No.
Was the lease supposed to be a month-to-month lease or for a year or longer?
Oddly enough, it depends on the term of the lease. If it's a month-to-month tenancy then yes, he can. If not, the lease is effective at time of signing and may not be changed without mutual consent.
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 the lease has expired and the co-signer has NOT signed the month-to-month agreement, the co-signer should be off the hook.
I feel uncomfortable with a month to month lease. I originally signed a six month lease and my Landlord refuses to resign a lease. Is there any action I could take, here in WI.?
no you might not be able to break the lease because i tried to do that once when i had problems with my apartment and if you do you have to pay the rent for the months you made the lease for its expensive trust me i had to pay a 4 month lease witch was $3200.00 !!!!!!!!! so im sorry to say this but if u want to pay $3200.00 go ahead i would recommend u to just stay there for as long as u did ur lease for? sorry about that
the lease will have to be honoured, if the tenants do not get along, then it could be broken by paying a penalty for the remainder of the lease when one or both move, if the lease is a month- to- month then a 2 month written letter must be signed by both parties to notify the landlord.
If you have not signed a lease then yes, you are not tied down. But you may lose your deposit and/or your hold. But you should be refunded your first month's rent. If you have signed the lease than its a diffrent story. You can not back out of a lease unless the appartment ownership lets you. It is noramally a large fee (around $3500 in some instances). Take care
I m pretty sure that the end date constitutes termination.
No, without a written lease, the landlord can only evict the same as a month to month lease agreement (30 days) but the protections to the tenant and landlord are not stated.
If you break the lease, your landlord can charge you the amount of rent for the apartment or unit during the time it is left unoccupied up until the dwelling has been rented out or until your lease expires, whichever comes first.
Technically, if you are in a lease then you cannot break it or the landlord can keep your security deposit and last month's rent. He can even sue you for loss of revenue up to the time the apartment is rent it out or the lease has expired, whichever comes first. That is the technical rule. But now here's the compassion issue: if your wife has passed away and there is compelling reason to break the lease, I am sure you can work something out with your landlord in which he can cancel the lease for you. But the landlord is usually not obliged to do this.
