my boyfriend is in a 6 month lease and wants to move in with me my only concern is how do we break the lease w

Question

landlord is about to evict him schould we let him evict or tell him that hell leave?

Answer 1

Unless he can get someone to sub-lease, he WILL be responsible for paying the remaining six months of rent.

Answer 2

Bad news, sorry to say. Why is he being evicted first of all and why is he moving in with you? Too save money of course and perhaps be less responsible all while having free liberties and this could pertain to the both of you in that regard. However, you have not taken your responsibilities lighttly and are not being evicted.

Your boyfriend should not be getting evicted and running to you, if this is the case. Should it not be the case and he does move in with you, the money, he/you guys,(for it is now your baggage as well), are now saving should go to cleaning up his previous rental agreement. When the time comes that you will want him out and you will, when he cannot rent a place because of a past eviction, you allow him to stay longer and longer until you hate him. So think about it. I would do what I can to fix his original rental agreement then move into together and then you will know for sure he wants to be with you and not just looking to save money and basically have your liberties.

Answer 3

First off, do you want someone in your house that can't pay rent?

Second issue: CHECK HIS LEASE. Even if he leaves his place voluntarily, the landlord can still file eviction papers to make sure he doesn't change his mind and come back to take ownership of the place. He needs to put it in writing that he's giving up the apartment - signed by him and dated, hand over the key, take pictures of the cleaned up and empty apartment he's leaving behind, and see in the same letter if he can politely work with the landlord to see if some kind of payment installment plan can be worked out. In the meantime, see if the security deposit he paid when he moved in can help cover some of the costs but be prepared to ask for real hard receipts (not scribbled out ones on no company letterhead/paper) if the LL decides to deduct from the security for "more than the usual wear and tear". Good luck. www.tenant.net

Answer 4

You usually have to pay to break the lease. The terms and conditions should be in his lease paperwork.

If the landlord wants to evict him, he should have been told in writing and given a deadline. Why is he being evicted? Did he stop paying rent? If you don't pay rent and don't pay the terms to break the lease, this landlord can TAKE HIM TO COURT and force him to pay.

please reconsider. And you two can't wait 6 short months for him to move into your place? Don't be stupid.

Answer 5

if he breaks the lease he'll owe a lot of money to the landlord and that will show on his credit if not paid. then he'll have a hard time if he ever has to get a place in his name again. don't let him get evicted that's even worse.

Answer 6

Sometimes when you break a lease, the landlord will hold you responsible for each months rent for the remainder of the lease or until they rent it out to someone else.

Answer 7

If the landlord is evicting him, he should just leave and save the landlord the headache. Also, your boyfriend is a loser and you should seriously reconsider moving in with such a guy who takes his responsibilities so lightly--he wants to move in with you so he screws over his landlord? Not a good guy, and not anybody you want raising your kids.

Answer 8

You both need to date for another six months until his lease is up and then if you're still interested, he can move in with you.

that's the right thing to do. if he gets evicted you're both deadbeats.

Answer 9

Just the fact that he's being evicted should throw up a BIG red flag. You don't need that kind of crap.

Answer 10

I wouldn't do a thing, until that lease runs out.
