What is the big difference between a Real Estate Company leasing a commercial property versus a property management company? It seems like its the same leasing idea (and contract?) but maybe with different tasks AFTER the lease is signed? Are the leasing fees/commissions usually the same? I guess I am trying to figure out why someone would go through a management company versus a real estate company or what really makes the difference?

Is there any way to get out of an apartment lease because I bought a house. Plus I have a baby on the way and the apartment is too small for my husband, myself, and the baby.

I heard as long as I give the landlord a certified letter with the closing date of the house and a 2 month notice that I can break the lease and only lose my security deposit, is this true??
I’m in syracuse NY, its the third time re-signing the lease.
My parents own a ton of rental property and their advisor gave me the info about 2 month advance with house closing info.

I live in wisconsin and i rent an apartment. I found a house i want to buy but i have my lease until july. Is there any type of addendum or clause that lets you break your lease early just strictly when buying a house?

I am just starting a new job and my current lease is over next month and I am debating renting a home until I can buy a house.

There are 6 of us in the house, and the house is owned by the father of one of the guys living there. He wants a yearly lease to us, but he hasn’t finished renovating the place. He still expects us to pay for may, june, july and august even though I won’t be living there, and that it won’t be available to me even if I had to.

What gives?

I’m trying to start up a laser tag business and need to find a great location in my area. What’s the best way to go about finding properties to lease for comercial usage.

The tenant has late unpaid rent when the lease agreement expired. Landlord entered premises and saw the house with extensive damage. Tenant has personal belongings left. Landlord changed the lock to be able to get money for unpaid rent, for repair of the brand new house that the tenant destroyed. Tenants were the first occupants of a brand new house. Tenant refuse to sign promissory note requested by landlord to sign. Tenant made an excuse that they will clean the house but the lock was changed. Carpet was stained, screen windows were removed and frames broken, blinds were destroyed. Wall around the house were all dirty, one lock of the door was destroyed. What are the landlords right in this case?

My husband and I signed a 6 month lease on a condo in Colorado. At the time of signing the lease we informed our landlord that due to a medical condition of my grandmother we may have to move on short notice. The landlord said it would not be a problem and was willing to work it out with us if the time came because this was not our first lease at this property. Today my husband informed our landlord that we will need to move out at the end of the month because of the previously stated medical condition. Our landlord stated that she would need to talk to her mother about letting us out of our lease because she is a co-owner of the condo. We have NEVER heard of the mother owning this property also and she has not been on either of the leases we have signed. Does anyone know if it is legal for our landlord to say that she can not abide by our agreement because of a co-owner we didn’t know existed?

I rented a room in a house, and had no written contract or lease. Everything was just month to month. I paid a 200 dollar security deposit, and when I notified the landlord around Dec. 12th that December would be my last month, she refused to give my deposit back because I did not give 30 days notice. The lady did not live in the house, and she instructed me to take up all house issues with “Brian,” her friend and the person who had lived in the house the longest, so that is who I told I was leaving at the end of December. She then says that I should have told her instead. Do I have any kind of a case in trying to get my deposit back. The room was left cleaner than what I found it, and I did not create any disturbances during my 4 month tenure. Any help would be appreciated.

If a tenant that had signed a lease before a property became foreclosed is paying his/her rent on time and the lender knows he will have a difficult time selling the foreclosed property why would it not be in the lenders interest to allow the tenant’s lease to continue?
1. I am referring to a renter that has taken care of the property.
2. If thats the case why not take the money from 6 months of rent(for example $1800 times 6 =$10800.) and allow a renter to finish out there lease instead of letting it sit with little possibility of selling it .
This is ridiculous these comments
You have thousands upon thousands of homes where renters who ahev been paying there renter on time being thrown out. These homes are going to sit with property tax due and the lender has to pay it yet he would reject the rent of 10,800 in 6 months just TO LET SOMEONE RUN OUT HIS LEASE.
YOU CANT BE THAT STUPID.
Thats alot of dough yet you really think property management is a huge expense againt that much money coming in?
What if you had 10 homes at 10.800 every 6 months just finshing a lease.?
Thats 64,800 dollars.
The lender would rather sit and pay the 20,000 in property tax out of his own pocket???
The leasee is paying the electricity, trash, water and other utilities???

We own a rental property and are starting a new lease with new tenants.
Obviously as owners we would like a one – two year lease.
But we also are looking into purchasing a home and would like the option to sell our rental property (in order to pay down our new mortgage). Is there an exception clause we could put into the lease that would allow us to sell it (without the new owners accepting the lease)? Is that legal or are we trying to do something illegal?

Say you signed a year lease with some apartments and in that time you bought a house and you still have 6 months left on the lease. Is there a law that they have to let you out of it in ky? Or do youknow where i can find out bec ause i tryed google?

My husband and I jumped into buying a house in pa. At the time it seemed perfect. Perfect location and greatest investment. We at the time were waiting for our credit to imporve so we took a rent to own option. The house had a sign that said buy from owner when we bought it. After signing a 3 year lease with the option to buy we found out the house is ridiculously over priced and then while looking over the howard hanna realty website realied our house is still listed as an active house to buy….is this a breach of contract and should we be concerned about this??? We really would like to get out of this lease for many reasons plus our ill parents now need us closer to home. Any help woul be appreciated.

as a social off road buggy club we use private property for our outings the owner is worried about being sued if someone has an accident,as a club we have been unable to obtain public liability insurance that we can afford, if we lease the property can he be held responsible? also does a lease agreement need to be registered?

I’m planning on doing a loan modification and currently have a tenant in my property whose lease will not expire until april 2010. Frankly speaking that property was intended as a primary residence but because of economic problems was forces to look for alternative means in order to make ends meet. Can I release my tenant from her lease agreement? I post this question because she is more than interested in being release from her agreement with me.

I lesed a room from a friend and signed a contract. 2 months ater she decieds that its just too much to handle so she asked if we can find some where else to live.
