If the landlord breaks the lease can you sue for back rent?

Yes the landlord can be sued for breaking the lease.


Can you be sued for back rent when there was never a lease and you were never evicted?

You can be sued for back rent even if there were no lease. Many tenants rent homes on oral leases, called month-to-month leases. As long as the landlors and the tenant come to an agreement that the landlord will let the tenant have the apartment for a certain amount of rent each month, it becomes a binding lease agreement even though there is no written lease. Even if a landlord let a tenant in without fully discussing rent and coming to a figure, you still could be sued for the reasonable value of the rental. This is called quantum meruit. The idea is that you certainly did not expect that you were going to live there for free; it's just that you didn't expect the rent to be as high as you were later told. That is why you can be sued bor rent but only an amount that is reasonable considering the size of the apartment and what similar rentals in the area are getting as opposed to what the landlord wants.
