We got a new landloard recently who assumed the previous lease, however i was under the impression that he would need to draw a new one with his name? Is this true or no? Also is the dog (not allowed on the lease) and the drugs enough to break the lease? I have 4 months rent left on the property according to the old lease.

Send the new landlord a letter stating that since your suitemate is involved in illegal activities, and the landlord has done nothing about it, you consider the lease void. Have a copy of the letter registered at the local Recorder's Office.

1. Who's on the lease? You, roomie, or both?
2. Landlord bought the property with the existing lease, no new lease needs to be drawn. There is no "old lease," it's current.
3. You are in a bad position here if your name is on the lease. You're on the hook for rent even if you're not there.
4. Suggest you go to the landlord and explain that your roommate is in violation of the "no pets" provision and that you have concerns about illegal drugs. Perhaps the landlord will evict the roommate. You can't just say that you're off the hook because of roomie's criminal activity. It doesn't work that way.

When property is changing hands the old landlord simply has to execute an assignment of lease in favour of the new landlord.
The dog and drugs are enough for you to leave, but if you are sued by the landlord, you will have to go after your roommate to recoup your costs. You cannot break the lease with the landlord, as it is your roommate who has violated the conditions of the lease, not the landlord.

The landlord can and in most cases must legally continue to honor existing leases in the case of an ownership transfer, at least until they are up. If the lease prohibits dogs, then yes you can inform the landlord he may agree to void it. As far as the illegal drugs are concerned, get a lawyer before you use that as means to get out of the lease.

For your own safety, GET OUT! As long as you stay in that apartment with your roommate you are just as liable under the law for any infractions and violations that he is. You will go to the penitentiary right along side of him. You will also lose your life if he goes out there and crosses someone. You will die if people even think that there might be money or drugs in your place. Screw the darn lease! GET THE HECK OUT! Even if he decides to leave and let you have the place, still get out. By now his cronies know where he lives and will come looking for him and find you there. Your roommate can buy your lease from you. He has started to take liberties with your health and safety. Watch your back and scram! If you must stay there then, double up on your payments. Borrow the money from your folks if you have to. And ONLY your folks! Good luck. You sound like a nice person and I wouldn't want to later find out that you are knocking boots with Bubba or worse yet, read about finding your body all cut up and disemboweled and his dog chewing on you. Take care of yourself.

You must send your landlord a notice about the dog and / or the drugs that if the landlord doesn't fix it you will move out....give him a week to respond...next if he has not fixed it..send him a 30 day notice and if it is not fixed by then you may possibly move with no penalty...BUT check with a lawyer in your area as laws and regulations change from state to state
Next the lease...When a landlord buys a building the old leases carry over. He may at his choice offer new ones to the tenants, whom may or may not at their choice accept it. Not accepting it is penalty free....BUT...the landlord offering a new lease at the end of the current is at his discreation...so....Normally what I have seen is the owners let the old llease run.its just to much trouble.making new at the purchase time.

Why are you remaining loyal to a person who has no respect for the law, civil agreements, and friendship? Next time the drugs come into the apartment report it to the landlord and the police. Your roommate will have a new place in town and the landlord will get in trouble if he allows illegal activity on his property. If he gives you a hard time, shoot him in the head. End of problem for you.

unlawful immigration reasons many issues that's for effective. this is an straight forward actuality.

Contributing to the tax base and so on. that ought to leave 7 million interest vacancies. would our u . s . a . have the skill to deal with that many leaving the artwork tension? in all probability not. would individuals step into those jobs for the pay presented? in all probability not. companies final analysis is earnings. would they advance wages to get individuals to artwork those jobs? in all probability not. extra companies would start to outsource. subsequently leaving many individuals out of jobs that now carry jobs. Our entire u . s . a . would cave in and the super melancholy would look as though a cakewalk. As i've got stated unlawful immigration is misguided and needs to end. yet we additionally could be functional on deporting as you're saying 20 million human beings. have confidence me...it is going to not take place for incredibly some motives. So we could flow forward and think of of functional procedures to handle the area to hand and additionally insure the unlawful subject is stemmed interior the destiny. extra effective border secure practices and visa structures could be dealt with first and finest so the area would not gradually worsen. as quickly as the flow is stopped we are able to then artwork on what to do with those already right here.

You probably can, bring proof to your landlord and state the reasons why you need to break your lease.
