This is where a picture will save a thousand words. Take some where the rats are obviously in and about the house. Check with your state's tenant and landlord rights and find the procedures to follow to get out of the lease.

How often does your landlord legally have to rewire your house?
The landlord does not have to do any rewiring for you. The landlord has the obligation to make the place basically habitable. That's all. If the severe problems affect the usability of the house, like having no lights, getting shocks, or the heaters not working, you can force the landlord to deal with it. Much simpler, though, is to move. Having livability issues with the house may be grounds to break the lease in your state.
Can you break a current lease on a rental if you are purchasing a home?
Yes, however, you will lose your deposit on the apartment and be charged (normally hefty) fees for breaking the lease. Negotiate the prices with your landlord. If they refuse to listen, sublet the apt. If this option is not a good one, real estate lawyers can always make things happen!

Can a landlord break lease do to short sale?
Landlords give all sorts of crazy reasons for wanting to break leases. This is one of the strangest I have ever heard. A lease is a legal contract. It may contain a clause describing how the landlord can break it. The landlord may have sold the building for a whole lot of money. If he can get you out without having to pay you to break the lease then he gets to keep more money. His short sale does not involve you. He has a different motive. His short sale does not give him the right to break a lease. Your problem is your lease with him.

If a commercial landlord excepts your check do you have a lease?
It depends on the lease and the state. Some areas allow either party to break a lease within a certain timeframe without any ramifications. As long as a landlord returned all payments then I would move on, if this is the first example on how the landlord operates then I believe you should walk-away.
UI live in a house and your brother wants to evict you There is no lease Does that fall under landlord tenant or family court?
If its your brothers house and you never had a lease then it shouldn't be either since its not your house and he has no contact with you. All your brother has to do is call the police and have you removed from his property. You have no legal rights to be there since there was never a contract and the house is not under your name. This is assuming you are not a minor.
Can a landlord evict someone living on their property when they haven't signed a lease?
I am presuming we have three components here: a landlord, a tenant, and a subtenant. The landlord in this case is presumably renting to a tenant, while the tenant is presumably renting to a subtenant. I presume that tenant has a lease while the subtenant doesn't. The tenant becomes the landlord for the subtenant. Since there is no lease (in most states subletting does not involve a lease) in this case, the tenant who is the subtenant landlord can evict the subtenant. While the main landlord can evict the tenant -which automatically evicts the subtenant -only the tenant can evict the subtenant. But the main landlord can evict all by evicting the tenant.
Why does a lease gives both the tenant and the landlord security?
A security deposit is a refundable deposit that a tenant pays to their landlord before they move into a property As long as a tenant abides by the terms of their lease, this deposit should be returned to a tenant when their lease has expired. There are certain situations where a landlord is allowed to keep all or part of a tenant's security deposit.
How much can your landlord raise the rent all at once to a new tenant?
It depends on your lease. If you don't have a lease, the rent can be raised at any time by any amount. If you do have a lease, check the lease. If their are limits raising the rent in the lease, then you can bring that to your landlord's attention. If they raise your rate more than what's in the lease, then you can sue them in order to get them to comply with the lease. If there are no limits identified in the lease, then the rent can be raised at any time by any amount.
Can you break your term lease if the landlord changes the pet policy mid lease?
Each state has different laws about breaking leases so it all depends where you live. Most states will not allow you to break a lease just because the landlord changes the pet policy.
If you co-sign a lease are you responsible for all roommates' rent even if they have their own co-signers for their leases?
When you sign a lease with multiple tenants on the lease, you are all equally responsible for any aspect of your rent. Therefore if your roommate does not pay his portion of the rent, and you are responsible for the portion he doesn't pay. If this happens then you can be able to evict your roommate or have the landlord do so. Some landlords allow you to be the main tenant on the lease and in essence be the landlord for your roommates. This is called subletting. Most apartment complexes do not allow this. But for the landlords that do allow it, it allows you to control your situation better: your roommates can pay you and then you give one check to your landlord. If your roommate doesn't pay you, you can evict him. A lease is an agreement between all of you who are in the lease and your landlord. Therefore you are all equally responsible for what happens.
