Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Real Estate

Agreement To Lease

Georgia

Asked on Feb 2, 2022

When it comes to subleasing an apartment or rental, do I need specific written permission from the owner, or as long as the lease agreement doesnt forbit it, am I okay to proceed?

I am in the process of potentially leasing a home in Savannah, GA for a period of 8 months. My goal is to sublease this home as an Airbnb and make a profit. The leasing agreement has no language forbidding subleasing the property, but it also doesnt have express written permission either. I'm just wondering if that means I can proceed with my plan.

Meghan T.

Answered Feb 4, 2022

This is a topic I get asked about very frequently. In Georgia, the right to sublet residential property is based on the express (written) and implied (inferred) language of the lease. Generally, if subleasing is not mentioned, then there is no restriction on subletting. In any event, you may want to at least have a discussion with your Landlord concerning what you plan to do. This can avoid lots of headaches for you and your guests later down the line.

Subordination Agreement

Texas

Asked on Apr 9, 2025

What is a Subordination Agreement?

I am in the process of purchasing a property and the lender has requested that I sign a Subordination Agreement, but I am unsure of what this entails and how it may affect my rights as a borrower. I want to understand the purpose and implications of a Subordination Agreement before signing it, as well as any potential risks or benefits involved in agreeing to it.

Darryl S.

Answered May 23, 2025

The exact situation is unclear as Subordination is usually when you are selling rather than buying. Subordination means putting something in a lower priority compared to something else. In legal and financial terms, it usually comes up when talking about loans or claims. When one party agrees to “subordinate” their claim, they’re saying: “I’ll wait in line — you get paid before I do.” There must be multiple loans or claims and bank is establishing the order they'll get paid.

Quitclaim Deed

Connecticut

Asked on Oct 4, 2023

Pros and cons of using a quitclaim deed?

I recently inherited a property from a family member, and I am trying to figure out the best way to transfer the title of ownership to me. I have heard of quitclaim deeds, and I am interested in learning more about the benefits and drawbacks of using a quitclaim deed to transfer the title of ownership.

Michael C.

Answered Oct 31, 2023

Here are some of the main pros and cons of using a quitclaim deed: Pros: - It's a relatively quick and easy way to transfer property title. The process is simpler than other deed types because no warranty of title is provided. - It can help avoid probate if transferring title from a deceased owner. The property can be transferred without going through probate court. - It's generally less expensive than other deeds. A quitclaim deed is usually considered the simplest and cheapest deed option. - It clears up potential title clouds. It can resolve ambiguities in the property's title history. Cons: - It provides no warranty of title. The person transferring the property does not guarantee they actually own the property. - No liability protection for the recipient. If there are defects in the property title, the recipient has no legal recourse against the grantor. - It may not transfer all interests. Mineral rights, easements, mortgages, and other encumbrances may still exist after the transfer. - The grantor must have valid interest to quitclaim. If the grantor doesn't actually have rights to the property, the deed may be void. - It can facilitate fraud if misused. Care should be taken that the grantor has rights to the property. In summary, a quitclaim deed can be a fast and low-cost option to transfer property title, but provides less protection than other deeds. It's important to be sure the grantor has valid rights to avoid potential title issues. Consulting a real estate attorney can help navigate the pros and cons.

Residential Listing Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 3, 2024

Can a seller terminate a Residential Listing Agreement before the agreed-upon period ends?

I recently entered into a Residential Listing Agreement with a real estate agent to sell my property, but I am now considering terminating the agreement before the agreed-upon period ends. The agent has not been able to generate any offers or interest in the property, and I am concerned about the lack of progress. I want to know if I have the right to terminate the agreement early and if there are any potential consequences or obligations I should be aware of.

Dolan W.

Answered Nov 1, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. Legally speaking, most real estate agent agreements generally state you must pay their commissions even if you terminate the relationship, typically up to 6 months after the termination of the relationship. In theory, you have a breach of contract action if this person has not done any actual work or generated any offers or any interest in the property. This would likely make the agreement "unconscionable" in this case. So what does this mean? It means your best option is to negotiate the termination How do you do that? One little-known, but very effective tool that lawyers use to settle matters outside of court is called principled negotiation.  All this means is that you are looking to get something done on the basis of principles, even if you can’t find a law to support you.  It takes the anxiety out of dealing with the other side because you’re focused on the facts, not each other.  With that said, here are some simple steps you can follow: Figure out what the other side’s interests are (saving money, saving time, etc.?); Think about what your interests are (saving money, saving time, etc.?); Come up with 2 to 3 reasonable and objective ways to solve the problem; Present it to the other side; If the other side rejects, ask them, “Is there a reason why you do not feel it is necessary to negotiate?” Consider what your best alternative to a negotiated agreement is.  This will give you confidence that no matter what, you'll have an option. Of course, these are just building blocks to get the other party to help solve the dispute.  Believe me when I say that good lawyers use this technique all the time to keep things out of court.  You’ll find that it is very effective even with the most stubborn of individuals. Best of luck! Dolan
