Letter Damages

Q: Can I change my mind after signing an apartment lease? A: In California, strictly speaking the answer is no.One purpose of the deposit is to compensate a landlord who takes a property off the market, believing it to be rented when the successful tenant changes his mind.

If a tenant is subletting without consent, it's likely they will have broken terms in their tenancy agreement. This breach of contract means that the landlord can take action to evict them from their home. Possession proceedings can be started quickly, but it's important to follow the correct legal process.

Once you've signed a lease, you're on the hook for the remainder of the lease termunless your landlord agrees to let you out of it early.

A landlord cannot evict a subtenant.If the landlord really wants the subtenant gone, he would have to terminate your right to sublet the property. This means, he would have to evict you to get rid of the subtenant. If you want to evict a subtenant, and don't want to get your landlord involved.

A Residential Sublease is a legally binding contract made between the original tenant of a rental property (sublandlord) and a new tenant (also known as a subtenant or a sublessee). The sublease gives the subtenant the right to share or to take over the rented premises from the original tenant.

Subletting a rental is permitted in California if the landlord doesn't expressly prohibit it in the lease agreement.Tenants can legally sublease their unit unless the landlord specifically says they can't in the leaseand even then, depending on where they live, they may have some leeway.

The subtenant must give a notice of one month in order to terminate the sublease. The subtenant is also required to give reasons for leaving the premises. A sublease can be terminated early if the subtenant is willing to pay the rent until the end of the month and an amount in addition to this.

Each state has different laws regarding subtenancy, with most landlords prohibiting subletting a property without prior permission. If subletting occurs without the landlord's knowledge, that landlord has the right to serve a three-day notice of eviction to both the tenant and the sublessor.

Your agreement may set out the notice period required. If it doesn't, then as a subtenant with an excluded tenancy you have a right to a notice period which is the same as your rent period. For example, if you pay rent monthly, you have a right to one month's notice.
