i'm not sure what part of the situation you own and who is renting from you, but here goes....\n\nif you bought a single home and you are turning it into 2 apartments, then i would defintiely check on the zoning issues with that.  \n\nif the neighbors are complaining, then too bad for them. they could try to petition it, which if enough people had issue, they could win.\nMy aunt lives in the town i grew up in and they were going to build some prject housing near her development.  the people of the town petitioned it and won.  \n\nyour situation is hardly similar in that it wouldn't affect the neighbor's value that much.\n\nalso, be aware, that if you try to do this project w/out proper zoning, and the neighbors find out...well, they could make a stink.\n\nnow, if you're talking about people already living in the home you bought and they don't want it divided, well, then you will need to consult their lease agreement with the old company.  if you bought it under the willingness of upholding their lease, then you're stuck.  if the previous owner sold it, then the lease is with them, not you and you can do kick them out if you please.\n\ni'll put this on my watchlist, so hopefully, you'll give some more details and i might help some more.

Unless the lease has a provision for cancellation upon sale to a new owner, the lease should remain in effect even through a sale. \n\nYou can always try to buy the current occupants out of their lease. Otherwise, there's probably not a legal way terminate the lease prior to the end of its term.\n\n(Another thing to consider -- does the tenant have an option to renew? They may be in there for more than 2 years.)

This is completely illegal.  An apartment manager has to give the tenant warning that they are coming in unless of an emergency.  They can not sieze a tenant belongings.  She needs to call the police and state that the landlord came into her home and took her belongs.\n\nHere's the thing: even if she signed a contract stating that the landlord can come in and sieze her belongings if non payment of rent that contract is noll in void in court.  Every state has laws to protect the landlord and the tenant and these laws over ride the contract. The landlord coming in the home without notice and stealing her things is probably illegal in every state.  Tell you gf to get her rental agreement out and then call the police.  She can also put in an complaint with the Housing Authorities.  The landlord can not legally evict her because of the actions she takes either.

Post the 24 hours notice in writing on the door, then you or your agent can just go in and show the place.\n\nIt's probably a condition of the lease that you be allowed to show prospective buyers/tenants the property, and her refusal to cooperate constitutes a breach of the lease.  Since it sounds like she's going to be trouble for you anyways throughout this process, I'd recommend giving her a 3 day notice to quit and starting the eviction proceedings.  Ideally you can give her some U-Haul money to vacate the property without eviction proceedings.\n\nThe last thing you need when selling your property is a nut-job tenant messing with your sale.

The lease from the previous landlord is still in effect. When does it expire?  When an investment property is sold, the new owner has also purchased all the leases that are in effect at the time of purchase.  Once that lease is up, it is up to the new owner whether or not A) he wants to let you stay, B) whether he wants to just renew the lease you were in with the old owner and C) whether he wants to have you sign a whole new lease (make sure you read it). \nI work for a commercial real estate management firm and encounter this on a regular basis.  Just keep paying rent and closer to the time that your current lease expires (I'd say a month and a half before) contact the owner and ask if they intend to let you continue leases the place and explain that you'd like to have something in writing.  Read your current lease. Did the old owner put any options in there? Like "tenant has the right to renew this lease with XX days written notice"?\n\nAs for rent escrow - that should only be used when the Landlord has failed to make repairs that inhibit the liveability of the premises, such as replacing the hvac system if it died, replacing the roof, etc.  Don't use rent escrow because you want a new lease.\n\nI can't stress enough - READ YOUR LEASE. That's where all the information you could ever need as to your rights as a Tenant will be.  It's the Bible of your residence rights.

i am not sure but i think there is a department of housing  somewhere in riverside county. i would contact them as soon as possible. if your lease states that you are the sole renters of the property i not think he can. but if you aren't on a lease and are just renting month to month there could be a problem. best of luck. in the end the homeowner may just be building you another room that you get to use instead.

You are OK. A lease is an agreement and cannot be broken. You signed a contract and so did the owner.

Wait...you signed a contract KNOWING you weren't going to abide by it?\n\nAnd... the answer is YES.  They, the property management, CAN place restrictions in the lease.  Depending upon how the lease reads EXACTLY the key to this restriction is the word "loaded".  Meaning you can keep an unloaded gun with a clip or speed loader nearby - It will be hard to prove either way.

Unfortunately, I think it is legal; my apartment complex does the same. I think it has something to do with the property owner's business choices superceding your choices, since ultimately you can choose not to live there, you know?\n\nI think it's retarded and I hate it too.

If you signed a lease you are bound to it.  It is not the complexes fault that someone said something to you that you do not like.  Make the manager aware of  the threat.  If she/he is a good manager she will address the problem and take care of it for you.  If one of my residents get threatened, I have no problem evicting the bad guys...good luck

Look at your original lease.  He cannot add terms or conditions to the original document.  That constitues a breach.  DO NOT sign the new one without talking to a lawyer about what your rights are in regards to the original contract.  When someone changes a material portion of the lease, they are offering you a new lease.  He is still responsible for what is under the original before the date of the new one.  \n\nNow I'm telling you this without looking at the lease, and without knowing the laws in your area.  you should definitely have a  lawyer look at it though.  \n\nJust a thought....you might want to consider moving anyway, but at least get rid of the 30-day eveiction notice part.  Please have it checked out though.\n\n  me

First, I sure get tired of folks responding to questions as if they were text messaging you; I wonder if they can properly spell anything. Second, each state has slightly different laws regarding personal property and tenancy. I also have a feeling you left a few details out; the owner of the property where your "house" or trailer was/is sitting on, is a rented space to you (Lessee) owned by the Lessor.  You must have recieved multiple notices regarding the issue of your back lot rent, and THEN it went to Small Claims Court.  The Judge in Small Claims must have had your "paid up" receipts of record, (if you bothered to show up)or not-if not, the Lessor (owner of the property) would have won the small claims case, then she/he (Lesor)would have had an additional request, through another court, at another date later, to request seizure of your property to pay the back owed bills.***** They can only do this if they have proved you had received Notices of these actions.**** The only way they could have had the utilities turned off is if they ended up owning YOUR property in this very legal way.  Seek free legal help from your community legal program; there is pro bono in just about every city in the USA.

Wow!\nGood Question. I live in Texas too so I would suggest that you contact your local Justice of the Peace or Constable and ask them. The J.P. issues the eviction notice and the constable enforces it.\n\n\nWhy are you responsible for this person? I would think since your name is on the lease and you moved--that's the end of it. I would wager that the landlord will have to evict the tenant....but that is just a guess. Contact the J.P or Constable for a definitive answer

Be very careful on land contracts-they are tricky.  I would make sure that you have a really good lawyer and ALWAYS make sure that the owner is using legal contracts that are supplied by the local board of realtors.  You also need to check and make sure there are no liens on the property against the owner-especially if it is new there could be construction liens if contractors weren't paid properly.

You have to follow the terms agreed to in your rental agreement.  Sorry there is not a better answer.

Why isn't the landlord doing something about this?  If you are in a nice community, go over the manager's head to the owners.   Their name should be in your paperwork somewhere, or in the office literature or brochures.   Usually these major corporations have web sites, and are VERY interested in your input.   Use dates, incidents, good descriptions.   They don't like potential theft and destruction problems themselves. \n\nThe bad thing is, some corporates refer the problem back down to the manager, who could get mad at you.   But since he/she isn't  doing their job, they don't have the right.   At this point, what have you got to lose?   \n\nGood luck to you.

Read the small print where it indicates what options or reasons that may arise to allow to opt out of your lease.  Also is the lease legal? There may be parts of it that may not be legal.  Is there rent control in your area? In rent control areas, some Cities require leases to have only a 30 day termination notice.\n\nRemember a leases works both ways, how would you fell if the landlord / manager wanted you out soon after you moved in?
