2 leases to same tenants or different tenants? please explain
The landlord has many responsibilities under the law. Whether they are spelled out in the lease or not doesn't change that. The lease can add responsibilities for the landlord.
As long as you pay the rent, you don't have to leave.
Your landlord can offer a lease renewal at any point in the lease term, however, he cannot force you to sign or raise your rent until the end of the contract.
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.
A person can obtain a commercial lease agreement by asking their landlord to create one. After this is done, a commercial lease between the tenant and the landlord will be made.
You bet they can. Some leases have language in them that say they automatically renew for another year, and other leases contain language that says they turn into a month-to-month lease. Your landlord would have to evict you if they wanted you out if the lease contains either of those clauses. Barring that, at the end of your one year lease, you have no title to that apartment if the landlord chooses not to renew your lease. No landlord in PA is specially obligated to renew any lease. If you've been a good tenant, they probably will, but if you've been a pain to deal with, they're probably not going to renew you and they'll try their luck with another tenant.
It depends on the type of lease and the amount of time that the notices to end the tenancy was given. If this is a termed lease (3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year, etc) then the landlord cannot terminate the lease unless the tenant has broken a material provision of the contract (such as not paying rent, criminal activity, serious damage occurring, etc). If the landlord wishes to terminate this lease lawfully, they must give a tenant the same amount of notice as the duration of the lease. Meaning, if you signed a one year lease that the landlord wishes not to renew, they must inform one year in advance of the lease end. Meaning when signing up for a one years lease, if it's a non-renewal lease that will not convert to a month to month, then the lease must inform the signer that the lease will end one year from the date it's signed. If you do not have a termed lease, you're considered tenancy-at-sufferance or a month to month renter. In order for a landlord to lawfully terminate this leasehold, they must give you the same amount of notice as your rent is required to be paid. If you pay your rent monthly, you're required to be given 30 days notice to quit. If you pay weekly, only seven days are required. If a landlord ends a leasehold during the duration of the lease, through no fault or request of the lessor (renter), the landlord owes back the entire security deposit. In some cases, such as the landlord demands you leave the property on the 30th, and still expects rent if you reside there on the 1st, the landlord may even be liable for housing costs associated with improper termination of the lease (such as having to stay in a motel for a few days to secure new, safe, reliable housing). You may even be entitled to lost wages if this required you to take time from work to secure new housing.
It's not impossible, but it really depends on how the lease is written.
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.
He could, but it depends on the wording of the lease. Normally there is only one tenant on a lease: the rest of the legal occupants are considered part of the household. A landlord can kick out the one tenant and create a new lease for another occupant, making him the tenant.
You must have the lease re-written and probably need the other tenants on the lease present as well. You can't simply walk away from it as you will still be legally bound for your portion of the monthly rent and utility expenses.
Terminate your lease if you have one or do not renew the lease unless your landlord fixes the items of which were brought to his attention.
