rental agreements?

Question

my roomate and I were undecided wether to rent a third floor apartment or first floor. Third floor was 850. and first was 1000. per month we thought we'd take the cheaper and told the landlord but changed our mind due to the fact that the third floor had total white carpet (where not the most neatness teens). The landlord agreed to the change after we had signed a lease for the third floor. Landlord told us she would make up a new contract for us to sign for the first floor unit,this was in Sept. we have asked her consistanly to send us the contract but have not received one. The third floor is rented so I am assuming the lease we signed is no longer active. I am presently in College and thinking about transfering to a different city after this quarter (mid december). What are my obligations to this apartment if I have not yet received a lease to sign for the first floor unit Please Help I'm not sure what to do

We did get the first floor apt. but what I basically need to know is if I am liable for anything since the landlord did not send me a lease to sign. It would have been for a year lease and I want out by mid Dec

This is basically a duplex and each unit has a different address. We paid a deposit and first month rent for Sept. also paid second month rent for October. Just wondering if I give the landlord a 30 day notice will I have to be responsible for a full year if I never received a lease (which she said she would write up a new one for that unit).

Answer 1

Your first lease in null and void when your landlord re-rented the apartment on the 3rd floor. Since you do not have a new lease you are legally a month to month tenant (NOT 30 DAYS). To leave the apartment without legal obligation all you have to do is give the landlord one months notice. If you want to move in mid December then you need to notify your landlord NO LATER than November 30th. that you will be leaving at the end of December. You will be responsable for the entire month of December whether you are there the entire month or not. All of the aforementioned is true, however, it would be better if you approach your landlord asap and tell her of your situation. This way she has plenty of notice to try to rent the apartment again. Of course, if you move out and nobody moves in, your current roommate, if she stays, will be responsable for the entire rent.

Answer 2

This could be a sticky situation...they're definitely going to argue with you. Depending on what the lease said you may have signed a lease for an apartment in the complex rather than for a specific apartment. Have you been billed or made any payments? If the lease only obligates you to a specific apartment and you haven't signed any type of lease addendum for another one, you should be able to argue your way out of any obligation based on the fact they rented your apartment out. However, if you've made any payments, that could lock you into the lease because that could establish obligation (you wouldn't pay for an apartment you don't want or live in). Hopefully worst case the only thing you'd have to pay an early cancellation fee of a few hundred dollars. No matter what make sure you that when you resolve the issue you get something in writing.

My hire starts with a fact that tells you that a hire is a binding contract and which you may take it on your lawyer in case you have any questions approximately what you're signing. if your state says you are able to cancel a freelance, then you definately could locate that out. each state is diverse. supply an lawyer a decision or supply your landlord to be a decision and ask if he will amend the contract. which will in all risk matter on what you want to alter. you'll be careful what you sign and understand the implications yet then i think of you have in simple terms found out that. sturdy good fortune. i might call my landlord first on condition that that could be greater inexpensive.

Answer 4

You only have an agreement with her on the first apartment that you were going to rent. She may have rented the other one, while you made up your mind. It is usually a "first come, first served" kind of thing with apartments. They have the right to rent to whom they want to. I think you need to look elsewhere. Sorry!
