Probably not. Any agreement made in writing can only be altered in writing.
No it doesn't.
If you are a tenant, your agreement with the landlord should be through a written lease. Any verbal agreement or modification of the lease is non-binding. Check the terms of your written lease. If the landlord is violating this, you can insist that it be remedied or that you be permitted to move out.
No, all lease agreements to be binding must be in writing.
only if that is agreeable with landlord. A lease agreement without a lease is a verbal lease. Your last month's rent is not a security deposit.
No.
This can happen, and is perfectly legal, in part because a verbal agreement is nonbinding. However, you then have the right not to sign the lease and to cancel the entire matter if you find that the rent is not reasonable.
I am not a legal eagle but the answer appears to be no. It appears that verbal agreements, if proven, can be upheld in law. However, the claim of FORGETTING to give a tenant a lease appears a weak one.
A lease involves real property. All agreements dealing with real property must be in writing.
A lease in itself, is an agreement to lease. All the same.
No, you cannot change apartments after signing a lease without breaking the lease agreement, which may result in financial penalties or legal consequences.
If they told you full service included the filter change and you agreed to full service then you agreed to a filter change and you had a meeting of the minds and a verbal agreement. If they did not change the filter they have broken the agreement.
No, a lease agreement does not have to be notarized.
