What is the name of your state? Kansas
Please help. I am in a situation and don't know how to resolve it without ticking off my landlord. We own a local busines and moved into a new building downtown on a verbal lease. Out first months rent was due Jan. 1st. We have never received an actual lease from our landlord. The last building we were in sold and we were on a month to month lease which we were told was going to end Dec. 31st. So we were desperate for a new place without much time to look. I have asked our new landlord for a lease many times starting two and a half months ago and he always says that he will get it done in the next week or so. I told him that when I got a lease I will pay my rent. We got a letter from him mid-February stating that "we were two months behind on rent and that we must still pay rent until the lease in complete". I paid Jan. & Feb. rent at that time and told him again that we would like to get a lease by March 1st. It is now Mrach 1st and still no lease.
Here is where I am in a pickle (sorry this is so long). We spent two weeks moving, painting, and setting up our business forms with the new address. How can I get this guy to get me a lease before I invest any more money into this place? My fear is that I will make him mad and he will tell us to be out in thirty days. I would like to stay in this location for hte next several years.
