Is there a law that says a landlord can't hold you to your lease if you find a house to buy?

Does your lease mention anything about what happens if you want to move out early? In all likelihood, your best bet is to simply go to the landlord and tell them what your situation is. If you have been a good tenant, and if the rental market in the area is thriving, they may not have a problem letting you break the lease. While the first question may appear to be "what will the law let me do?" the better first question is actually "do you mind if I move out?" Remember, if you have a lease, the landlord probably cannot raise the rent, but if you move out, he can raise it for the next tenant.

read your contract, since you are obviously renting the space where your home sits then there must be a contract you signed, and if it states that no additional people are permitted to live in the domicile then that is how it is, you can't just go against something you have signed. However, if it is not mentioned, then they have no right to do anything to you. It's time to do some reading.

There are no laws.  Rental property is market driven, the only law is the law of supply and demand.  They can charge whatever the market will bear, and you can choose to rent it or not.

Depends on what state you are in!  You can get into some real messes (and so can your landlord) if you don't have a lease!  Hope you didn't do a deposit/first and last!!

Yes, it is binding.  If you try to evict them, and they show the judge a valid lease document, they will not be evicted, regardless of who owns the property now, so long as the person who signed it had the authority to enter into the lease when it was signed.\n\nA lease cannot be unilaterally cancelled by either party.  Just as the tenant moving into another property doesn't cancel the lease, the landlord selling does not cancel the lease.\n\nIf you didn't know it was leased when you bought it, then you may have a case for damages against the seller, but you won't  be able to get the tenant out.

there should be a Landlord and Tenant Board in your area that can give you advise and hopefully help arbitrate an agreement.

Try looking at the classifieds for houses for sale that you like. Once you have selected ask the seller if he's willing to do a lease with an option to buy.

Eviction rules and laws vary from state to state.  The landlord must abide by the rules of the lease (if you have one) and the laws of the state in which the building is located.\n\nCheck the Family Court / eviction rules from the department of state site for your state and contact the authorities if you wish to contest the eviction.

Despite the myths, there is no law that allows you out of a lease if you change your mind in three days.  See if they can move you to a larger apartment. Good luck.

speak to the landlord to see if the lease can be modified

Yes.  With most standard leases, you're protected if the property sells.  Still, you should read through your lease agreement thoroughly.  Once your lease term is expired, don't be surprised if the new landlord raises the monthly rent to try to get you to move out.  This is nothing personal, but new owners generally try to get rid of legacy tenants so that they can thoroughly clean, renovate, or remodel the space.

In most States NO. (check your local laws). \n\nMost states state that the landlord can not change the locks on you for a missed payment. She has to go through the "Eviction Process" and can only take your deposit and sue you for the remainder owed. She can not lock you out, sell your belongings, or kick you to the street without going through the legal process.\n\nThe legal process usually gives you 3 months in most states. Of course I'm assuming your late rent isn't that overdue??? But she would need to issue you an Eviction notice weeks in advance of Eviction.\n\nGet legal help.

what your are referring to is what we call a tenancy at sufferance, in other words your lease ran out and you are still living there without having  signed another  lease, now if your land lord did not have papers served on you to vacate after the  lease ended and was only telling you to leave, but,did not go about any proper eviction process then you have what is called in real estate a adverse possession and it will be hard for the land lord to prove that you were not paying your rent because you have been there at such an extended time after a legal contract expired. one would wonder why he let you live there that long without collecting rent, i would say he would loose in court, if it is his word against your word only.

The laws vary from state to state. Also some areas have "rent control" laws. These are generally city laws.\n\nIn Oregon a landlord can raise the rent as often as they want - and as much as they want as long as they give you 30 days notice. \n\nOne of the great misconceptions is that if you have a lease you are protected from rent increases - that is not true in all cases.

I can only suggest seeing a lawyer if they do not want to let you out of the lease.  Have you given your landlord some type of documentation from your doctor stating the problem?  Depending on the time left on your lease, if it's not to long, you may be able to work out a deal with the landlord.  Good Luck KG

Yes, if they can find a landlord who will rent to them.  Most won't because the lease won't be binding.  The lease is invalid if signed by a minor.  Which means that the minor can't be held liable for anything (unpaid rent, damages, etc...)

local law might protect the renter by invalidating the contract clause that is not reasonable. check with an attorney specializing in rental law.\n\nanother solution is that you might want to approach the seller of your home to help you to pay the remaining 5 month rent. include that in your purchase contract clearly though.
