Absolutely.....your obligation is to pay the rent...what he does or doesn't do....or when he does it, is absolutely of no concern to you. And your failure to pay rent does not change anything with his not paying the tax collector. That could be the reason he is having trouble! Paying rent is your obligation. Most landlords ding your credit (I would) after being five days late. I start eviction on day ten. If you are late twice, no chance of staying.

Do you still have to pay your landlord if house is for sale?

If your landlord is selling the house you have to continue paying the rent for it, whether to the old landlord or to the new one. Your old landlord will give you notice about when they have sold the property, and the new landlord will give you instructions on how to pay them the rent.


Can landlord sell house that is being rented?

No. A lease is a legally binding contract that runs with a property, regardless of who owns the property. Unless there was a provision in the lease that specifically gave the landlord the right to break the lease upon sale of the property, you can compel the landlord and the new owner of the property to honor your lease. If you find that either the previous or new owner of the property is refusing to honor your lease, contact a landlord-tenant law attorney. A listing is available in your local phone book.

Does a landlord or owner have to have a property insurance?

If the property in question is not paid off and there is still a mortgage to be paid, the mortgage company requires that the purchaser have full insurance coverage on the property. They do not want to lose their investment to a careless fire! If the property is paid for and there is a different person living in the house and paying rent, usually the property owner requires the renter to carry full coverage insurance on the house. I hope this is helpful and answers your question.

I live in my mothers house what happens to the house if she dies?

Simply stated, you are living in his mother's house at her discretion. You have no rights in her property other than those provided under local landlord/tenant laws. If the property was owned by his mother and your husband inherited the property on her death, then you would inherit it.


What can you do when landlord house is repossed what can happen to us tenants?

The repossession of a house, called a foreclosure, is a matter between the property owner (the Landlord) and his Mortgage Lender. The tenant is not involved. As long as the Landlord still has control of the property he is still the one to make the rent payments to, and can still evict you if you don't. When the Bank takes over they will give you proper instructions, according to state laws, on whether to and when to leave, or how to pay your rent.

Is it a crime when you kick someone out of your house who is not on the lease and throw their belongings out into the street?

Yes, this is considered an illegal eviction and you could be arrested for it. You could also be arrested for malicious damage of property for throwing the items onto the street. In many states if a person has been living in the house/unit, but not on the official lease for the Landlord, then in essence YOU are the landlord and the individual is your "tenant," even if there's no money exchange for his living there. This is why your landlord probably has a clause in the lease which forbids letting anyone stay with you for an extended period of time (this is called subletting or subleasing). To remove the person, therefore, you, the sub-landlord, will need to file eviction proceedings just like your landlord would do to you. In any case you cannot kick a person out without going through the same eviction proceedings your landlord would initiate against you for whatever reason.
