What else can I help you with?
If you signed a lease and did not pay a security deposit is it valid?
Signing the lease and paying the security deposit are two separate issues. Furthermore, if you don't pay the security deposit then you could be in violation of the lease terms and be evicted if the landlord chooses. Normally you pay the security deposit before you and your landlord sign the lease, or work out a payment plan that you and your landlord agree to. If your landlord agreed to allow you to skip the security deposit then that part of the lease is waived and the rest of the lease stands.
Can a landlord break a rental lease agreement early because he did not pay the mortgage payments on the house and mortgage company is going to foreclose?
Depends on the local and state laws.
What is suborination and non disturbance agreement?
The correct term is "subordination". This is an agreement signed by a tenant and landlord of commercial property which is a recognition on the part of the tenant that the lease is subordinate to any mortgage which the landlord has or may in the future place on the property. Lenders sometimes want this so that the tenant recognizes that the lease does not have priority over a mortgage granted by the lender. The non disturbance agreement generally signed by the lender and/or landlord which indicates that so long as the tenant is not in default of the lease, the possession of the tenant will not be "disturbed" or in other words, the tenant will be allowed to remain in the premises even if the landlord should be in default of the mortgage.
What happens if I have rental housing and the landlord is foreclosed on for not paying the mortgage Will they kick me out on short notice?
In general your lease is still binding so long as you uphold your end. They could try to convince you to move and make threats, but the lease would be binding upon the new owner just like the old one.
What can happen if you stop paying your lease payment on your apartment halfway through the lease and you leave the apartment?
The landlord has an obligation to try to rent it. If she cannot, she can sue you for each month, through the end of the lease.
Which is worse an eviction or broken lease?
An eviction definitely! With a broken lease, you are still paying your landlord the rent that you own him and will probably be paying a fee to break the lease. With an evicition, the renter probably has stopped paying the rent or has damaged the property or has been doing something illegal like growing marijuana on the property.
Has the landlord ever returned the signed lease to you?
No, the landlord has not returned the signed lease to you.
If your lease expired and you've been renting mnth to mnth without a lease and landlord is accepting your rent why and where does it say that you have to give a 30-day notice if you don't have a lease?
I don't know what state you live in but in NJ you dont have to have a written lease as long as you are paying rent and the landlord is accepting it you are sort of renewing your lease every month. Most libraries have a copy of the Landlord/Tenant Rights or you could probrably find it online.
Can you get in trouble for being on a lease and have someone else take your place but still paying rent?
If the lease prohibits subletting you will be violating the terms of the lease. In this case the landlord would have to agree to create an entirely new lease listing the other person instead of you for it to be legal. As it is a new lease the rent could be noticeably higher for the new person than it was for you. If the lease does not prohibit subletting you can do this by simply renting your part to the other person, have them pay you and you continue paying the landlord. However this is very rare.
If you are buying a new house but still have time left on your apartment lease can you get out of the lease without paying penalties?
Probably not. However, I suggest to you that you negotiate an early termination of your lease with the landlord. Inform him/her that you have purchased a home and that you need to vacate the property before the original term of the lease. offer the landlord to cooperate while the landlord shows the apartment to prospective tenants. Tell the landlord that you are prepared to keep paying rent and vacate the unit only when a new tenant has been secured. Be pro-active, help the landlord. Put up a flyer in your building and/or around your neighborhood regarding your unit for rent. It is most likely that your landlord will be Ok with ending your lease without penalty if he/she has found a replacement tenant, and if you have shown your willlingness to cooperate. Landlords are people too...You'll be amazed how easy it is to get out of your lease without significant cost to you if you appraoch the landlord with the right attitude. Good luck.
Who do renters make a lease agreement with?
Renters make a lease agreement with a landlord.
What happens if a landlord loses a rental agreement and the tenants have broken the lease by not paying?
If the rent is not paid, you need to serve a notice to quit. It doesn't really matter whether you have the lease.
