Good thing I do not have to go through all the hassles and headaches of breaking my lease early for I have a good landlord that I can talk to anytime.LOL

This is case to case basis for me. As a LL I will have to assess the situation before doing anything.

It is very hard to put your rental property in the market now so I would ask the tenant to pay a certain amount of money in order to compensate the months that I do not have income because of them backing out.

What about all the hassles I went through doing credit and background checks? Can I demand the tenant to pay for them?

I will never give the security deposit back but I will return the tenant’s first and last month rent.

Good thing I have a sympathetic landlord and he let me off the hook after I explained to him the situation.

I never signed any lease agreement but I paid the landlord for all the fees. All I have is a receipt from the landlord. I never moved in yet and decided not to move in due to some personal issues. Can I still ask the landlord to give me back the money I paid him?

My mom signed a lease agreement for a house in the Upper East Side however she found out that she could not move in because the rent was increased and she no longer can afford it. She told her landlord about it and he refused to let her off the lease and insists that my mom should pay the remaining 10 months’ rent. Do we have legal rights to sue the landlord for this?
