You do not always get good mgmt. When you rent apt. or home,  read your lease  contract and there should be a clause in there where it states what happens if you break your contract or want out of your lease. Most require you to pay 85 % of the rent and may let you out. Some will charge you the whole remainder of the lease till it rents to someone else. Upon move-in you should have filled out a move-in condition report showing all damages that were already there in apt.or house you leased. That way you will not be charged for something you did not do. Most places want an arm and a leg to replace broken (cheap blinds ect..). if you were smart you could go to Walmart and buy a cheap  $5.97 blind and replace it yourself if you did indeed damage it. Many apartments will not replace capets and that is bad. Did you see the apt.or home before you leased it? If not you have a valid complain..never sign a lease till you see what you are leasing. When you give them a work order always keep copy . I take pictures everytime I lease and keep copy too.\nGood Luck !!

I'd just give him the rent if you feel he's ripping you off.  How are you going to know that your electric bill is 20.00 or 200.00?

First, I'm from Pa. S I dont know the intracacies of Cal law.  But from what I've read and know from experience, I would definitely NOT rent to them.  Let me see!  you're looking for an apt, a $1000 one at that, and you dont have the $$ for the deposit?  Believe me, they won't have the $$ for anything else either.  It seems to me they cant afford tit in the first place.  The fact that you took a partial deposit has no bearing on whether to accept them or not.  BTW, did they fill out a rental ap?  I'll bet any references they gave if any are sketchy at best.  CALL to verify employment or where ever the $$ is coming from. If they cant pass the application phase, they cant afford it.  DO NOT RENT TO THEM UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THEY CAN PAY THE RENT.Better yet, tell them that until you receive the full deposit, you HAVE to keep showing the apt.  If they dont move on that, then consider it a excellent sign that they never had the $$ to begin with.\nI just ask me cousin who lives in LA about this.  She's never heard of such a law and they have rented apts in the past.  Tell them to hit the bricks.

In the United States, that would not be considered a sublet, because you do not have an interest in realty.  Rather, your status is as a licensee -- you have a license to enter into a place and to use it for limited purposes.\n\nI hope this is helpful.

When I had my rentals I charged based upon the area, the amount of utilities included plus a few extra dollars that could accumulate incase there was any major fixing up to do. Look in your local paper and base it upon some of the rentals that seem similar to the type you are renting out. Also try contacting a realtor to give you an estimate on the monthly payment to charge.

I know in my town it is.\nThere are furnished apartments, or non furnished as well...\nso you could test living with other people's furniture to save yourselves the trouble of moving stuff.\nFurnished apartments are usually about 1/2 as much more again though (so if an unfurnished was $400/mo., a furnished would usually be $600/mo.).\nI recommend getting the phone numbers of superintendants of big buildings or rows of buildings to ask them about their one-month options, smaller buildings (or single buildings) are usually less open to the idea.\nYou'll probably need to put down a damage deposit, and get parental signatures ~ the building superintendants will want to be sure you're not a couple of apartment-trashing rowdys looking for a place to party for a month.\n\nAll that aside, I'd like to make a recommendation ~ don't move out from home sooner then necessairy.\nI could easily list about 20 people I know who all regret moving away from home as soon as they did. Contrarily, I can only think of 2 who say they should maybe have left sooner.\nIt's a sweet deal living at home and having all (or most of) your money to yourself rather than to bills... and while I'm giving advice, I highly recommend saving at least 1/2 of all the money you do get for later in life. Believe me, you WILL need it.\nOnce you move out, the idea of 'spending cash' becomes laughable for most folks. Getting started on your own (even with friends) in life is way harder than you probably imagine.\nIt was for me.\n\nWhatever you decide to do, I wish you luck!\n~ Apple

How much intrest are you willing to pay?

The best way is to speak to your landlord and explain that you cannot afford the apartment anymore.  Ask if they would allow you out of the balance of the lease.  They may ask you for a payment such as forfeiting your security deposit or a month's rent.  Or, you can offer to try and find another tenant for the apartment.  As for subleasing, read your lease carefully.  Very often subleasing will be prohibited.  But if you speak to the landlord they may allow you to do it.  Just remember that if you sublease you are still responsible for paying the rent if the subtenant fails to pay.

It will probably be a seperate bill. You should ask the landlord.

Well this might rank up as one of your lowest.  Though it counts because we do live here, we will be moving soon so I bet we will pay more soon enough.\n\nWe live in Maine, the rent for a 2- bedroom one bathroom apartment here is $445/ month.

The landlord can ask a tenant to pay for whatever they want.  It's up to YOU if you want to or not.  If you don't, I would suggest looking else where, where it's not included in the lease.

It would depend on how the leases are written.  If there's no one in there, how much electricity can the apartment be using?  Do they leave the lights on all the time?  \n\nIf your lease states that the electricity is divided up among all tenants (which sounds patently unfair to me and I'd never live at a place like that - what if my neighbor likes his apartment like Alaska?), then I'd say it's vague enough that you're probably on the hook.  If your lease states that you are responsible (through the landlord) for YOUR electric use, then no, he or she has no right to charge you for anything other than your apartment.

Unless you are an expert on and have extensive experience in the landlord/tenant laws of your state and town/county, I would not recommend that you do this.\n\nWeek after week, our office sees people who did this in order to save a few bucks, and are now emeshed in a freaking legal or financial nightmare.\n\nFor example, in my county if you rent a condo out, you must inform your tenant in writing in the lease that they are renting a condo and as such their tenancy can be terminated with 60 days notice if the unit is sold.  This is a law that is unique to the county I am in and is not statewide.   Every week or so we get someone in our office who either gave their condo tenant no lease or used a lease from Staples or some free form online when they rented the place and they now want to sell their condo.  The look of disbelief on their faces when they find out that  the earliest they can get their tenant out is  2 & 1/2 YEARS from the day they come into our office and that it is going to cost them big bucks in legal fees because this all-important clause was not included in the lease is priceless. But hey, they saved $75.00!  \n\nDon't cost yourself hundreds or even thousands of dollars tomorrow because you want to save a few bucks today.  Go to a lawyer who specializes (not just does it sometimes) in landlord/tenant and real estate law in your area.  Pay them to draw up a lease that fits your exact situation and does not have any unenforceable clauses in it, and that it conforms to all applicable state and local laws.

If they are charging that, it has to have been written into the rental agreement you signed. If you signed it, you can be charged it.
