QUESTIONS

  • I have just finished a 1 year lease at my current apartment community on November 25th. It's now December 16th and I must break my lease due to family emergency and no financial resources available. Is there anyway I can retrack my lease since the new lease has been in effect for less than 30 days?
  • Landlord gave permission for me to move out early and help find another tenant. Its been almost 2 months and no one has been approved. Landlord has changed rent price multiple times in ad and doesn't follow up with possible applicants. Plus repairs being done to place means I haven't lived at property all of June. Can I just move on and not worry about paying rent and get my deposit back? My lease is through Dec. 2016, but my landlord doesn't seem to be very quick on finding a new tenant or making sure repairs are done in a timely manner. Repairs are on the chiller system and bathroom as well.
  • My son rented an apartment with two roommates. I signed as guarantor for my son and another boy had his mother sign for his guarantor. The apartment complex never obtained a guarantor for the third boy and I'm being told I am responsible for covering the last month's rent/cleaning fees/etc. for this boy.
  • I'm getting a insurance settlement and get food stamps. must I disclose this?
