What is the worst that can happen to you if you do not pay rent or break the lease?

The renter will be subject to eviction. The exception to this is if the state where the person is renting has laws that allow the renter to withhold payment due to the landlord not keeping the property up to code. Withholding rent payment is a last resort and the state's landlord-tenant laws should be examined before the action is taken. The renter can contact the state or local housing authority for assistance.

ā 15y agoYou get Evicted. Basically your local sheriff's department comes out and gives you an eviction notice (normally a few days if your single, if you have children depending on the state its 30 days) and if your not out by that time they come back with movers and put all of your property on the street curb.

ā 14y agoYour problems and obligations to pay your agreed upon rent do not end upon eviction. You essentially entered into a contract with your landlord, legally obligating yourself to pay rent, and in not doing so you have breached the contract. Your landlord will likely keep your security deposit and may take you to court to recover.

You have a lease now my wife has passed away can you break lease?
Technically, if you are in a lease then you cannot break it or the landlord can keep your security deposit and last month's rent. He can even sue you for loss of revenue up to the time the apartment is rent it out or the lease has expired, whichever comes first. That is the technical rule. But now here's the compassion issue: if your wife has passed away and there is compelling reason to break the lease, I am sure you can work something out with your landlord in which he can cancel the lease for you. But the landlord is usually not obliged to do this.
Can you break your lease if an apartment complex raises your rent after 8 months into a year lease and you cant afford the new rent?
