Landlord-Tenant Issues

If you sub-lease a unit, then the tenant that leases to you is considered your Landlord. Their landlord is NOT the sub-lessee's landlord. The master landlord, who usually does not allow subleasing, is not bound by the Landlord/Tenant Act toward the sub-lessee. So if they kick out your sub-landlord, they are kicking out EVERYONE. The master landlord cannot lock out his tenant unless they legally evict that tenant. Since a sub-lessee doesn't have the same rights, then they too are locked out.

i rented a place on the 4th of November signed a 1 year lease contract gave all the required funds . the landlord called me on Wednesday of last week and stated to me i no longer wanted to rent to me and that i had til Friday to move out . i asked why and she said i lied to her which i had not .i ended up in the hospital from having a mild heart attack was admitted into the hospital was released yesterday afternoon . landlord showed up at my door banging incited i let her to do a walk thru and sign some paper she had typed up . i told her i just woke up and had been released from the hospital she then informed me she had been checking then hospital to see when exactly i was released .does she have grounds to breach the 1 years lease agreement?

They can demand that funds be either cash, money order, or cashier's cheque.

A breach of contract would be a civil suit. Most jurisdictions have a statute of limitations on bringing such cases. It varies anywhere from 2 years to much longer. Additionally, different limitations period apply depending upon whether the contract was written or verbal. It is also important to know, when trying to determine the statute of limitation, when the past performance of a requirement was under the contract (such as a partial payment of a debt). Generally, the statute of limitations will begin anew from the date of last performance (rather than dating back to the date the original debt was incurred).

Consult an attorney in your specific jurisdiction to find out what fits in your area and the nuances that apply to your facts.

A modified gross lease is a variation of a gross lease in which, typically, a tenant only pays base rent during the first calendar year (even if it is only part of a calendar year) and in subsequent years also pays a percentage of increases in building property taxes, insurance, utilities, and other operating expenses. The first calendar year is considered the base year and any increase in taxes, insurance or operating expenses over the base year are allocated to tenants based on the percentage of space in the building or multi-building project that the tenant occupies. The tenant must then pay its percentage of allocated expenses in addition to base rent. Sometimes the increase is only billed annually, but usually the landlord charges a monthly amount estimated to cover the annual charges and after the end of the year reconciles the actual costs with the estimated amounts paid by the tenant. Office space leases are usually modified gross leases, commercial and retail leases are sometimes modified gross (but usually net) and residential leases are rarely modified gross (usually gross).

Yes, absolutely. But be aware that the 30 day notice must be given at least 30 days before the next rent is due. Month to month basically means that: you're living on a month-to-month basis, a tenancy which can be terminated by either side with such notice given.

If the person is not an owner, does not have a lease or rental agreement then the owner's of the property can request that said person leave the premises within a reasonable time or even immediately. If the adult does not voluntarily comply, the owners can request the assistance of the local authorities to remove the person from the property. Please be advised that the person has the legal right to all of their personal belongings and any items that can be considered as being "gifted" (birthday, Christmas presents and so forth).

The tenant would have to leave after an eviction, which is why a sheriff officer observes the whole process of the tenant removing their possessions out of the property and the landlord changing the locks to the property. If they do not remove their possessions, they generally become your property (under normal conditions).

No, a former landlord can't charge the tenants to change the locks on the property. All sorts of situations can happen between landlords and tenants when it comes to changing locks. Whether landlords change the locks or tenant changes them, both need to know what otherone can and cannot do. So all should know evrything before going to buy a property. I have some idea regarding Las Vegas Eviction Services of RocketEviction, which offers quick, efficient Nevada eviction services for apartment complex owners, high-rise condominium owners and other multi-family rentals in Clark County, Nevada.

Yes, but you actually have to give a full rental period notice. So, if the rent is due on the first, and you give notice October 21, you owe November rent, and can stay until November 30.

Not without a reason, like some kind of a breach by the landlord.

Subleasing is the act of renting out your home, or part thereof, to someone else while you are renting the home yourself. The most common form of subleasing is getting a roommate to help you with your apartment/home expenses. Basically you become that person's landlord. A sublease agreement, therefore, is an agreement between you and your roommate, similar to a lease between you and your landlord. Subleasing is usually something that landlords don't allow. If they do then your sublease agreement can be worked out between you and the person you are about to sublease or rent out to. Other forms of subleasing may be to rent out the entire unit to someone else while you are paying your landlord the rent for the property, which often means pocketing the difference (profit). One example of subleasing an entire unit is when a person is paying low rent for the unit and charges more rent than the pricipal tenant is paying, such as if the original renter is participating in a rental assistance program, something that is highly illegal.

Technically, no. Squatters are simply trespassers. Adverse possession is somewhat more restricted in Tennessee than in some other states. You can read more at the related link.

Bankruptcy has nothing to do with the tenant. If a bank forecloses on the mortgage, US federal law requires the bank to give the tenants a 90 day notice to quit, if they want the building emptied. But, it could be that the landlord will survive the bankruptcy, and there will be no foreclosure.

Probably. A landlord has no right to enter without the tenant's permission, and being in the unit without the tenant present - even with the tenant's permission - is usually a bad idea. Therefore, if only the tenant has a key, the landlord is actually protecting himself from some liability. If the tenant changes the locks, he should save the original lockset, and put it back when he leaves.

I don't know New Mexico law but the general principle of leasing is the owner must make the property "habitable" and that includes supplying a heating system so it can be kept at a reasonable temperature. They don't have to pay for the heating necessarily - in the apartments I rent out, they have a gas-burning furnace and the tenant pays for gas. If your landlord controls the heat, then they must turn it on when it gets cold.

As will all legal issues, your answer may vary depending on the state where you are renting. In general though, as long as the landlord notifies the tenant and the tenant agrees to it, then a background check would be legal.

In WA, the statue of limitations is 6 years. Your state's may be more or less, but I am sure that the tenant's claim is time barred. If you are facing a lawsuit, consult an attorney or call your local law library and ask for the applicable statue of limitations.

There are many things typically provided: name and address of landlord and tenant, rental property address, term of the tenancy, rent, deposits and fees, utilities, a list of conditions of the unit, repair and maintenance responsibilities, limits on behavior, ability of landlord to enter unit, restrictions on occupants, rules of use, rules on pets, and termination information.

This is more of a rent control question. Most states are not rent-controlled, but many jurisdictions within those states may be. If that is the case, then the rent cannot be any higher than the amount that is controlled by the jurisdiction. Otherwise, as is the case in most states, the rent can be as high as the landlord wants: it would be up to you, the tenant, to decide whether you want to pay the increased amount. If not, then you must vacate premises.

Tenant and lessee are the same thing, they are a person who rents property from a lessor who own property that he wants to lease.
