Notice to Vacate
California
Can my landlord evict me if I have been unable to pay rent due to financial hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic?
I am currently facing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in a significant reduction in my income. As a result, I have been unable to pay my rent for the past few months. I recently received an eviction notice from my landlord, and I am unsure of my rights and options in this situation. Can my landlord legally evict me during this time, considering the circumstances?
Benjamin G.
Good morning, Your landlord cannot evict you. They can, however, provide you with a notice to vacate, Which presumably is what they have given. At the conclusion of the . Assigned for the notice, There may be a summons for eviction and a court date assigned. At that point, you will then go to court and be able to explain your circumstances and only the court can grant you an extension or evict you. If the court chooses to evict you, they will give you a 36 to 48 hour time Period to vacate. However, the court will consider all of your circumstances, and I would urge you to present your medical condition as one of your mitigating factors.

Addendum to Lease
California
Can an addendum to a lease be used to modify the terms of a lease agreement?
I am currently renting a commercial space for my business, and I recently received an addendum to the lease agreement from my landlord. The addendum contains several changes to the original lease terms, including an increase in rent and modifications to the maintenance responsibilities. I am unsure if the landlord has the legal right to make these changes through an addendum, and I would like to understand the validity and enforceability of this document.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry about this situation! To modify a contract legally, the following requirements must be met: 1. All parties to the contract must agree to the modification. This means that both parties must sign and date the amendment to the contract. 2. The parties to the contract need new consideration -- something of legal value -- to modify a contract. For example, if a party wants more money for something they would need to provide additional performance in exchange. 3. A writing is not required for a modification, but recommended. In your case, you said that you received the addendum to the lease agreement and it contains changes to the original terms, including an increase in rent. An increase in rent would be a change to a material term, requiring you to pay more. Because you would be required to pay more, your landlord would have to offer something in exchange for this to be binding. This means that unless the lease was up for renewal, the modification would be invalid. Thanks again and good luck!

Lease Termination Letter
Maryland
Can I terminate my lease early due to unforeseen circumstances?
I recently signed a one-year lease for an apartment, but due to unexpected job loss and financial difficulties, I am struggling to keep up with the monthly rent. I have tried negotiating with my landlord to terminate the lease early, but they are insisting that I am legally bound to fulfill the entire lease term. I want to know if I have any legal options to terminate the lease early based on these unforeseen circumstances.
Sara S.
Hi, The answer to this lies in the lease and what you and the landlord agree to. Maryland law does not generally provide the right to break a lease for good cause. If a tenant wants to break a lease that does not have a cancellation section, Maryland law permits early termination of a lease only under certain circumstances. These include certain situations where continuation of the tenancy becomes a severe hardship for the tenant, medical situations, and certain situations where the tenant has been called to military duty. See Md. Code, Real Property § 8-212.1 . Discussing this with a qualified Maryland attorney will give you much more clarity.
