Q: Can a landlord who you no longer rent from force you to pay rent to them claiming there was a lease when there wasnt
The landlord only had us sign a lease to trailer 8 two years ago. She moved us from there to a different trailer and said we would have to sign a new lease and we never did. We did however give her a thirty day notice we were moving and she claims we did not. Can she force us to pay for the trailer rent if we do not live there and did not have a lease to that trailer.
A: It sounds like there was an original lease. We would have to read the terms of the lease to understand if you are liable for the lease. Just because you moved to a different trailer, it appears that you were still on the landlord's property, and you were living in the same landlord's trailer. Did you give her 30 days in writing? Based on the information provided, it doesn't sound that you are off the hook.
