No. Your landlord is never required to renew your lease, and doesn't need a reason to not renew. Consequently, your tenancy will end at the end of the lease, and you must leave. A non-renewal is not an eviction, so Covid rules are completely irrelevant.

A landlord can terminate a month-to month tenancy with 15 days notice (the notice must be a valid written notice delivered according to the requirements of the Lease or statute). Termination of a tenancy is not an eviction, so none of the COVID rules, regulations or pronouncements from on high have... View More

You are a month to month tenant, which means that the LL can terminate your lease with 15 days notice. You are not being evicted, so Covid has nothing to do with it. A landlord's notice that your tenancy is not being extended another month is not a document that comes via the court system. Its... View More

No, I don't believe the moratorium is still in effect. Basically, having already given you notice, what the landlord needs to do is file a complaint with the court and schedule a hearing. At or before that hearing, you must deposit the past due rent and other charges with the court. If you... View More

It is not clear what you want to sue them for; your roommate has too much furniture and he installed cameras which you took down already. I don't see how the furniture or the camera would be grounds for a lawsuit, but if the leasing company "offered to let [you] out of the lease if [you]... View More

Yes, your landlord can show the house assuming he gives you reasonable notice. Obviously you can require the visitors to observe measures (wearing of masks, etc.) to protect you from infection.

If you have a lease with the old landlord, the new owner must honor your lease. When your lease expires, you must leave unless the new owner and you enter into a new lease. The owner is not obligated in any way to let you stay 1 minute after your lease expires. It's up to you to find a new... View More

Probably until the end of March, but the new owner must give you notice. Assuming notice is furnished according to the statute, the answer is yes - you can be forced out, Covid or no covid. It doesn't matter if you've been there 15 years or 15 days. Selling the house "as is" has... View More

It depends upon the notice provisions in the original lease (rental agreement), specifically how long of a notice of non-renewal the student/tenant must give. And, of course, this is assuming that the January/February and May notices by the tenant were in writing.

While I can see why you are concerned, as far as I have heard or read about, none of the provisions in the federal government's PPP or stimulus legislation provides tenants any protection from this unique situation. However, since it appears that your landlord is trying hard to sell the house... View More

The property may be tied up in probate or the personal representative of the estate may be waiting for you to vacate to fix the property up to sell, but that does not mean you cannot be evicted once the lease expires. If an eviction action is filed against you, you will have a trouble finding any... View More

Yes, but you must give her proper notice. You should probably consult with a lawyer to make certain things are done correctly. Screw this up, and you could be looking at paying her attorney's fees as well as not being able to get rid of her. If you are in the business of renting property,... View More

Unless you have a current written lease your landlord can increase the rent at any time. They may no be able to evict you because of the Covid-19 situation; however, Covid-19 does not prevent rent increases.

Yes, a landlord can charge late fees. Covid restrictions on the landlord do not prevent late fees; you are expected to pay your rent on time.

1. No, you are no longer entitled to a 30 day notice because ALL the terms in your written lease expired in 2019 when your lease expired and thus are no longer effective.

2. You have nothing more that a month-to-month tenancy which can be terminated by 15 days notice.

3. Unless... View More

I see several corrections that are needed here:

1. The recent "ban on evictions" expired August 31.

2. Landlords can get rid of tenants at the end of a lease term for any reason.

3. Doing so is not called an "eviction."

4. It is called... View More

Unless your lease requires him to provide AC, he is not required to fix your AC when it goes out. You have no right to fix things on your own without his written permission and then expect to be reimbursed. Same thing with the lawn. If the lease requires you to maintain the lawn, you have no reason... View More

Unfortunately, the temporary anti-eviction protections given to residential tenants in the CARES Act have expired, leaving tenants such as yourself without any protection from eviction. So you have four more days in which to file your answer to the notice, after which time (but not immediately)... View More

Covid doesn't give you an excuse for not paying. Suppose you lost business for any other reason - you'd be in the exact same position. You owe rent until your lease is expired or (if you have vacated the space and returned possession to the landlord) he finds a new tenant.

If you... View More

Whatever oral agreement you had with the tenant is not enforceable--because everything dealing with land and real property must be in writing and signed by both parties.

Having said that, before you attempt to convince this tenant that she must move out (whenever) IMO you would do well to... View More
