I'm a subtenant living in a house with my roommate. The lease is under my roommate's name and she is moving out next month when the lease ends. Do I have the right to renew the lease or continue to stay if the landlord refuses to renew the lease? Actually the landlord had sent the lease to me two months ago, I signed and faxed back. Now she refuses to sign because of two reasons:
1. I asked her to address the repair issues but she refused (one bedroom door can not be closed, two windows can not stay open and she asked us to use two bars to hold the window, etc);
2. She lives away from here. She said she will not sign the lease untill she received security deposit first. But I think I should see her signature on the lease before I send money to her.
She has started looking for new tenant, if I continue to stay and pay rent till I find another place, can she evict me legally?
Thanks,
