Is our lease valid if it has the wrong date on it Landlord wrote July 27 2007 to July 27 2007 instead of July 27 2008?

Yes, it could be attributed to "scriviner's error" and interpreted with the obvious intent to enter into at least a one-year lease. However, it would be better to get both parties to agree to the change, in writing, to avoid confusion later, especially if the lease is supposed to go beyond a year.

Is a traffic ticket valid if my name is spelled wrong?
maybe no maybe yes
Wrong address wrong license number and wrong year of car is the ticket still valid and if I pay for it will it be linked to me?
In New York, if the summons is not written correctly, it will dismissed. In your case, they had the wrong license number and wrong address written out so I guess 99.9% your case will be dismissed.
You received a speeding ticket in Montreal Quebec Canada and the drivers license number written on the ticket is wrong Is this a valid defence in court?
I would call contestticket.com... great advice and service.
Can the ticket be dismissed if the wrong state is written down for the license plate as it is a Florida plate but the officer wrote down Minnesota?
No. The issue is a minor one and if all the other information is correct, the name of the driver, plate number etc. the ticket is valid.
Can landlord sue original tenant if sub tenant completes lease?
It depends. If the sub-tenant was there by right and the landlord allowed a sub-lease, then that's a situation where nothing has gone wrong. If the landlord is suing, it sounds instead like the tenant did not have the right to sublet and in that case they are responsible to complete the lease and the sub-tenant may not have had the right to be there.
Is a lease valid if it has the wrong date on it?
If the landlord accepts your rent and you pay it, after the lease is signed, then it generall doesn't matter whether it's properly dated. If the lease was supposed to be for a specific period such as one year and the date was omitted, that could benefit either party depending on the circumstances.
Is a lease valid if the address is wrong?
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.
Can you switch apartments in the middle of your lease without breaking your lease?
Do you mean moving to another apartment owned by the same landlord? If so, then I suppose that the parties have agreed to leave the terms of the lease the same, and just transfer the lease to a different unit. Nothing wrong with that, but it might be a better idea to sign a new lease.
If you signed a lease and are not going to be moving in What am i liable for?
You would be liable for the cost of the rent and the fees in your lease for breaking the lease. Your landlord can also successfully sue you to recover damages to re advertise the place. Your landlord also has a duty to mitigate his damages, and to find a replacement tenant as quickly as possible. Unless you have a good cause to not move in; you will be stuck with these costs. A good cause would be unable to have quiet enjoyment of the house, anything structurally wrong with the house, or you can prove you will not be safe living in that house.
Is your lease valid if the wrong date range was written on it -- the lease says July 2009 - July 2010 rather than July 2010 - July 2011?
Yes. If the actual intent of the parties was obvious, a judge would enforce the contract to the effect that was obviously intended.
Considerations When Signing a Residential Lease?
When looking to move into a new apartment or rental home, many people will consider a lease to be a very boilerplate document that is not different from any other lease that they've signed. However, leases are legally binding documents that can be altered or created by anyone, which means that the landlord could have placed some unfavorable clauses into the lease. Because of this, there are many different things that you should look out for when signing a lease agreement. When reading through the residential lease agreement, the first thing that you need to look out for is what the total charges are each month. While your landlord may have listed the apartment for a certain amount of money each month, they may have attempted to sneak in some additional charges as well. These could include charges for laundry usage, water, or trash removal. If you notice that this is included in the lease, be sure to talk with the landlord to have the excess charges removed. Also, if you have received any promotional offers from the landlord, such as discounted rent for a month, be sure that it is clearly highlighted in the lease. Another thing that you need to take into consideration is the condition of the rental home. Most likely, you will be required to put forth a security deposit, and the landlord will require you to keep the home in the same condition as it was in when you received it. Because of this, you will want to make sure that any noticeable defects with the home are clearly highlighted in either the lease, or a rider to the lease. If you notice things that are wrong after moving in, be sure to contact the landlord immediately. This will ensure that they will not hold you liable for damages that existed prior to you moving in. When moving into the new home and signing a lease, you should also ensure that you are fully aware of any responsibilities that you have for maintenance. Common maintenance responsibilities are replacing air filters in the HVAC system, replacing light bulbs, shoveling snow in front of the home, caring for the lawn, or changing batteries in the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
I dont have a lease anymore and have been living here years without one Our landlord now tells us either you buy the duplex at this price or he will up our rent 300 more a month in January Can he?
It depends upon which state you live in. Real Estate laws vary from state to state. But in general, in that you have no written lease, your tenancy is governed by laws applicable to that of verbal leases. Since it is very difficult to prove the terms of a verbal contract in most states a tenant is required to give a thirty day written notice to the landlord indicating their intention to vacate the premises. The landlord, on the other hand, must give the tenant a sixty day notice. If you do not agree with the terms your landlord is proposing, you can either, 1) give your landlord notice that you intend to vacate the premises in writing, or 2) wait for him to give you notice in writing. If your state or city does not have "rent control" laws, he can propose a $300.00 increase in the event of a verbal lease because no terms were previously agreed upon in writing for rent increases. The important thing to remember is, GET IT IN WRITING, TAKE YOUR TIME AND THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD GO WRONG IN A LEASE AND NEGOTIATE IT INTO YOUR WRITTEN LEASE.
Can a landlord sue a tenant for damages after paying a strict deposit?
I can't answer definitely without more information. Basically, if the tenant did something wrong, then the landlord may very well be in a position to sue to be compensated for this wrong.
Is the ticket still valid if the vehicle type is wrong?
no its not
Can your landlord kick you out if you did nothing wrong...just because he needs the house for some relative?
no
Can you sue your apartment complex for overpayment?
A tenant would file a law suit to get damages, to get something they are due that the landlord won't give them. If the landlord is overcharging, then the tenant would simply not pay the over-charge and tell the landlord this in writing with an explanation. If the landlord tries to evict, the tenant has a chance to explain in court why the eviction is wrong. If the judge agrees, the eviction will be denied. If the judge agrees with the landlord, then they decided you were wrong to think you were being overcharged.
