Yes you have to follow the terms of the lease. You are however entiltled to a copy of it, and I owuld ask for it. Some leases will include a clause that gives the renter the option to break the lease early if 30 written notice is given. Some rental companies will also allow a lease to be broken if they are given enough notice to rerent the place before the current residents vacate. I would get a copy of the lease and see how it reads and if any of these options are available to you!

Can you break your lease if you never moved in?

Well, there is nothing to stop you from breaking the lease, however, the renter does not necessarily have to give you back the deposit (if there was a deposit required).


Can you get your security deposit back if you signed a lease but the landlord has not signed yet and move in date is in 3 weeks?

Technically, yes. If you never took residency (and never accepted keys to your unit), there could not possibly be any damage that was caused by you. However, you may wish to worry about fees involved in breaking a lease - you may have to forfeit a month or two's rent!


What is a multi story apartment?

a multi story apartment I assume you mean an indivual apartmen is one that is usually a penthousewith two floors entertainment on the lower floor and bedrooms on the top floor. these are the most expensive apartments to rent, lease or buy in the building. If you meant how many stories in the building than everything I wrote before was a waste because you will never understand it. And odds are that you will never live in one too.


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.


If a landlord is stalling on renewing lease what are tenants rights?

Generally none. If the tenant continues in possession once the lease term has expired he would be deemed a tenant at will, or a month-to-month tenant (if the rent is paid monthly) or a week-to-week tenant (if the rent is paid weekly). The frequency of rent payments determines whether the tenant is month to month or week to week, and also the notice the landlord must give before requiring the tenant to move. If its month to month the landlord must generally give one weeks notice to quit if he wants the tenants out. If you would feel more secure with a lease you might have to move. Many people never sign a lease after the first one expires and continue on a month to month basis.

When you have a signed rental property lease and received a notice of auction for sale after leasing for two months is that fraudulent inducement from the landlord?

Some states have laws that preserve a lease (like, for a year, not month-to-onth) after a sale. There is a strong legal argument that if the buyer was aware of the lease at the time of the sale, he is bound by it. But, no, unless the lease says that he can't sell (and, I've never seen one that does), nothing prohibits the landlord from selling.
