Will this work with rental lease?

What is the name of your state? Ohio

O.k. I'm trying to get out of this lease so my mother and I have decided to rent the unit out to another tenant, well we found one but her credit is NOT at all good, but she DOES have a great job that pays more than enough for the rent and she DOES pay her rent where she lives now. She'd be a perfect tenant but our landlord/property management is very pickey who their tenants are. So here's my question, can we ADD her and her boyfriend ON OUR current lease as if they're going to be sharing it with us, THEN we tell management we've decided my mother and I no longer wish to share the apartment with them so we request to have OUR names removed while the other 2 people remain on it and we can finally move. Will this work?? It's kinda tricky but we're not lawyers, nor can we afford one and we're up against a brick wall here and want the hell out of this city we're living in. Will this work?

Thanks!

NO.....you cannot decive the Landlord

So start selling your stuff, raise cash, get another part-time job and wait it out till the end of the lease.

First of all, if you can't give valid, HELPFUL answers then I suggest you mind your own damn business--I've seen some of your other "posts" that are nothing more than critical, irrelevant comments. Second of all, why the hell can't I deceive the landlord?? They deceived us and alot of other people by their misleading advertisments and rental agreements and heartless, careless management that makes Hitler looks like Mr. Rogers. Real Estate is a cut-throat business and if I have to sneak and slither in the grass like a snake to get the hell out of here then damn it that's what I'm going to do. And if you can't dispense helpful comments with at least an ounce of maturity then I suggest you ignore my future posts and keep on truckin' buddy.

 

[maxim2]

oh gee you were decieved...well then explain it to us with the PROOF you will show a Judge.

i'm open minded

Lets see if you will Win!

I am a landlord in Florida, not a lawyer. It seems to me that if you can talk your landlord into putting someone else on the lease, and then talk him into taking you off more power to you. But this will depend on your landlord's voluntary agreement. Unless your lease somehow specifically allows for this I don’t see that the landlord has any obligation to do it.

I am interested; it would seem to me that if there was a landlord in Ohio who “makes Hitler looks like Mr. Rogers” we would all have heard about him. That is a pretty strong allegation, Hitler killed millions of people.

O.k. I can see I struck a raw nerve with someone here....Let's get this straight--we do not deal with one individual. We do not deal with a landlord. This is a company called Triangle Real Estate that employs people to be Property Managers and Regional Managers. There is no one individual that runs this apartment complex. It's one of many in central Ohio. That's why it's become so difficult to reason with the people who consider themselves "Property Managers". We cannot reason with someone who doesn't necessarily OWN the property. The Triangle Real Estate employees that we have dealt with in the past 3 months are rude, inconsiderate, careless, and callous people. They don't listen to reason. They will not assist their tenants in ANY way with ANY thing. They do not take care of the property they rent. And they are downright cruel people. How any of them ever got into Customer Service I'll never know. They are sweet as sugar when you show interest in renting from Triangle, but once you sign your name on their damn lease their attitudes change in a snap. As for the "Hitler" remark, I was being sarcastic. Don't take it so seriously. Additonally, I am not taking this to court because I dont' have the time or the money to f*ck around with this mess--I will do what I have to do within the law and hope for the best.

Finally, I will appreciate any kind advice from anyone who cares to divulge it. Otherwise, do not reply to anymore of my posts/questions because I'm tired of the spiteful, harsh comments. If what you have to say cannot be used constructively then don't concern yourself with my problem, Please.

**A: your trick will not work. Let the mgt co. know the truth about you leaving, and ask what are your options. Read your lease and the L/T law so you understand.

Let me offer the following, based on your post:

"So here's my question, can we ADD her and her boyfriend ON OUR current lease as if they're going to be sharing it with us,"
** If your apartment management will allow you to add this person to your lease, go for it. However, it is very likely that even before considering adding this person, the management would want to 'pre-screen' her and her boyfriend. And from your own post, they probably will NOT pass. Further, depending on the specifics of the apartment (size, number of bedrooms, etc.) it is also likely that the apartment management will not allow an additional two occupants. And if they do, there will probably be an increase in rent. As you can see, there are a LOT of issues that would have to be resolved BEFORE they even got on the lease.

"THEN we tell management we've decided my mother and I no longer wish to share the apartment with them so we request to have OUR names removed"
** More problems. ALL parties (including the property management) would have to agree in writing before you could be released from your liability (for the lease). Again, based on your own post, very unlikely that they would agree to releasing you.

"Will this work?"
**No.

CD CD CD...........NO they are not downright cruel people they are CORPORATE PEOPLE.

You see CD once you become CORPORATE you lose all feelings, sensitivies and common sense, and just follow the rules.

Welcome to the NEW AMERICA... CD!!!!!!!!!!

This is what we voted for...Corporate control of our lives....oh you didnt vote well gee..

So you cannot deal with them as Humans, you must deal with them as gogs in a machine, and then you will get results.

YOU will get screwed big time because you are not dealing with Humans....

YOU are dealing with bean counters, AND YOU ARE STEALING THEIR BEANS...

maxim2, your comments make no sense. I would suggest you commit yourself to a Mental Rehabilitation Center and begin psychotropic drug therapy immediately. You're a danger to yourself and everyone around you. What a sad person you are.

 

[maxim2]

then dont steal their beans...pay your FULL rent on time, and live with it!

they will win with your bad attiude, they are professional scumbags, you are no match for them!

 

[abezon]

Just a question -- if these managers are so bad & don't take care of the property, how would they even know if you sublet the place, as long as you pay them & the sublettors pay you? You run the risk of being evicted for subletting without permission, but maybe you're willing to do that.

Also, have you checked out the OH LT repair laws? You might be able to find a substnatial defect, request repair in writing, then teminate the lease when they don't fix it in time. Hint: once you request repairs, don't keep asking. Hope they will forget you until it's too late & you have the right to terminate the lease.

Check out ORC 5321.04 & 5321.07, in Real Property.

I am a landlord in California. Abezon brought up a good point about eviction, and I do not know how your rental lease agreement was written. There is usually a clause somewhere that states if tennant violates certain terms and conditions. This would cause a breach of contract and the lease would terminate, and tenant may be asked to vacate the property. I think this is your ultimate goal. Is ther such a loop hole in your contract that you can leverage?

 

[abezon]

No, you don't want LL to claim tenant breached the lease. When that happens, T is liable for all kinds of breach/termination charges. T wants to find a legal ground to terminate the lease that does not give LL the right to demand termination fees & damages. Hence the repair request trap.

BTW, a corrolary of this is the damage deposit trap -- if it's near the deadline & LL has not returned your deposit yet, SHUT UP until the deadline passes. Then LL can't withhold ANY money from your deposit, regardless of what damages LL claims you caused. If you phone LL and tip him/her off that you know the laws, LL will just write up a 'deduction sheet' & mail it out before the deadline. Then you have to sue & show that you didn't cause damages to get your money back.
