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.


Does a landlord have to have a reason to kick a tenant out?

How can you be legally terminated from a joint responsibility month to month rental agreement when your roommate refuses to end the agreement also?

Any of the three parties can terminate the tenancy at the end of the next month, with notice this month. Then, one roommate can sign a new agreement with the landlord, without the other tenant.


How do i renew one year lease?

Generally you can renew a lease by stating your intention in writing to the landlord and awaiting their response to you. If a landlord does not give you any type of response within 30 days of the end of your lease you are able to stay on a month to month basis. They must give you notice to leave, they can not make you leave. Generally a tenant does not have to give a notice to leave at the end of their lease.


Do you have to give 30 days notice to a non-tenant?

In Massachusetts, statute says that he definitely has the right to show it in the last 30 days. But, it doesn't deny him the right before that. The parties should be able to work something out. In any case, the tenant is always entitled to at least 24-hour notice, and preferably 48.

In the State of Florida what is the process to get someone out of your home who is not a tenant does not pay rent is not a relative or a friend?

The process is the same for any tenant the landlord wants to evict. First the tenant must be served a 30-day notice if the rent is month-to-month, even if the "tenant" has not paid one penny towards their rent (if you agreed to let them live there rent-free) When the 30-day notice has expired you must then file eviction proceedings. First you must serve a three-day notice stating that they must pay their rent or move out. When that notice has expired you must then file a petition or complaint for eviction. Each state has their own process by which this must be done. In Florida you must file the petition with the county court's clerk's office. A summons will then be served upon the tenant by a sheriff's deputy and the tenant must follow the directions on the Summons regarding how to answer their Summons.

Can a tenant demand security deposit when moved out owing rent and gave no notice?

If no notice is given, then the tenant owes for the next month, if the landlord tries to rent the unit and cannot. The security deposit can be applied to the arrearage - the landlord needs to write the tenant a letter so stating.

Can a lanlord evict a tenant giving one weeks notice?

This depends on several factors, including whether the eviction is because of a serious or repititious lease violation, whether there is a written lease, and if the rent is on a month-to-month or week-to-week basis. Did the Landlord give the one-week notice or did the Tenant? Is there a written lease? Then the answer is probably "no," unless it's because of a serious or repititious violation of the terms of the lease. If there is no violation involved and there is a written lease, then the landlord or tenant must give at least a 30-day notice before the lease expires. The tenant cannot move out during the lease period unless the Landlord agrees to allow such. If there is no lease and the rent is month-to-month, then the landlord or tenant must give at least 30 days of notice before the next rent is due. If there is no lease and the rent is on a week-to-week basis, then one week's notice is given by either side, before the next rent is due. He can also give a week's notice if there is a lease and that lease is being seriously violated by the Tenant. Now, a week's notice, or whatever notice is given, is not an automatic right of the landlord to force you out of your home: he must follow proper eviction proceedings.


Can my landlord kick me out of my apartment anytime he wants?

If you have a lease your landlord would have to take you to court to have you kicked out of the apartment. If you are a month to month tenant then the landlord can request that you vacate with 30 days notice.


In Massachusetts can a tenant give a 30 day notice any day of the month?

You can give the notice any day you want, but the term '30-day' is a misnomer. The notice is for the end of the next rental period. Today is November 12. If the rent is due on the first of each month, notice given today is for December 31, not December 12.
