That it is a "lease - with an option to purchase" makes no difference. You would be subject to eviction like any lease tennant, the same as if it didn't have an option. (Agreeably , you MAY still have the option to exercise your right to purchase rather than move, if you are able to perform as required by the Option agreement. It is also possible, and said in most contracts, that breeching the lease eliminates the Option).

If the home you live in is sold and you have signed a one year rental lease can the new owner evict you or do they have to honor the duration of your lease?

Due to the fact that the original landlord no longer owns the property which you are renting it makes the contract null and void and gives the current owner of said property the right to evict you at any time.


Can a landlord evict a guest for a noise complaint if the tenant was causing the noise?

Yes. If a tenant is not in the habit of making a lot of noise then the landlord would not have much grounds to evict them. However, if a tenant is a problem for other renters, how a landlord evicts someone depends on the state in which he lives. Usually, a landlord could evict a person even if they have a lease for violating city codes for noise. A landlord would be wise to put such stipulations in their leases. This is based on the number of complaints the police receive concerning the noise or the number of complaints a landlord receives. In some states, all a landlord has to do is send a registered letter to the tenant notifying them of the complaint and that they are on notice to cease and desist or face eviction. If the tenant continues to bother others with their noise, then the landlord can notify the Sheriff's Department to evict the tenant. Of course this will not prevent the tenant from taking the landlord to court. This is why the landlord needs to keep good records and copies of police reports concerning the tenant to use in court.


If your landlord lost your signed lease and that was the only copy are you liable to stay in that apartment?

The landlord must give you a copy of your lease within 30 days. There is usually a paper you both sign saying you received it. If it is lost you are not liable to stay in the apartment. On the other hand, this also means the landlord can evict you or raise your rent on you without warning because of no proper documentation.


If a co-tenant does not pay the rent on an apartment can the other tenant evict him?

When more than one person signed the lease each is responsible for the full amount of the rent if the other refuses to pay their share. The ability to evict the co-tenant who won't pay their share varies under different jurisdictions. In some cases only the landlord can evict a tenant. You should contact a landlord-tenant agency in your area or an attorney who specializes in tenant issues.

Can a landlord evict someone living on their property when they haven't signed a lease?

I am presuming we have three components here: a landlord, a tenant, and a subtenant. The landlord in this case is presumably renting to a tenant, while the tenant is presumably renting to a subtenant. I presume that tenant has a lease while the subtenant doesn't. The tenant becomes the landlord for the subtenant. Since there is no lease (in most states subletting does not involve a lease) in this case, the tenant who is the subtenant landlord can evict the subtenant. While the main landlord can evict the tenant -which automatically evicts the subtenant -only the tenant can evict the subtenant. But the main landlord can evict all by evicting the tenant.
