Q: Husband and wife leased house which is not finished. Getting divorced What happens to current lease?
Acquired house during marriage. Leased it out to a gentleman, and the valid lease agreement does not expire until September. Will divorce nullify the lease to this gentleman to allow sale of house?
A: The divorce between the couple has no effect on the lease. That is a separate issue altogether. The best thing to do is to contact the party who signed the lease and ask what their intentions are regarding the house or you can wait and see if someone will remain in the house. You can then make your decisions accordingly.
