I asked this question myself when I hired a Property Management Co. to rent out a house of mine. I thought a lease would be best for me when renting my home out. I ended up renting month to month because the management Co. explained that although you have a signed lease the owner has to show do diligence in leasing/renting out the property if the tenant leaves early. They had said a judge would look for the owner to perform before any judgement againt the tenant for failure to meet conditions of lease.\n      I would recommned you discuss with whomever you signed the lease with (if you haven't) and see if you can end the terms amicably. Also, consult with a real estate attorney so you can be well versed in your rights if you can not solve this matter to the satisfaction of both parties.

That sounds mighty high. Then again if you pay your rent later than 15 days and you are on a lease you are technically in breach of the lease agreement.

I used to be a property manager and I too would sent out 3 day notices, but until a court has released eviction papers, they can't seize your property, you should be calling them up and letting them know when you plan to pay.  This is normally accepted so long as it's not happening constantly.  Good luck.

The first website here provides you with some good general links. The second website that I have listed here links you to the actual statutes in the State of Nevada. I only skimmed through the statutes, but I did not see anything there that said that the landlord has "x" amount of days to repair things, etc. Double check your lease agreement, it may be stated in there. If not, double check with your local housing commission.

What does your lease say?  If you are at the end of your term, then you start renting "month to month" and the landlord can raise the rent, usually with 30 days notice.  You of course have the option of moving out.  If the rent hike is too high, you might try talking with your landlord first.  It's usually easier to deal with steady, paying tenants than trying to re-rent to a new tenant.  Good luck!

I was stuck in a similar situation once.  Legally, it really depends on the state.  My situation was in California and I got the shaft in the end.  Most rentals won't let you sublet/sublease (you find someone else to take it over while you are still on the lease and you act as middle-man) and there is usually a clause in your agreement that shows the prohibition of sublet/sublease.\n\nBasically, check with the landlord.  He/she might be understanding, but realize that they don't have to be.  There may be a clause that allows you to exit out for a large fee (usually equivelant of one to two months rent).  If you can't sublease, the landlord isn't willing to work with you, and there isn't an early out clause, you are legally bound to the lease until its end.  That's why it's a contract that you've legally signed.\n\nDon't mean to sound harsh.  I'm sympathetic to your situation.  However, there are legalities involved and the landlord should not be punished for problems that aren't theirs.

there is no legal justification of the three FREE months' stay that she is insisting on - here in the philippines or anywhere else in earth - unless you have it on your contract.  but assuming that there is no mention of this in your contract, there is no legal basis for this.  there is, however, a special law in the Civil Code and in the Rental Reform Act of 2002 (RA 9161) which states that you have to inform your tenant of your intention to terminate lease at least three months before the intended date.  maybe that is what she is quoting, only she got it all wrong.  if your contract is legal and not yet expired, this special law may not be followed, depending on what you can amicably settle on a primary hearing (that is, contract first before special laws - supplementary in these cases).\n\nAs for her not being able to pay five months of rent, this is a different story.  after the third consecutive month of her inability to pay the rent, you have the right to judicial ejectment, wherein after 5 days of notice (demand letters, written notices signed by both parties), you have the right to file for unlawful detainer and have your tenant ejected immediately.  this is your right that is given by the civil code.\n\nwhat you can do is to consult a legal professional (civil lawyer) and file for a complaint on the arbitration committee of your community or town.  if you do not reach an amicable settlement, it is your right to file for action against your tenant.

I work in the management office of a large skyscraper in downtown Houston, Texas. Only a very small percentage of our tenants are closed for July 3rd. I think it is pretty commonplace to have to work that day! But on the upside---I'll be taking a day's vacation! Maybe you could try that too! :)

The information you need should be in the lease itself. There should be an early termination section. You will most likely have to pay a fee.\n\nI ended my lease early on my apartment last year and had to pay two months' rent. ($1600--ouch!) The contract said I should have to pay three months' rent, but I was able to persuade the landlord to reduce the payment as I was leaving to work at a summer camp for kids in-crisis. If you have a good reason for breaking lease, write a letter requesting they reduce the penalty. The worst they can do is say no.\n\nGood luck with it!

First, secure your job. Federal law requires that your employer keep your job if you fall ill--Family Medical Leave Act or FMLA says you get 12 weeks of leave--I'm sure you've used some portion of that leave with your paid sick leave. When you are better, it will be good to still have your job.  Second--I would do an internet search of government grants on google.com or in your state or federal government. Last--explain to your landlord your situation. They don't want to loose their money, so probably they would rather work out an agreement with you rather than loose their rent money (for example, you could try to work out an agreement to not pay rent for 2 months and pay slightly higher rent to make up over some period of time). I had a situation where my college roomate bailed and stuck me with a lease I couldn't afford. The apartment landlord worked out the agreement with me. It would also be a good idea to talk to people who you may owe money to (i.e. credit card companies) to explain your situation so that your credit rating isn't hurt during this trying time. \n\nGood luck and get better!

The first thing you should do to cover your ass, is request a copy of the lease agreement and any lease renewals that you have have signed. The landlord is required to be able to provide at least their copies which were supposed to have been certified These contracts will give detailed instuctions as to how many days prior written notice is required upon your moving and terminating your residence. Usually at least 30-45 days "written" notice is required so be sure to hand deliver or send by certified mail to your landlord(once again to C.Y.A.).\nAlso, on your initial lease agreement there should be something noted with regard to condition of the apartment before you moved in. Usually if you'll just make sure that all debris is cleared for the unit, vacuum, clean bathrooms pretty well, repair any substantial nail holes especially if there are more than 4 per any wall. Bleach kintchen sinks and counters and clean all cooking areas removing as much baked on crud as possible.\nAnd one final C.Y.A. move is to set a specific time and day to do a final walk through with your landlord far enough before your official move-out date so that anything she indicates to be sub-par and subject to charging you for, can be taken care of before your final walk through which should be scheduled at the time of the pre-move walk through.\nHpoe this helps!!! Good luck!

Signing a lease a month or more in advance really isn't unusual.  If it were me, I would talk to this guy and see if he couldn't be flexible about how much of the deposit you put down.  In my experience, rental companies have required me to sign the lease as soon as I have made my decision and put down half of the deposit, but I have had until the move-in day to pay the rest of the deposit & first month's rent.  Really, it's up to the landlord or rental company, but he may be willing to work with you.  Especially because if you do sign the lease now, it's still a legal contract that says that you are obligated to pay him, even if you're not paying immediately.  It's worth a shot!

In 30 days you run the risk of foricble evicture from the Sherrif's Office.\n\nThe landlord may also be able to seize all of your personal items and sell them for any moneys owed in lease costs.\n\nDon't mess around.

Landlord-tenant legislation in the US is governed by state law.  You need to post the state and country that you are talking about because they are all different.  \n\nIF YOU ARE ON A LONG-TERM LEASE:\nIn most states, the landlord is permitted to charge you for the entire lease period, except if the lanlord or an agent of the landlord accepts your move-out notice, which it appears that he did, because he didn't contact you that it was rejected, he advertisted it as available on 12/15, and he accepted your keys.  So, in that case you should be of the hook on the date mentioned in the notice.\n\nIF YOU ARE ON MONTH-TO-MONTH:\nIf you are on a month-to-month lease, most leases&#92;state laws say that that you are required to give at least 20 days written notice prior to the beginning of the next calendar month or the lease renews itself. \n\nSo technically by giving your notice on 11/16 you are freeing yourself from a month-to-month lease as of 1/1.  However if your notice said you would remain 60 days, so the landlord could hold you liable for payment up until 1/15.  If he had your keys on 11/23 and you were on a month to month, I think it's kind of jerky to charge you from 1/1 to 1/15.  \n\nI don't see any way the landlord could collect from you for the period of 1/16-1/31 unless they argue that your notice was improper, or that they did not accept your notice, in which case they should have sent you a letter saying so, shouldn't have taken your keys, and shouldn't have placed an ad in the paper saying that it would be available on 12/15.  \n\nIn short, I think that you would have a tough time PROVING you're not responsible for 1/1 to 1/15, but if you were on a month to month lease you should write a very nice letter asking them not to charge you for this because you moved out in november.\n\nIf they tried to make you pay for 1/15-1/30 you are on pretty solid ground.  They would have a hard time getting a judge to agree you are liable for 1/15-1/30, due to accepting your notice and keys, and the ad in the paper.  So by not paying that I think that the only thing you risk is a bad rental history.\n\nI don't know of any requirement in any state that says the landlord has to advertise or make the apartment available.\n\nPS:  You must verify this with a lawyer before you act on this answer, which is not legal advice.
