Yes but proving what the terms are becomes more difficult if the parties disagree.
Only if the Lessee is in default of the terms of his/her Lease.
You sue a landlord in which ever state you signed the lease and retained the property in. If the landlord resides in Toledo, Ohio and you rent a property and signed your lease in Monroe, Michigan, you sue in Monroe, Michigan. However, if your lease specifies that any civil proceedings must take place in the landlords state of residency, you're bound by the contract to file suit in the landlords state of residency.
Depends on the details. How much of the lease was left when the tenant broke the lease? Did you re-rent the apartment? If so, when? Contact me with the details and I will try to help. In the meantime keep track of all the charges. My blog:www.thelandlorddoctor.com Email: Bill@thelandlorddoctor.com
A lease is a legal contract. If you signed it then you agreed to be bound by its terms. If you don't live up to ALL the terms of the lease, the complex can sue you in court to recover past due rent, losses and damages. Depending on state laws they can also sue for rent under the terms of the lease either for the duration or until they have been able to sign up a new tenant. If they prevail in court, the court will set the amount due and the plaintiff can request a judgment lien that can be used to garnish your wages in some states and under certain conditions, seize your property and any bank accounts in order to satisfy the lien. The law varies in different jurisdictions. If you still have questions you should contact your local landlord-tenant agency for the rules in your jurisdiction.
Yes. anytime you co-sign a lease you are 100% responsible not only for the money of rent but 100% of all other terms. Such as damage, late fees, early termination fees, court costs, etc. for the full duration of the family members tenant status. In a lease or month-to-month the co-signer remains responsible until the tenant is no longer on property. If the co-signer wants to be relieved of future liability, then the co-signer should send a written notice to the landlord, before the lease renews or goes month-to-month, requesting he/she to be removed from the agreement as a co-signer. I would imagine the terms and rules would still apply, even though the lease expired and is now month-to-month. So write a letter and give notice that you are ending your arrangement.
Yes.
Sure, if they co-signed the lease and left you holding the bag. You can go to Small Claims court--look online for advice as to how to prove your case.
No lease does not mean no rules. If a tenant causes excessive damages you can still sue them.
Of course you can, and having a copy of that signed contract would be helpful...
Yes, a guarantor can sue the tenant for defaulting on the lease agreement.
Yes the landlord can be sued for breaking the lease.
If you simply agreed to leave, then that may be it. If he evicted you for cause, you might owe him for those months. If he violated your quiet enjoyment in the way he asked you to leave, then you might be able to sue for up to three months.
Yes. I filed for that reason alone. I signed a lease for a business. I was told I had to sign a personal guarantee. I had to file a personal BK because of it. When I left the lease they tried to sue the business....but the business had nothing, so they came after me because I signed a personal guarantee. I filed a Bankruptcy and it was discharged.
How long does it take to get n answer
If a tenant abandons a property without notice he is in violation of the lease, and the landlord can sue and/or keep the security deposit. The tenant may also be responsible for the rent of the unit during any time the unit is unoccupied during the remainder of the time of the lease.
If they are on it-yes.
The landlord could sue the tenant, after making a reasonable effort to ient the unit, for the entire year's rent.
