Yes, a lease can be valid even if no money is exchanged, as long as there is a mutual agreement between the parties involved regarding the terms and conditions of the lease.
As soon as a lease is signed - whether or not money has exchanged hands - a legal obligation has been formed. If the landlord decides that he or she does not want you to move in, they may break the lease, but they will open themselves up to a lawsuit.
If you signed, the lease is binding. You don't have to move in, but you do have to pay the rent. The landlord has an obligation to try to rent the place, but until he does, you have to pay.
A lease may not be valid if it is not signed by all owners, as all owners must typically consent to the terms of the lease for it to be legally binding.
A valid lease should contain all the rules that tenant must follow. It should also contain who is allowed to live in the property and what will happen if the lease is violated.
Chances are that the answer is yes. I mean if a lease is valid when it's done orally, and no one has a copy, then if you signed it that's it.
Yes.
Valid. Valid. Valid if there is someone to enforce it like a family member, trust, heir or lawyer. Y-THINK-Y
Yes. As long as that is not prohibited in the lease.
In most cases, a lease is not valid if it is not signed by all tenants listed on the agreement. Each tenant's signature is typically required to make the lease legally binding for all parties involved.
If YOU, his legal spouse, signed the lease - then he cannot be evicted. If no one ever signed a valid lease, then you can all be evicted.
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.
The lease is still valid if you move into the property and pay rent, showing an intent to live there. Always check the local state laws, as there may be exclusions to this rule, but in general, this is true.
