Landlord Tenant
Demand Letter
Ohio
Cost of writing a demand letter?
I am currently in a dispute with a tenant who has failed to pay rent for the past six months. I have tried to resolve the issue with the tenant directly but he has been uncooperative. I am now considering taking legal action and have heard that a demand letter is a good first step. I would like to know the cost of having a lawyer write a demand letter for me.
Jeffrey K.
A demand letter would probable cost between $100 and $150. However, if you have a tenant that is six months behind in rent, you're better off posting a 3 day notice to vacate and evict the tenant and get a paying tenant in the property. If the tenant hasn't paid in the past six months, it's unlikely the tenant will start paying now. You can always sue the tenant after you evict them (or even during the eviction process) but getting them out will allow you to place a paying tenant in your property.

It is unclear what your exact question is. Unless illegal or unconconscionable, anything can be agreed to in a contract. Enforcing the agreement may require litigation. If you are asking if the clause is a valid one, it could be. If you are asking what to do if the landlord did not honor it, you may need to sue. If you are asking if this is standard and was not in the contract, the answer is no. You cannot assume it is. Hope this helps some. Contact me if you would like a consultation specifically on this issue.

Residential Lease Agreement
Florida
Length of a standard residential lease agreement?
I am in the process of looking for a new place to rent and want to make sure I understand my rights as a tenant. I am looking to sign a residential lease agreement and was wondering what the standard length of the agreement is so I can plan accordingly. I want to make sure I am aware of any potential pitfalls or issues that may arise from signing a long-term lease.
Linda W.
Being a landlord myself, and haven’t been involved in numerous residential landlord/tenant proceedings, my experience is that most residential leases are for one year. However, that being said we do live in Florida, and there are a lot of people who come down here just for the winter, which therefore involves shorter term leases. And if it is a condominium, the minimum length of time is determined by the condominium documents. If it is a home in a community, it would be covered by the HOA documents. Freestanding homes are limitless.

Building Lease
Ohio
Can a landlord terminate a building lease before the agreed-upon end date?
with background: 'Can a landlord legally terminate a building lease before the agreed-upon end date? I signed a lease for a commercial space for my small business, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the landlord has informed me that they want to terminate the lease early. I am concerned about the potential financial and operational impacts this may have on my business and want to understand my rights and options in this situation.
Michelle M.
The answer to your question is contained in the lease. All rights and obligations of parties to a commercial lease are controlled by and provided for within the lease. If your lease provides for early termination by the landlord, then the landlord can exercise that option. If it doesn't provide for early termination and you are in compliance with the lease, then they can't terminate early (at least not without your consent). You should retain a local attorney who can review the lease and provide advice concerning your specific situation. Best of luck!

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.
