Should a Landlord have any type of written agreement with his tenant's subleaser?

∙ 14y ago
If the landlord has such an agreement between a tenant and his subleaser, then the subleaser is no longer a subleasor, and becomes a co-tenant, who would have the same rights as the original tenant. Most landlords don't like subleasers because they are not bound by the same terms as the tenant. By the same token the subleaser is in a bad position because he doesn't have the same rights as a tenant, and can be kicked out at any time.

Without a written lease is it a month to month lease?
No, without a written lease, the landlord can only evict the same as a month to month lease agreement (30 days) but the protections to the tenant and landlord are not stated.
Do rental agreements need to be notarized?
No. The landlord / manager should only rent to someone that has seen the apartment in person. The landlord / manager needs to see proof of your ID and SSN which eliminates the need for a notary. Although, in some States you may need a Witness.
Who is responsible for landlord's dead tree damaging tenants vehicle?
You would need evidence of an open and obvious condition (photos of the dead tree on the car would work) or evidence of written or verbal notice to the landlord about the hazard (dead tree). Without that evidence your chances of prevailing are zero. If its a small loss - put it into small claims - insurer may pay at that point
If your landlord sells your house can the new landlord raise your rent?
The new owner must abide by whatever agreement is in force. If there is a lease he cannot change any of the terms except by mutual agreement. If you are month-to-month he can only do this after giving you a proper written notice and anywhere from 30-90 days warning in advance, this allows you to either pay the new rental agreement, or look for another place to live. If this was not done, i'd recommend talking to a lawyer.
Tenant never switched gas into their own name. The landlord paid the bill for 7 months and then stopped. What are the tenant's rights?
If the lease agreement states that the tenant should switch the account to their name and pay the gas bill then the tenant should pay the landlord back. If there was no written agreement, or understanding, that the tenant pay the gas bill then you could try filing a complaint with the town, housing court, landlord-tenant agency, etc., if the landlord simply stopped providing heat and hot water. If the understanding was that the tenant pay their gas, they never switched the account to their name and the landlord didn't notice for seven months, then the tenant should start paying the gas bill and hope the landlord doesn't sue them for all the prior gas charges.
Can a landlord pass on property taxes to the residential tenants?

Is it a legal requirement for a landlord and tenant to have a contract?
I know of no state that requires a written agreement. If a tenant pays money, and a landlord lets them in, that's an agreement.
What is a tenant estoppel agreement?
A tenant estoppel agreement is between the seller of the property and purchaser, which may have specific terms, such as the terms of the lease for that tenant - for example, the condition of purchasing the property is that the new landlord will honor the terms of the lease originally written by the old landlord - a list of tenants in each unit of the property, and how much rent each tenant is paying.
Can your landlord evict you if you have a written agreement?
This depends on whether you violate the written agreement. The purpose of a written agreement is to spell the terms and conditions under which you may live on the property you are renting.
Can you break your lease if there is multiple shootings at your residence and possible involvement with other tenants?
It is the landlord's responsibility to ensure tenants' safety, as well as "reasonable enjoyment" of their rental unit. Therefore, if you feel you are in danger from other tenants, and your landlord will not remove those tenants, you have the right to move out. HOWEVER, be sure you give your landlord WRITTEN notice stating your reasons for moving, and backing those reasons up with documentation! In fact, I would suggest you contact a lawyer specializing in landlord/tenant issues for further advice.
What to do when apartment management breaks verbal agreement?
If you are a tenant, your agreement with the landlord should be through a written lease. Any verbal agreement or modification of the lease is non-binding. Check the terms of your written lease. If the landlord is violating this, you can insist that it be remedied or that you be permitted to move out.
