How to get out of a lease

Great name. I like it that you stand on principles.

[quote=north park girl]Thanks everyone. Dan, I think I’ve met you before, when I was checking out a condo in Hillcrest a few years back. I’m passing along the advice, I appreciate it. It’s always nice to know that there are people willing to take the time to give advice to some anonymous poster on the internet 🙂

It looks like the lot has been on the market since January. Interestingly, my friend had negotiated down the rent by offering to sign a six-month lease (it was advertised as a month-to-month). I don’t know why the landlord would have agreed to that.

What happens if that place sells sooner rather than later? Would the new owner be able to kick her out before the lease ends, or do they have to honor the remainder of the lease?[/quote]

If it was at the condos by the Ralph’s, then yeah, that was probably me.

Anyhoo, the lease supersedes the sale.

The buyer would have to be notified of the lease and would either be beholden to it or could buy you out.

I would make a point of asking for written explanation what happens to the deposit, who receives the rent and for a copy of the initial walk thru.

I would not pay rent until you get those things.

That is why email exists.

So it can be printed and pointed at when a dispute arises.

[quote=north park girl]Now it appears the owner has put her phone number in the listing as a contact number, so she is now receiving numerous calls about the property. [/quote]

This part is not only evil but stupid!

On top of the quiet enjoyment, your friend might also have some privacy claims if her personal number is being published without your consent on the listings…it’s a stretch but why not throw it in there just to rattle the cage some more.

(Not to mention that it’s an incredibly rude thing to do! I suppose she could just screen calls and obviously never call those folks back!!! heh heh.)
