Wouldn't it automatically be month to month unless new property management gets you to sign a new lease when they take over?

No. The new company takes over the property subject to the existing leases. The leases can be terminated by either party as provided for in the written lease.

How long do we have before we have to move? We are a family of 5, it will be difficult to find housing and be able to move in within this time restraint.

Lease is in my name and I'm not working to stay home with the baby, I want to get out of the situation but for him to only have contact for our children. I don't want him to serve jail time because of our children

The short answer is that it will depend on your lease agreement. Many lease agreements contain provisions regarding maintenance and repairs that outline the responsibilities of each party. Often, these only require that the landlord be responsible for timely fixing written maintenance requests.... View More

I pay the majority of my bills in cash, so her name ended up on the lease and utility bills. I have paid steady rent for over a year. She’s telling me to out so her close friend can live with her instead and has given me 60 days to do so, not 90.

The answer to your question depends upon the exact details, such as who do you pay your rent to? The master landlord? Or to your roommate? If to the roommate, then she may well be your landlord (likely in violation of her lease unless it is with her landlord's knowledge and permission). If... View More

No. The landlord should provide you with a copy of the signed lease. Unless there is some provision in the lease that allows him to charge a fee for modifications to the lease, the fee would not be appropriate. Also, if it is not in the lease, it was not agreed to prior to the modification, so it... View More

Yes, late fees are allowed to be charged and deducted from the security deposit.

There was a fire. The insurance company deemed it negliance. The landlord wants me to still pay $500 for the deductible. Do I need to pay a deductible if the insurance is not going to pay. Can I offer to fix the damage and not pay $ 500 because it was not $500 worth of damage?
