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?

Do you need to have good credit to sign house rental lease?

The tenants say they will not vacate the premises until 12/01/09. Is this illegal on the part of the tenants? One top of this, the tenants didn’t pay the last month’s rent. They said to “keep the security deposit” in place of the last month’s rent.
