OHIO. A friend of mine who is a male, and 26, and a FTM Transexual (preop) who is 16 are dating, as a gay couple. The 16 year old's father found out about the relationship and is telling them to end it entirely. Nothing sexual or even physical has happened yet. The father is threatening...

I think the point was missed in the previous reply. The fact is that they want to move out early to avoid having to pay a mortgage and rent. Altho, in order to stick it to the landlord they might threaten to stay till the very end if she's being a bitch about it. I think the fact that you...

California. My current rent is $840 a month, it's been month to month since May 2003, I first moved in Nov 2002. Now I have received an offer letter, either sign a 3 month lease for 890 a month, 6 month for 865, or continue month to month at 990 a month. I thought there was a percent per year...

Hmmm..."...after reading the law..." Is that helping them understand the law or showing them how and where to do legal research cuz I'm confused. Maybe it's the breeder to homo translation that's losing me. Don't hate just because we don't have to worry about getting pregnant.

Mack, she states in her post that they are not just renovating but selling off the apts as condos, thus eventually leaving her homeless. Per fair housing's beliefs it sounds like you'd have a strong case as far as the noise and such goes and should be able to get some money for moving, not sure...

It's not spoonfeeding, it's offering experienced advice from people who know. That IS what people come here for after all. And harassment isn't a pretty color on you.

No, have a 3rd party serve it and give you proof of service. (Wow, HG that was hard to say wasn't it)

Last time I checked, you don't sign a verbal agreement. JETX, you basically reiterated everything I said, so that being the case, that would make you an idiot as well. Or maybe even moreso considering that you assume that his lease has a clause in it stating that sublets must be approved, when...

lol "street language". This is an advice site, and telling someone to read the law amounts to making this site pointless. Yes, it's true it will be contained in the pages of their lease, but as I stated, most states and most leases by that measure state that it is up to the discretion of the L...

So let's get this straight, there is an oral agreement for pog to pay 50%, but since it's oral, he can't prove it. But there is an oral agreement for pog to rent the room, but because it's an agreement he has to follow it because it's a L/T relationship. So on the one hand he can't use it to...

I would say that no, you can't break your lease due to his stipulation. However, in most states it is up to the landlord to determine whether you can sublet your apt, this being the case, odds are that you will have to agree to the extra $50 a month in order to have your roommate. This...

couldn't just be helpful could ya? HG. You should speak to your landlord and see if he can allow some sort of payment plan if you can't afford it right away. If you've been his tenant for some time and paid consistently on time, I'm sure he values having you as a tenant.

Yes it is, do you know him? If so, he would really appreciate the advice so he can make an informed decision. Unless maybe you can think of someplace else he could get some advice or maybe freeadvice.com isn't the right forum. Or, oh, I know you could STF up and go away and let someone who...

You are correct, I had the same thing happen to me just recently. The landlord is entitled to any lost money, not the entire amount, then they are collecting double. I would contact the apt manager and explain that you are interested in finding out how long the apt was vacant before they were...

He's just curious as to what steps are necessary so he can decide which course of action would be the best.
