Me and my boyfriend rented a room now my boyfriend move out but he is the one on the lease now the landlord wants me to pay500 and take me to court can she do that?

Although the Lease was on your boyfriends name,and you were both living together at the time the lease was prepared,you do not have any legal rights to remain in the room..perhaps the reason why your landlord 's demanding the 500,is to re-write a new lease on your name.Also,was a deposit paid by your boyfriend to the landlord? If the deposit was paid,what happened to it? My advise to you is to speak to a local lawyer in your area immediately.

Generally, one month commission to be paid by the tenant. This answer may be correct for residential, but it's vastly incorrect for commercial. Commercial commissions paid to the Broker are generally paid monthly for the life of the lease, generally on a sliding scale. I'm a landlord, not a Broker and not an expert, a Commercial Broker or legal expert needs to answer this properly.

Is it illegal for your landlord to up your rent because your boyfriend moved in?

If you have a lease that states the rental to be paid, and does not list changes if others move in, then your landlord cannot increase your rent until it is time to renew the lease. If you have a lease that specifies more rent if more people live in the residence, then you have already agreed to the increase. If you have no lease, your landlord can change the rent at any time, for any reason, unless your local laws say otherwise.


Can a landlord in South Carolina evict a tenant if she has not gotten any money from a real estate agent in more than 3 years?

If the tenant is following the instructions given on a lease, or is following any written instructions on how, where, and when to pay the rent, and is doing so on a timely basis, then there is no reason the landlord can evict them. If the landlord has contracted a real estate agent to collect the rent on their behalf, and the tenant is paying the real estate agent in accordance to the instructions on the lease, then the tenant is not responsible for any rent the real estate agent has not paid the landlord. Otherwise, the basic rule is that the tenant must pay the landlord the rent every month, and is responsible to see that the landlord is paid in accordance to the terms on the lease.


With a Rent-to-Own lease- can the landlord at the end of the lease decide not to sell?

Normally there is no such thing as Rent to Own of a dwelling. Usually it's rent with option to buy. The amount of money paid in rent may or may not count toward the costs of ownership. This all depends on the term of the lease. The Landlord has the right to decide not to sell the property at any time during or after the lease period.


Can a landlord take you to small claims court over unpaid rent even though you paid it and he has no proof When I paid my rent to him he never gave me any type of receipt showing it was paid?

Yes, if you have not fulfilled the terms of the lease. For instance if you moved out during the term of the lease, you would be liable for ALL the rent due for the entire term of the lease even though you had moved out. You may also not have given any notice required by the lease and thus be liable for the rent during this notice period. You may also have neglected to inform the landlord in writing that you wished to end the lease in which case you are still bound by the lease. Understand that a lease is a binding contract it gives YOU certain rights but it also requires you to pay the rent due to the landlord.
