I think it goes by one year terms. Every place I have rented has been a one year term. It could be different for businesses, the terms could be shorter, like 6 months instead. I think a term over a year or shorter than 3 months would be bad.

If the lease restricts who can live in the apartment, as long as your son is listed as an occupant on the lease, he or she can continue to live in the apartment (unless the lease specifically states otherwise). If the lease does not have a restriction on occupants, your son can continue living in the apartment as well.

Lease Agreement Form?

If you are looking to rent an apartment, or lease a car, you are going to need to fill out a lease agreement form. This form will lay out all of your obligations and what the obligations of the lessee will be. This is a legal document that cannot be broken once signed. There are many consequences that could occur if the lease agreement is not followed through on.Make The Clear The Terms Of The LeaseThe most important information that you can place on a lease agreement is the length and terms. Essentially, you need to specify how long the lease is for and how much needs to be paid. If you are going to rent an apartment, the lease needs to say how long the lease is for, or your car lease should specify how many miles a year you are allocated. Other issues like condition of the property and other terms need to be included. It is important that neither side break the lease unless there is an out clause.Specify Damages Owed For Breaking The LeaseIf a landlord decides to kick out tenants through no fault of their own, the lease should cover what happens. If tenants decide to leave early, there should be a clause specifying what they owe the landlord. When leasing a piece of equipment, there should be something in writing stating the condition it needs to be returned in, and when it needs to be returned. Financial penalties should be spelled out clearly for both sides to understand.Know The LawAll leases should adhere to state and federal laws. Make sure that your lease would stand up if challenged in court. There may be laws that restrict how much can be charged for damages, or the handling of any security deposits that may be included in the lease. If there are any illegal items in your contract, it will be null and void and neither party would be held to it if challenged legally.When writing a lease, make the terms and conditions very clear. Also make sure that there is contact information for all parties included somewhere. A lease could be voided if a party to that lease was unable to be contacted should there be any questions about the document.

What does as is mean on a lease agreement and does this release the landlord from fixing building code violations?

it means that you will take the rental property the way it is, this is NEVER a good idea, because should you need some repairs whether major or minor, you will not have a leg to stand on, also of your area has no property standards or laws pertaining to this, you could wind up living in a dump for as long as the lease says eg: a one or two year lease, so no do not sign off on this agreement.


When ownership changes on a home while occupied by a tenant with a lease and the tenant was given a 30-day notice but won't move what recourse does the new owner have?

If they signed a lease, they have a binding legal document saying that as long as rent is paid they get to live there until the agreement expires... Unless somewhere in the lease agreement that the resident signed there is a clause about terminating residency without cause. When 'you' bought the property, you also bought all loans, expenses, and lease agreements. In short, the new owner may own the property, but the tenant possesses the property until the lease is terminated by mutual agreement or according to its terms.


What is suborination and non disturbance agreement?

The correct term is "subordination". This is an agreement signed by a tenant and landlord of commercial property which is a recognition on the part of the tenant that the lease is subordinate to any mortgage which the landlord has or may in the future place on the property. Lenders sometimes want this so that the tenant recognizes that the lease does not have priority over a mortgage granted by the lender. The non disturbance agreement generally signed by the lender and/or landlord which indicates that so long as the tenant is not in default of the lease, the possession of the tenant will not be "disturbed" or in other words, the tenant will be allowed to remain in the premises even if the landlord should be in default of the mortgage.
