I have to go to court 2 morrow 4 back rent 4 my grandfather apartment and i want to add my name 2 his lease?

Question

i also want to pay the back rent does any one have a ideal of what is going to happen

Answer 1

Yes, you will be asked to negotiate with a Mediator and the Landlord before you go in front of the judge. You might be able to resolve all your issues at that time. Don't be afraid. You can handle this just fine. Good luck.

This is usually how they handle civil matters with respect to money.

Answer 2

It's up to the landlord to decide whether to add you to the lease. If your credit is good and you are assuming responsibility for the rent, he might allow it. If the landlord just wants to get your grandfather out of the apartment, you might be out of luck as far as the lease goes, but he's certain to accept the back rent.

Answer 3

I wouldn't put my name on the lease as it will effect your credit rating adversely. It's like a joint checking account - the money is legally boths. Either person can withdraw the whole amount without the knowledge or permission of the other.

Most attorneys don't charge a fee for a consultation. Or ask a banker. Or call the credit bureaus:
Experian 888-397-3742
Equifax 800-685-1111
Transunion 800-888-4213

Answer 4

be prepared. have pay stubs, references and try to pay the next couple of months rent as well. the land lord will be happy to take your money and may also be glad to see that someone can pay the rent on time. be ready for a rent increase as well. with an added name to the lease some lanlords charge by the person. don't worry.

Answer 5

Piece of cake. Just tell them what you told us and you should have no problem.

Answer 6

If your gonna pay everything,there will be no problem.
