What else can I help you with?
What should I do if my landlord wants me to sign a lease that differs from what is advertised?
ask the police if what he/sj=he is doing is legal, really it should be illegal as it is false advertising
Is it legal for me to get a copy of the lease agreement if i didn't sign it?
Depends on the laws of your state. Some states do have little-known statutes that say that if the tenant is not given a copy (say, within 30 days) then the lease is not binding. Most states, though, it doesn't matter. And, it's very difficult to prove that the landlord didn't try to deliver it.
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.
If you cosigned on a year lease on an apartment for your son can the apartment hold you responsible when the lease is up if he doesn't pay his rent?
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.

Can your landlord change the amount of the rent after a year just by telling you on the phone what he wants when you signed an agreement a year ago?
It depends on the term of your lease. If you had signed a one year lease, an additional year may be offered at a higher monthly rate. If you had signed a longer term lease, the landlord cannot increase the rent during the course of the lease unless specifically permitted in the lease.
Can the landlord require renter insurance?
Yes! Your landlord can require anything he wants in the lease.
What happens after your 1 year lease is up in California are you on a month to month or can your landlord ask for another signed lease?
It can go either way, depending on what the landlord wants. If they want you to sign another lease, they can require you to do so if you wish to continue living there. In absence of another lease, you are considered to be on "month to month" under the same terms as the original lease.

How can your landlord raise your rent base on fair market value?
Your landlord can do what he wants when your lease runs out.
What does a landlord have to pay to move you out if he wants to move back in?
Nothing. The landlord need only give you the notice required by law (20 days in WA) and then simply move back in. The exception is if you have a lease--in that case, the landlord must honor the term of the lease unless the landlord and tenant mutually agree to break the lease. In that case, the tenant is free to demand compensation of the landlord for the landlord's breaking the lease.
Can an apartment complex change a lease prior to the recent one expiring without a new one being signed?
Generally speaking, once the lease is executed by both parties, money exchanged (rent is paid with any deposits to move in), and a key is issued to the tenant, the lease may not be changed. If the landlord later wants to change the terms of the new lease, he has the right to do so: the tenant has the right to sign or reject it and move out.
No signed lease. 4 of us share a house 1 moved out now the son of the landlord wants me to pay a portion toward the empty room.who is responsible for paying 2are the children of landlord.i'm not?
Since there is no signed lease, unless you are married to the person who moved out, you are not responsible for his portion of the rent. The landlord(s) must take the tenant who moved out to small claims for his portion of the rent (and hope for a default judgment). ---------------- The grammar and sense of the question is quite The landlord only wants the full amount every month. If there are four or three or even two residents doesn't matter.
Can the landlord terminate a lease agreement if the landlord has sold the property?
This would depend upon the terms of the lease, but generally depend on why the landlord wants to terminate the lease. If the tenant violated the terms of the lease then the landlord can terminate the lease after proper warning or after proper notice is given. Otherwise the landlord has to wait until the lease expires and can choose not to renew.
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.
Can landlord sell house that is being rented?
No. A lease is a legally binding contract that runs with a property, regardless of who owns the property. Unless there was a provision in the lease that specifically gave the landlord the right to break the lease upon sale of the property, you can compel the landlord and the new owner of the property to honor your lease. If you find that either the previous or new owner of the property is refusing to honor your lease, contact a landlord-tenant law attorney. A listing is available in your local phone book.
Can a landlord change lease with out informing you?
No, you have to be notified IN WRITING of any lease changes 30 days (in most states) before changes are to take effect. A good landlord would ask his tenant to at least initial any lease changes. He cannot however raise your rent until your lease is up. When its up he can charge you whatever he wants. If he is a private landlord and not a gov program etc.
