What does tenant?

Is it against the law not to give you tenant a copy of her lease?

In many states, yes; in many, no. But if a landlord doesn't give a tenant a copy of his lease then he cannot expect the tenant to follow all the terms of it. If the tenant does fail to follow the terms and the landlord takes him to court, the tenant can argue that he wasn't provided a copy of the lease.


How much notice does a landlord have to give a tenant when selling the property?

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.


Can you return a security deposit and not accept the tenant even if you have accepted some rent?

Once you, the landlord, have accepted a tenant by handing him the keys, then the tenant has legal possession of the property. If the lease was mutually signed and the keys were handed to the tenant, then you must wait until the lease expires and give at least 30 days notice that you will not renew the lease before asking the tenant to leave. Landlord and tenant laws are designed to protect both the landlord and the tenant. If the tenant does not violate the terms of the lease once it has been mutually signed and the property turned over to the tenant, then he has the legal right - as long as he pays his rent on time - to remain on the property. If he violates the terms of the lease at any time, you can seek legal remedy to correct the violations or to remove the tenant.
