The lease is void if the property was sold,because the contract was written with the old landlord not the new one.

You can terminate it.  The lease is over, and you give proper notification.

Contract liens are totally legal and are probably a part of the generic lease your friend signed. The landlord has the right to remove enough property to cover the amount owed.  But that is based on the fair market resale value, not the replacement value. If your friend's TV cost $600 when he bought it 5 years ago, it's not worth $600 now; fair market value would be less than $100.  It takes a LOT of personal property to equal $2000 resale value.  The good news is if your friend pays what he owes, he can have his stuff back.

Rider A could be anything, a pet deposit, limit to number of tenants, anything, it is merely a modification of the lease agreement. Don't sign anything with missing pages., And he should not be too busy to get you a compete copy of the lease. He wants your money, he should be responsive like any other enterprise.

You can't; you're stuck. Your signature on the lease is an agreement to pay the rent along with the other people who signed, regardless of what your agreement was with the other three. The best you could do is to sue them for the money that you have to pay. Even then, it's not likely that you'll get it all back; you will most likely only get them to pay 75% and you get stuck with 25%. Your agreement that you will not be financially responsible for the apartment is not likely to be upheld in court as this was an agreement to defraud your landlord and courts never uphold illegal or fraudulent contracts.\nChalk this up as an expensive lesson and be careful what you sign in the future.

If you leave before your lease is up they can make you pay until the end of the lease date or settle for some lease-breakage fee.  You may be able to negotiate to pay until they find someone to take over your lease.\n\nIf they sell the property then you'd have to pay the new owners as of the date of the sale.

In most cases the only way for a seller to get out of a contract is due to non-preformance on behalf of the buyer.  Otherwise, mutual agreement would be needed to cancel the sale.\n\nEthical solutions:\n1) Sell to them unless they don't perform\n2) Tell them you reconsidered, and if they don't want to let you off the hook, offer to buy their cancellation\n\nLess than ethical solution:\n1) Falsify disclosure items (i.e. the sewer pipes drain to the backyard, previous owner was murdered in the bedroom by an assailant that was never caught, roof is leaking, etc)

If your signed original lease says that you could give notice and cancel the lease before the expiration date, and if you complied with that provision, it will be okay. If the original lease does not mention canceling the lease, I don't think you can.

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.

PRESUMIMG THE LEASE IS AN APARTMENT;\nIt comes down to the "fine print" in your lease. What did you sign up for? A year? Sometimes you can get out of it just by paying for the advertising until the apartment is rerented, so it's no money out of the landlord's pocket. But remind the landlord, as long as you are paying the rent, even though you don't live there they can't accept rent money from anyone else and the apartment must remain unoccupied. (they can't collect "double rent" for the same apartment)

I don't believe you can.  Either way you are liable for the rent till the end of the contract or get someone to sublet your place, if it is allowed.\nYour company might be willing to pay for this if they are the ones asking you to move.  Most do.\nRead what your rental contract says.  It should all be there.

Recently sold my No. VA condo.  There was much paperwork but nothing that related to an occupancy lapse. It really does not make sense - you have paid for the property and are entitled to occupy it.  I would not buy a property from someone who denied me occupancy after settlement.  Of course there may be a rent back from new owner to the old owner, but this is discussed, agreed upon and incorporated into the Purchase Contract well before settlement. Call a Realtor in the area you are interested in - they are knowledgable (by law/license) and usually very eager to talk.

If you have already signed the lease you can't get out of it without penalty.  Breaking a lease usually means you have to pay the rent for all the months included in the lease.  Now, if you are buying a home or are transfered by your job, usually they will charge you at least one month's rent.  Good luck with that.

You must first report it to the landlord and they will have the problem removed within a certain amount of time.\n\nIf they don't then you will be able to.\n\nIf you really want to leave anyway, report it in writing so you can eventually get a lawyer and get out of the lease with their help. Everything needs to be done in writing or there is no proof for the court to believe you over the landlord.

Get another roommate as fast as you can and sue the deadbeat in small claims.  The landlord will hold you responsible for the entirety of the lease.  The landlord is not required to go after the other guy for half, he can go after you for all of it.  I am sorry this happened to you.  I hope you can get another person to pick up half of the rent.  \n\nAlso, do talk to the landlord, see if offering to spiff the place up, and run ads at your expense, if you find a new tenant willing to sign a new lease with them, will they let you out of the lease.  \n\ngood luck!

If it does not state that those were included specifically IN THE LEASE, then it is very unlikely that you can do anything at all. I suggest you read your lease carefully and, if after reading it you still have reason to believe you should have had both items, I suggest you speak to a lawyer. There may be nothing you can do.
