Question by : Residential Lease date is unclear?
My residential lease states that the term of lease is 12 months, commencing on August 1, 2009, and ending on July 31, 2010. Does that mean I must be moved out on July 30 or before midnight on July 31?
My landlord sent a construction team into our unit on July 31 and they began renovating before we had a chance to move-out. Is this legal? We are being charged for (supposed) uncleanliness of the place when we had no chance to clean since they came in on the 31–I thought we had the 31 to clean.
We moved our things out of my unit on July 31, but just received a bill stating we left the unit so dirty that we caused $ 5000 in cleaning and damages and that we should be glad they are only charging us $ 1225 of that. Beyond a looong story to explain the situation and rebuttle their arguements, the extremely simple/short answer is we had no chance to even start cleaning since construction crews came in to work. Had we been given the time to clean/take pics of the place, I’d be more confident in taking this to small claims court. I am hesitant to do so but can’t afford to lose over $ 1200 to supposed ‘damages’ that I know did not occur and ‘uncleanliness’ that I know is overly priced and could have been cleaned by us if the construction team did not come in and begin work.

…well, July 31, but it’s August 30 today….this is confusing, had you started to move out? You should not be in violation if the LL accused you of the violation before midnight on 7/31/10.

Question by Joe B: Is there an unspoken clause in residential leases, stating the lease can be terminated 30 days prior to effect?
Assume an individual signs a residential lease 6 months before the lease start.

The least mentions nothing about termination of the lease prior to the start date.

Is there an unspoken clause in residential leases that allows them to be voided by either party X amount of days before the lease begins?

I’ve seen leases state, either party can terminate this contract 30 days prior to it’s effect. If a lease doesn’t have this provision or the lease is silent on the matter, are there any unspoken laws that allow the landlord or leasee to cancel the lease?
So the lessor would be held to the same standard of breach if they wanted to back out lets say 4 months prior to the leases begin? Is this a one side or two sided mirror here, in canceling the lease.
Basically is there a law that allows either party to breach a residential lease contract X amount of days before it’s start? Answer for your state if you know…
Cyanne I’m about 95% certain you’re wrong, I just can’t figure the wording to research this…

Question by Brian B: Can you lease residential land?
I have a piece of land in FL mortgaged. Has anyone heard of leasing the land for someone to build a house on? Maybe something similar to what is done with mobile home parks or skyscrapers in cities…

Question by M&K R: Is it necessary to hire a lawyer to lease a residential property?

Best answer:

Answer by Sunshine
No, it’s actually a waste of money. If you’re really worried about the legalities of it, I’d recommend leasing a residential property through a property management company instead if you can afford it. It’s a lot cheaper and they can do it for you for as long as you want to lease out your property. If you change tenants you have to continually hire a lawyer to change the terms on your lease agreement.

Question by Muffin: How enforcable in NH law are residential “relet” fees in a lease and how do they impact your credit?
My landlord has a relet fee built into the lease contract of my apartment and I am looking to break the lease prior to full term. How likely is the landlord to be able to enforce collection of this fee and will not paying it effect my credit score?

Best answer:

Answer by BeachBum
It all depends on how far the landlord takes it. 95% of the time, breaking a lease does not end up on your credit because there are so many fees the landlord has to pay in order to take you to small claims court. Most of them just let it go and keep the deposit.

As far as the relet fees, the same thing applies. He would have to take you to small claims court to attempt to get this paid. I wouldn’t worry about it. Like I said, most of the time, it is cheaper for the landlords just to keep the deposit, etc…

The only time you really see landlords go to small claims court is when they are trying to have someone evicted.

Question by David V: Residential lease in florida?
If a Lessee voluntarily vacates a residental property in Florida before the ending date stated on the lease, do they legally lose their security deposit and last month rent? I cannot locate any information on this subject. Thank you. Have a great day.

Best answer:

Answer by talldude
The information you are looking for would be included in the signed lease.

Laws vary from State to State (and within municipalities) but if the lease says that breaking the lease (early termination, or termination without notice) results in forfeit of deposits/rent, then yes, those amounts could be held by the owner of the property and not returned to the person who broke the lease.

In some lease agreements and some states there are exceptions if the person leasing is breaking a lease to buy a home.

Again, check the signed lease.
