We moved in to our current rental house on october 1, 2011. We are in the unfortunate place that we must break our lease for my husbands job. We have given sufficient notice, and reviewed our lease agreement. It doesn’t say much about breaking the lease other than that we must pay a $50 re-rental fee. She has renters for the duplex, but they are not moving in until june 1, and we move the middle of march. We have paid for the entire month of march, and will lose our deposit, but our landlady is insisting that we must pay for april and may rent. We cannot afford that. What can she do if we do not pay? Will our credit suffer, or can she take legal action? | |||

I also want to comment that when we moved in she would only hold the place for 2 weeks, now she is holding the place for 2 months for these renters. She also tore down the garages the week before we moved in and promised that they would be up before the winter, since we were paying for one. They were finished last week. |

I also want to mention that she will be holding our house for 2 months until these renters can move in, while she required that we move in within 2 weeks of applying to rent. She also had torn down the garages a week before we moved in and promised that new ones would be built before winter, since we were paying for a garage. They were finished 2 weeks ago, almost 6 months after we moved in. |

If your lease agreement says that you will only for a $50 re-renting fee if you decide to move before the lease is up then that should be it. I would suggest that you keep a copy of the lease so that you will have some proof that you did your part of the deal. If she continues to insist that you pay for the two months before the next renters move in but that’s not in the lease, you can file a complaint against her through RPA. She can’t take legal actions against you for something that is not in the agreement. |

WE RENTED A HOME TO A FAMILY FRIEND. THEY SIGNED A 1 YEAR LEASE BUT SINCE THEY WERE FRIENS WE DID NOT REQUIRE A DEPOSIT. NOW AFTER 6 MONTHS THEY WANT TO BREAK THE LEASE. WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE AS A LANDLORD IF WE DO NOT HAVE A DEPOSIT TO WITHHOLD?? | |||
