Tenancy at sufferance is when a tenant continues to occupy a property after their lease has ended without the landlord's consent.
The transfer of a right from one party to another. For example, a party to a contract (the assignor) may, as a general rule and subject to the express terms of a contract, assign its rights under the contract to a third party (the assignee) without the consent of the party against whom those rights are held.
Landlords can only enter the rental unit after they've given you notice, which is usually 24 hours (except in the case of an emergency).
In Texas, property owners are required to give reasonable notice before entering an occupied rental property for an inspection. While the law doesn't specify an exact timeframe, a 24-48 hour notice is generally considered appropriate.
Physically threatening behavior or verbal abuse by a landlord towards a tenant is a clear form of harassment. Repeated attempts to intimidate, verbally harass tenants, or engage in obscene sexual advances are all actions that are considered harassment.
In California, within the Business and Professions Code, Section 1995.260, the landlord cannot unreasonably withhold the consent of the tenant to assign or sublease the property.
There are no state laws that regulate landlord's entry in Texas. However, your lease agreement may allow your landlord to enter under certain circumstances. The lease may or may not require prior notice to the tenant. It may also authorize other people to enter, like maintenance staff or prospective buyers.
If the landlord enters the home for reasons other than those stated in the lease agreement or does not give notice when required, the tenant should send a written demand to the landlord. You should tell your landlord about the lease violation and you should give the landlord a deadline to fix the problem.
With a Landlord's Consent to Lease Assignment, landlords and property managers can give formal approval to tenants who wish to exit their lease agreement and transfer it to a new tenant before the rental term is complete.
