When does a lease technically begin? When signed or when taken over/moved in?

Sometimes there is different date written on the lease that says when you specifically took ownership but usually its when signed. Check the lease or ask. There should be a specific date.

Leasing is long term, and has a contract.  Renting is short term, and sometimes has a contract, and sometimes don't.\nOtherwise there is no real difference

Even if there is a clause that states your landlord can raise the rent see if 72 FULL hours has passed. The fourth day can really mean the fourth day but not 72 whole hours. Most states have a buyer's remorse period where any contract signed can be negated within the first 72 hours. Therefore, check the lease. Most standard leases do not allow a rate increase during the lease term. Also since the terminology in the notice is incorrect, that notice is not binding. The notice stated "...since the lease has renewed...". This is not a lease renewal. This is a new lease. As always, please contact an attorney for professional legal advice. This answer depends a lot on state and local law surrounding the apartment.

30 days prior to your lease or rental agreement is over. If you don't pay, you'll get evicted. Just inform your landlord you're moving out unless they can lower your rent. \n\nThis only applies to when your lease or rental agreement is going to expire in 30 days. If you're in a middle of a lease, they cannot raise your rent. E-mail me if you have any questions.\n\nRegards

Just say some thing to the extent of:\n\n\n\n"Date: (Put today's date)\n\nDear Management:\n\nI will be moving out of apartment # (give your apartment number) on (give the date). My forwarding address is: (if you know the address where you will be moving to it is a good idea to include that).\n\nThank You,\n\n(Sign your name)"\n\n\n***** Now the problem I see right now as a property manager is if your lease is up at the end of the month you will not be giving a FULL 30 DAY NOTICE. You will probably be reasponsible until 30 days from the date you have turned in your notice.*****\n\n\nGood Luck

It means the same as immediate occupancy, as soon as you close (if buying) or sign your lease (if rent/lease), you can move right in.

Leasing=eventually you will own the property at the end of the agreement\nrenting=you're paying for the right to live in someone else property\n\nsometimes apartment complexes use the terms interchangeably

I'm assuming that there is a lease involved here...\n\nTypically, in the leases that I've seen OWNERS and their agents have right to enter the property with reasonable notice (typically min 24 hours).\n\nRead the lease, typically this will be under the NOTICE paragraph or ENTRY paragraph or INSPECTION.\n\nIt is not uncommon for an owner to inspect an apartment/unit when a tenant gives notice and again at the lease termination.\n\nSounds to me like you are dealing with an a**.\n\nGood luck, hope this helps.

sorry, you take off and you signed a lease?  you owe.  unless something else is worked out, you or your cosigner may get away from paying for awhile, but if you are taken to court, you will lose.  you sign it, you own it.

Legally the notice is along long as the term of the lease. your lease is month to month, so then you have to give them a month notice. (which is usually considered 30 days) You don't have a contract, so it is based on how often you pay rent. \nThe reverse is also true. If the landlord wants to kick you out because they want the place back, he/she would have to give you a month's notice.

Do you have a lease?  If so your unit number should appear on that lease, which is the unit you are assigned to.  If you are being forced to move your landlord must have you sign a new lease for the new unit.  If your lease is not expired and you are being forced out, take your landlord to court.  However if you are being forced to change units due to damages you have caused, a judge is likely to rule for the landlord.

Good question..I know this will sound stupid, but what is a rent controlled apartment?

Legally, you now have to register as a landlord - this can be done online, and there are fees! Also, any deposit is held by a third party (bureaucracy...) I would reccommend checking up on your tenants regularily (ie every three months or so) as tenants can split up/ find partners who aren't as tidy or respectable as the person to whom you have leased the property. Also, ensure that all names of parties leasing from you are on the lease so that they are all equally resposible for the state of the property when they leave. Short term assured tenancy is the only one whereby the tenant has no rights to stay in the property once the lease has expired, and this means the property needs to be furnished too! Also, ensure that the tenant is aware of his responsibilities regarding tv licence and council tax (in writing, in the lease - it is well worth getting the first lease made up through a solicitor - you can then copy it for consequent leases. Also, always get the tenant to sign an inventory, detailing all items (include curtains, lampshades on all lights, etc - you'd be surprised! and it is a good idea to get them to sign the backs of photos of the property detailing the condition it was in when they leased it...

With regard to the form that you signed:\n\n1)  Was it also signed by the landlord?\n2)  Did it state what the rent would be?\n\nIf it did not contain both of those things then I think you would have an excellent argument in court that it was not legally binding.  This is supported by the fact that the landlord asked you to come in and sign a renewal lease.  If the first form had been a legally binding renewal then you would not need to sign a new lease.\n\nIf I were in your position I would call the landlord on this bluff.  Check your previous lease to see how much notice you have to give the landlord if you don't want to renew the lease.  It may be as little as 30 days or as much as 90 days.  Compare it with your moving plans.  If you haven't signed a renewal lease then by law you become a month-to-month tenant when your old lease expires, at the same terms and conditions.  So if you're moving in 3 months and the old lease requires 90 days notice, give your notice now.\n\nAlso check out http://realestate.findlaw.com/tenant.  You can read about your rights as a tenant.  Then click on the Resources link to get the specific laws for your state.\n\n4/11/06  I just wanted to add a couple of things.  The paper did not have to say it was a contract in order to be a contract.  But I still don't think that you signed a binding agreement.  In order for something to be considered a binding contract concerning land, it must have the names of the parties, the length of the term, the rental amount and the signatures of both parties.  Did the paper that you signed list what the monthly rent would be?  If not, and if you went to the rental office to sign a renewal lease and found out the rent had been increased by $300 per month, you would have had the right to refuse to sign the agreement and you would not have been held responsible.  So it is very important that you describe exactly what was on the form that you signed.

I am a landlady, although in Oregon.  You signed a lease, which is a contract.  That contract is good for the time period specified in the lease.  Unless your boyfriend's mom AND the landlord/leasing company are both agreeable, you are stuck with the terms of the lease.  If they both agree to let you out of the terms of the lease, then they will need to put together a brand new contract in their names only, taking your name completely out of the picture.  As long as your name is on that lease, you are liable to pay - and a lease means that you are liable for money through the end of the lease.  My leases always give a dollar amount by the month, but also an amount that equals the amount for the entire term - if it's a one year lease, an amount equal to the amount that will be paid for that entire year.  In other words, you could be held liable for the balance of that amount if your boyfriend's mother moves out and doesn't pay, even if you're not living there at the time.
