Most leases have provisions that automatically terminates the lease in favor of the deceased tenant. However if the unit is damaged beyond normal wear and tear then the landlord may still keep the deposit.

You live in Washington and rent a condo the landlord told you before you can move out you have to find a new tenant can he by law require you to do this?
This is usually the standard requirement on a lease; absent a lease he cannot require this. But if you plan to move out before the lease expires then the landlord can require for you to find a replacement tenant, or you may be required to pay the rent for as long as the unit remains unoccupied, up to the time he finds a new tenant or the lease expires, whichever comes first.
How are security deposits refunded when one of the tenants remains at the apartment and the other is moving out?
usually the security is refunded at the end of the lease term. If one tenant moves out before the end of the lease, he'll have to wait until the end to get his security back. If the lease is up and one tenant moves out and the other one stays, the initial security payment should be refunded then and the tenant who stays should sign a new lease and put up a new security deposit.
When moving out of rental Do you still have to pay rent?
This depends on if you are moving out before the lease is up. Most leases have clauses which states that a tenant is responsible for the rent of an apartment for the remainder of the lease period or until the unit is rented to a new tenant, whichever comes first. If you move out of the dwelling where there is no lease, then you are not responsible for the rent.
What is the definition of a lease agreement form?

What is a modified net lease?
The modified net lease is a compromise among the gross lease and the triple net. The landlord and tenant usually set up a divide of maintenance expenses, while the tenant agrees to pay taxes and insurance.
Can a landlord no longer give lease to tenant after the first lease is up?
Most leases have a "continuance" clause in them stating that the lease becomes "month to month" lease after the original term is up. Most courts "assume" this is the case when a lease expires and the tenant remains on the premises. In most instances a "lease: is not required by law. Most leases are drawn up to protect the parties involvedand are of course a very good idea for all.
What is the correct word to use when you want to rerent an apartment that you are leaving before your lease is up?
To lease the remaining term of your lease agreement is known as a sublease. You would remain on the "hook" for the balance of the term with your existing lease while the sublease tenant would then be obligated to you. You may want to find a replacement tenant and see if the landlord would cancel your lease and then execute a lease directly with the tenant you identified. This would relieve you of any potential liability. Just remember that the landlord is not obligated to do so nor are they obligated to allow your sublease. Check with an attorney to clarify your rights under the existing lease agreement.
Can a landlord force a tenant to continue paying rent until another tenant moves in?
Yes, in most cases, if the tenant moved out while in lease, up to the time the lease would have expired or a tenant moved in. Not sure how you force anyone to do anything. But, your tenant is liable for the rent through his lease or until the unit is re-rented which ever comes first. However, the tenant can not be charged the rent until the rent is actually due, so the total you are owed will accrue each new month within his or her lease.

Can a landlord change lease with out informing you?
No, you have to be notified IN WRITING of any lease changes 30 days (in most states) before changes are to take effect. A good landlord would ask his tenant to at least initial any lease changes. He cannot however raise your rent until your lease is up. When its up he can charge you whatever he wants. If he is a private landlord and not a gov program etc.
How many days does a rental tenant have before eviction from apartment in Florida?
In Florida, a landlord typically must provide a tenant with a written notice of lease termination, giving them 3 days to either pay rent or address other lease violations. If the tenant fails to comply, the landlord can initiate legal proceedings to evict the tenant. However, the exact timeline can vary depending on the circumstances and the terms of the lease agreement.
When a life tenant dies with a will and property is willed the children is that property part of the estate?
A life estate expires when the life tenant dies. A life tenant doesn't own the property, it doesn't become part of their estate and therefore they cannot leave it to their heirs in their will. When a life estate is set up in a deed or will there is also a 'remainderman' who will own the property when the life tenant dies.
Is a previous tenant allowed to sell property they left in the apt after their lease ends to the new tenant?
That's up to the new tenant. You should have an agreement in writing so the landlord will not be able to charge you for the removal of the property if your deal with the new tenant falls through.
