You shouldn`t need a new lease just because you hired a property manager if they were still under their current lease term. A simple notification of the change of direction should suffice. This should temporarily solve a problem. On the street, you need to decide whether it is worth keeping a tenant who needs a lot of maintenance. In my opinion, this is generally not the case. And I would absolutely have a problem with changes and additions to the property, whether they are beneficial or not. Where is the line then? What will you do if she makes a change that you don`t like or that is bad for the property? She will argue that you had no problems when she made changes the other times. In the event that the conditions have been violated or if major changes, such as . B divorce, occur, you can modify the lease. Of course, I am sure that you communicate everything so that the tenant is informed of any changes. If it is in the lease and you have accepted it, it is enforceable. If the previous landlord had decided not to apply something, they could have rewritten the lease to omit these elements.

Otherwise, the new owner has the right to assume that the signed lease is binding. Woj, I`ll give you my opinion on your points below – 1. PooPrints is a company I just heard about. They actually collect DNA from all the pets in the community and if there is a problem with the ingestion of feces, the management company can match the DNA to find the culprit. I like the idea as much as the next guy, but it seems like an extreme way to deal with disrespectful tenants. For me, it has more to do with people not following the rules because the management company makes the enforcement of policies bad. There is no easy solution to this problem. It is rampant in rental communities across the country and strict enforcement is the only solution.

2. Your rights to the common areas must be clearly stated in your rental agreement. I would look at this again to see if the new policies nullify or conflict with any of your rights. If the language is not clear or the policies are not described, they may change as long as you still have the ability to access them. 3. Again, I would refer to the lease. If something is advertised and you don`t get a convenience that you pay for, I would ask for a rent reduction. But if it`s not specified, then it`s just a bad deal to offer and persevere with future equipment. My advice, you seem to be a reasonable person and a voice of reason. Be a leader in your community and work on a solution. There is power in the number, the management company can take things much more seriously when it realizes that it alienates a large majority of tenants.

Sergio, the landlord must adhere to his originally signed lease It is absolutely legal with proper notification that you have received. This shouldn`t be a big deal. unless you are the author! Pick them up for God`s sake!! You can do this in two ways – 1. When the term of the current lease has expired, a new lease can be posted from month to month. If the current lease you`re using doesn`t already mention it, as many do. 2. If you and the tenant agree on the monthly terms, you can sign a new lease. However, if the tenant does not agree and is still renting, you must also follow the rental agreement. In this case, you will have to wait until the end of the rental period. Rental supplements are separate documents that landlords add to an original lease. Landlords use them to provide additional information that the original lease does not cover. Be careful not to confuse addendum and lease amendments, which are modifications made directly to the existing lease itself.

Although they serve a similar purpose, amendments are often misused to mean the same thing as supplements. The contract is still valid and the new management of the property assumes responsibility for the existing lease. The only time this becomes a big deal is when the new property management company starts changing the rules without proper notice. But if nothing changes, the notification you received (at the door) is enough. Two-year leases are only valid if they are notarized. If the lease is not notarized, it becomes a monthly rental. I live in Virginia. The lease I signed with my landlord says I can sublet.

A few months later, I told them I wanted to sublet. They told me I could sublet if I paid $125 more with my rent. These fees are used to cover the wear and tear of the house. This is called a subletting fee. These fees were never mentioned in the lease we signed. Tanner, I`m a little confused. Why would they make you sign the new addendum and not the other tenant? Even if he was a grandfather, as you say, the new rules still apply to him, right? If this is the case, he should also sign the addendum. If he doesn`t, I`ll read this because you may be charged extra and not him.

What you would have a legitimate concern. I would contact the owner and see what their explanation is in this scenario, as you shouldn`t get stuck with overage charges on your own. And since this is a roommate situation, the chances of this happening are certainly greater than if you were alone or sharing the rent with someone you knew and signed a lease with. The main purpose of a written lease is to have a document describing the rights and obligations of the parties and to dispel any doubt about the terms and rules. It plays a crucial role in minimizing misunderstandings and potential disputes. The duration of the lease depends to a large extent on the number of addenda and disclosures included (both optional and required by law). Of course, supplements will renew a lease, but they offer the advantage of dividing a long document into sections that make the lease easier to read and reference. To decide if an addendum is required, usually ask yourself if this issue is already clearly addressed in the lease. If not, an addendum to the lease is a good idea. While this isn`t a complete list, here are a few situations where supplements are warranted – Bryan, check your lease to see if it mentions that policies may change.

And as I`ve mentioned in previous comments, there`s a good chance something specific happened for the owner to have to change the policy. Usually an insurance problem. The lease renewal period is when changes can be made, but you should be aware of this. Both parties must agree to the terms if they have changed. Automatic renewal only works if there are no changes and the same rental conditions can be used. Be sure to check if there is a specific deadline to cancel the extension. If you do not agree with the changes and do not wish to renew them automatically, they must be duly notified in accordance with the conditions set out in the original agreement. I do not agree with that. The issue of insurance coverage is the landlord`s problem, not the tenant`s problem.

The landlord must abide by the terms of the lease unless a new lease is agreed and signed by both parties. In addition, there are a variety of insurance companies on the market that the owner can switch to instead of breaking this agreement. So, a) yes, there is a legal position because the owner violates the agreement and b) his change of insurance policy does not cancel the fact that he must respect the original agreement. If it is a change in the law, that is another story, but to my knowledge, no law has been enacted that makes it illegal to own rescue dogs, so it is a ridiculous provision. I am a tenant and my lease states that I am responsible for heating, electricity, cables and telephone. Which I agree with. We have oil-fired heat. Without my knowledge or consent, my landlord went behind my back and filled our tank with oil and now wants us to pay 200.00 more per month for the oil, and they also called the oil company and added a service contract on their behalf for my apartment and if I call the oil company, they will not give me any information. Can the landlord do that? Go behind my back, fill my tank with oil, and then ask for the money if the lease clearly says I`m responsible for my own oil, so wait, it doesn`t make sense. I have not yet signed the new agreement. it`s for October.

so they can just demand extra money from me before the new contract starts? it doesn`t seem fair or legal. Your current lease is in effect until the terms expire or you sign a new one. The new landlord can`t come and charge for things you didn`t accept or terminate the lease prematurely. I would explain to you that you sit down the rest of the lease and are on your way. If the new landlord tries to evict or sue, he will surely lose in court if the reasoning is due to unauthorized changes to the lease. For example, let`s say you and your tenant agree to set up a deferred rent payment plan. To ensure that this new agreement is bound in a contract, you can create a lease addendum that describes the new rent payment plan (i.e. The tenant agrees to pay X rental amounts over the next period of X). John, when a new lease is signed, the old lease is null and void. You can request that the elements be included at the time of signing the new lease, but if it is not mentioned, it is NOT implied that the terms of the old lease would continue to apply. I hope this helps. I have been living in my current apartment for almost 7 months.

My rental office tries to say that I never registered my dog when I moved in, but I did. I fully disclosed all my pets to them when I applied. They are now trying to charge me a $10 monthly pet fee that is not included in my current lease, plus a $300 non-refundable pet deposit. My lease agreement shows a non-refundable deposit of $150 that I paid. Can they charge me the monthly fee and deposit? I was never told that there was a restriction for my dog. .
