Legally, you have to give him/her 30 days notice to leave. If you collect rent from them and you kick them out early you have refund the rent and any other money you collected from them. Call the police if you feel threatened and get a file going just in case you end up in small claims court.
If the contract bears your name and the roommate signed your name with your permission or knowledge then you are responsible for the debt.
The homophone for "smallest in amount" is "least," and for "rent under written agreement" it is "lease."
If your name is not on the lease, you are not under contract with the landlord so you don't have to "get out" of anything. YAY!
Grant use or occupation of under a term of contract.
A nominate contract is one that has a specific name attached to it. An example of a contract of this type would be an apartment lease or a loan agreement.
Yes, anyone that goes against the agreement in a written contract (both signatures must be present) is violating that contract. I'd seek legal counsel. Second opinion: I'd also seek legal counsel. BUT, does your lease say anything like, "If any section of this lease is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, all other valid sections of this lease shall remain in force."? It's a very common kind of phrase in contracting. Also, many leases have language which says that failure of Lessor to perform any action required under the Lease shall not nullify the Lease or the Lessee's requirements under it. In other words, there are ways that elements of a contract may be voided without voiding the entire contract. Be careful before saying, "You didn't do this, so I'm outta' here!" ;)
(in the US) Contract law is quire clear and is not administered under "common" law. If the lease prohibits the lease from being "assigned" then it is not legally assignable. If there is no prohibition against it then it is legally permissable.
An individual that is under the age of 18 can not rent housing legally. To rent a house a contract or lease may be signed and no one under 18 can legally enter into a contract.
No , because the new tenant(s) are under a new contract i.e. lease agreement . Your contract ended at the end of your lease . If you sublet your apartment then yes you have a contractual obligation .
Generally, anyone under the age of 18 cannot enter a legal binding contract. A lease is such a contract. So no apartment complex would ever lease to a 17-year-old.
The answer depends on whether or not your roommate is allowed under the lease. Virtually all residential leases contain a clause that restricts who can live in the apartment. Does your lease contain such a clause? And if so, does it prohibit roommates (or people other than yourself) from living in the apartment? If you have questions about your lease, I suggest you contact a tenant's rights organization in your area. They can read your particular lease and offer guidance on your state's landlord-tenant laws. Alternatively, you can contact an landlord-tenant law attorney (look for one who offers "free consultations" in your local phone book).
