.
No.
It depends on what you mean by a lease: if a written lease is signed by both parties for a specific term, then the terms cannot be changed without mutual consent. Even if an oral lease any changes would have to be with your consent. If you do not consent to any change of the terms of the lease you can refuse to sign it and move out.
It depends on the terms of the lease that is in effect now. If you have a lease that does not allow for a sub-lease (or whatever you are trying to do), then yes, you will have to get the agreement of the landlord before sub-leasing.
In most states if you accept an apartment, move in it, and pay the rent, it is an agreement to the acceptance of the terms and conditions on the lease, whether signed or not. If the landlord gives you the keys and accepts the rent, it is an agreement on his part of the terms and conditions, whether signed or not.
Normally the landlord must give at least a 30-day notice before the expiration of the lease that he will not renew it, so the tenant must leave. There is one exception: if the tenant is in violation of the terms of the lease, the landlord may terminate the lease and give such short notice for the tenant to leave.
Signing the lease and paying the security deposit are two separate issues. Furthermore, if you don't pay the security deposit then you could be in violation of the lease terms and be evicted if the landlord chooses. Normally you pay the security deposit before you and your landlord sign the lease, or work out a payment plan that you and your landlord agree to. If your landlord agreed to allow you to skip the security deposit then that part of the lease is waived and the rest of the lease stands.
All leases are signed IN ACCORDANCE with the Landlord and Tenant Act in your state. Such leases may not contain clauses or terms that are unconscionable or violations of such Act.
Yes, assuming the tenant is given proper notice, which on a month to month lease is typically 30 days.
It can go either way, depending on what the landlord wants. If they want you to sign another lease, they can require you to do so if you wish to continue living there. In absence of another lease, you are considered to be on "month to month" under the same terms as the original lease.
If both of you agreed upon the same terms and conditions, and signed the lease accordingly, then it is just as binding as one that would be furnished by an attorney, etc.
Yes he can. A violation of the terms of a lease by a landlord is just as much grounds for termination by the tenant. The landlord can still evict you but less likely will win.
If you already signed the lease, you are subject to the terms of the lease and/or any penalty the leasing document states for early termination.
Generally speaking, no. A landlord can only terminate a lease if the tenant violates the terms of it.
