early ending agreement for fixed term lease?

Question

i and my friend had leased a house for fixed term of 3 yrs and after 1 year we decided to move out from the house and we discussed the matter with our landlord and landlord agreed to let us move out from house and he gave us a paper mentioning terms and condition like : we will pay rent till so and so date, we will show the place to new tenents etc & we & landlord signed the paper & landlord got new tenant before we left the place and the new lease was signed.
but due to some reason the new tenant was not able to move in the house & cancelled the lease, now the landlord has given us eviction notice, so can any 1 advise me that can landlord give us eviction notice : even if he got a new tenant & we moved out of the premises as agreed with landlord
& can landlord take any legal action on old tenant when the new lease has been signed and the landlord got new tenent

Answer 1

Once the new lease was signed, your obligation to the landlord ended. Any claim that the landlord now has is with the tenant who backed out of the lease.

An eviction notice is meaningless, since you've already moved out of the house. If you received a summons you'll need to respond to that. Providing proof to the court that you've already vacated the premises should stop that cold.

Answer 2

What you likely received wasn't an eviction notice, but a notice of lease termination which is legally necessary for the landlord to keep your security deposit. Beyond the security deposit, the landlord can not collect any more money from you after the new lease, with the new tenant, was signed.

Answer 3

nope your deal was done....he needs to go after the guy thats signed and didnt move in........

Answer 4

take that to your housing athority.
