Is it legal for your tenant to rent to other people without landlords permission?

The situation you describe is called a sublet. Read your lease to confirm that this is allowed as part of the agreement you have with your landlord. Of course, if you choose to collect rental revenue from people without your landlord's permission, and you're collecting rent based on the landlord's assets, you may be liable to the landlord to turn all monies over to him or her. Best practices indicate that it's always a better idea to behave within the bounds of the agreement you have with your landlord.


Can a landlord break lease do to short sale?

Landlords give all sorts of crazy reasons for wanting to break leases. This is one of the strangest I have ever heard. A lease is a legal contract. It may contain a clause describing how the landlord can break it. The landlord may have sold the building for a whole lot of money. If he can get you out without having to pay you to break the lease then he gets to keep more money. His short sale does not involve you. He has a different motive. His short sale does not give him the right to break a lease. Your problem is your lease with him.


How soon before your lease is up can a landlord start showing your house?

Yes. The landlord should give you at least 24 hours of notice to enter without your permission or have your permission. There may be local stipulations for the landlords, an example being that where I live, the landlord can show the apartment only in the month preceding the move out date.

Most landlords require a "pet deposit" in addition to your initial security deposit.

I dont believe they can. Even though it is the landlords property, when it is rented out to a tenant then it does not mean they are able to come in and out as pleased. You have right when you are a tenant. I know that they need to have a notice requirement to enter.


If you are buying a new house but still have time left on your apartment lease can you get out of the lease without paying penalties?

Probably not. However, I suggest to you that you negotiate an early termination of your lease with the landlord. Inform him/her that you have purchased a home and that you need to vacate the property before the original term of the lease. offer the landlord to cooperate while the landlord shows the apartment to prospective tenants. Tell the landlord that you are prepared to keep paying rent and vacate the unit only when a new tenant has been secured. Be pro-active, help the landlord. Put up a flyer in your building and/or around your neighborhood regarding your unit for rent. It is most likely that your landlord will be Ok with ending your lease without penalty if he/she has found a replacement tenant, and if you have shown your willlingness to cooperate. Landlords are people too...You'll be amazed how easy it is to get out of your lease without significant cost to you if you appraoch the landlord with the right attitude. Good luck.
