Assuming you aren't involved in the action causing the lien, it has nothing to do with you (as you are not the owner), so your obligations to the lessor continue until you are notified otherwise.
You can usually tell by the upkeep of the apartment building. As far as your landlord's character try talking to some of the other tenants.
If the rent is not paid, you need to serve a notice to quit. It doesn't really matter whether you have the lease.
If the lease has expired and the co-signer has NOT signed the month-to-month agreement, the co-signer should be off the hook.
This is something you're going to need to check out. The answer to this question is exhaustive. But basically if the building meets the local or municipal building code, it should meet the same federal quality standards.
YES. I believe so, according to the lease agreement article 4 of paragraph 8 sub title 3A ,B and C
While renting your property, you need to ensure that your tenants are qualified for handling or residing in your property. Screening tenants helps you to get qualified tenants and you will get an opportunity to know your tenants better before signing lease or rental agreement.here are steps for screening tenants.
I believe that you're talking about a Tenancy and subletting. Subletting is the act of renting out part of or an entire apartment or home from someone who is renting the unit from the owner. Some landlords allow this while others don't. Just keep in mind that if the property owner decides to evict the tenant, this includes every body in the apartment. Sub tenants are not obliged to any lease agreement the main tenants are bound by with their landlord.
Yes, a landlord can redecorate and fix the house for selling while the current tenants are still renting and living there, as long as it does not disrupt the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment and does not violate any terms specified in the lease agreement. The landlord should communicate with the tenants in advance about any planned renovations or repairs and try to schedule them at a convenient time for the tenants.
He can collect for any back rent owed. He can't try to collect for the months that the lease switched over to the new tenants, unless otherwise noted in your lease agreement.
That's called subleasing, and it's frowned upon by the landlord, whose intentions in renting out the apartment is that he rents it to his lawful tenants, not to sub-tenants. You can be evicted if you break this rule on the lease.
Only if it's in the written agreement.
Generally yes, as long as there was no agreement recited in the original deed that restricted the transfer of interest. If they owned as tenants in common or joint tenants one can convey their interest to someone else.
No. Termination of a contract must be in writing.
The sale of a house does not terminate a rental agreement, but the rental agreement is with the former owner and not with the new owner, unless otherwise agreed in the sale. The former owner of the house is liable to the tenants for damages, unless otherwise stipulated in the rental agreement. You will have to evict the tenants to get them out, and they can sue the former owner. I don't think anyone would sell a house without some sort of transfer or termination of the lease. I am not a lawyer.
There's no law that says the bank has to take the tenant's money. However, the Federal Protection of Tenants in Foreclosure Act requires the bank to give tenants 90 days to vacate.
I know of no law that forbids renting to a felon, or a gang member.Another PerspectiveA landlord has the responsibility to provide tenants with a safe and healthy environment. Renting units to known gang members who then cause damages, harm or loss to the other tenants may create some liability for the landlord. If that is the case you should consult with an attorney or with a landlord-tenant agency in your town who can review your situation and explain your options, if any.
Barney Northrup made the mistake of double renting the empty apartments by inviting multiple tenants to move into the same units at Sunset Towers. This led to confusion and conflict among the tenants who all believed they had signed leases for the same apartments.
