Can I terminate my tenancy contract?
I signed the contract for 12 months but want to move out earlier.I spoke to landlord/agency, they said I can find somebody on my place to resign the contract and then I will be entitled to claim back my deposit. I live there already 8.5 month.I gave them notice 1 month which means somebody should move in for 2.5 month.After that new person will be asked to sign new contract for 6 months minimum and they cannot guarantee the price will be the same. When I was moving in I had beautiful view from my flat and there was entry phone in the building. After 3 weeks they started to build another building which means I have builders working all day. Or the entry phone, each time when somebody visits me or I order a pizza I have to answer the entry phone and I can open only first doors by pressing button. Then to go thru second I have to go down with the lift and let them in (takes 5m). This is just not something what I was signing contract for. Can I terminate it and get back deposit?
Does a prorated first month count toward your lease?
This is standard operating procedure for me, that the partial first month doesn't count. Now I normally do at least 1 year leases and rarely do they start on the 2nd or that early in the month but I don't count the prorated part towards the lease period either - more for ease of filling the lease out than anything else. If you don't like it you can always say you want the lease to run 6 months from Dec 2 or you won't sign.
Lease expired 2 years ago, now month to month. What's my assumed responsibly as a tenant?
I live in Florida. I've been renting this house for 3 years now and only signed a 1 years lease. I travel for work and occasionally (3x) am a few days late paying rent THIS year. The owner had his mom running the property management and I would call her to let her know in the event. Her response was always, no problem when will you have it? She has since retired and the new lady has now sent me a number of late fees to a sum of 250 dollars, some are compounded late fees, ie over 90 days and increased fee. I haven't received any notification to these prior to now. With the holidays coming up, I just don't have it. Being I'm month to month with no signed contract am I bound to pay this? Thanks in advance. J

I signed a 12 month lease but the next day requested to switch a 6 month and was told no. This was in January, but I want to know what my options are?
A tenant is free to try to persuade a landlord to alter the terms of a lease agreement (such as reducing the term from 12 to six months).However, the tenant has no legal right to demand that the landlord agree to such a change.If you can provide a replacement tenant, then you may be able to achieve a mutually satisfactory outcome.If you just walk away after six months, then you can expect to lose your security deposit, and you may have additional liability to the landlord depending on how long it takes to find a replacement tenant and the amount of the rent that the replacement tenant pays.
My landlord just informed me he’s terminating my lease because he’s selling the place he gave me 30 days to move, Can I legally stay longer while looking for a new place?
My landlord just informed me he’s terminating my lease because he’s selling the place he gave me 30 days to move, Can I legally stay longer while looking for a new place?No. You can’t legally stay longer because you’re looking for a new place.But you can legally stay longer because you’ve got a valid lease.If you’re now on a month-to-month lease, yes, he can give you 30 days. Or—read your lease and you may be entitled to more. Sometimes a lease requires that notice be provided before the first of the month in order for the lease to end on the last day of the month. Otherwise, you can get longer.Example: You’re given 30 days’ notice on April 10. That could mean you have to be out by May 10. But if the lease requires notice be given prior to the first of the month for it to be effective the next month, your landlord would have had to notify you by March 31 to get you out by April 30. Notifying you on April 10 is the same as notifying you on April 30. That would give you until May 31. Again, please, please, please read your lease.However, let’s suppose you’re not on a month-to-month lease. Suppose you signed the lease January 1 and it runs through December 31. In that case, the place is yours until December 31. (Unless your lease specifically says that the lease can be terminated if he sells the property.) Otherwise, the new buyer will have you as the tenant until the expiration of the lease. And that does happen. The lease keeps running, even though the property has a new owner.For more information, check with a lawyer.
How much will I have to pay to break my lease 6 months early?
always negotiation with your landlord, who knows what's going to happen? First of all, when you sign the lease, does it include if you want to terminate the lease early how much you should pay for it? In some case, the landlord will charge 1 months rent to terminate the lease, but it is highly depending on your rental contract. Your other choice would be sub-lease your house. Have someone else take over your current contract, in this case, you don't need to pay any early termination fee. But, you must making sure the landlord accept the sub-leasing.
