Landlord Tenant
Rental Agreement
Florida
Rental agreement for multiple tenants?
I am a landlord of a residential property and I am looking for advice on the best way to structure a rental agreement for multiple tenants. The property is currently occupied by two tenants who wish to stay in the property, but I am considering adding a third tenant. I need advice on how to ensure that all parties are fully informed of their rights and obligations and that any potential disputes can be quickly and fairly resolved.
Diane D.
You need to put all your terms and conditions in your agreement. You can use the same agreement for all three tenants, or more if you desire. Don't leave anything to supposition or make ambiguous statements. If you need further help, you can contact me here.

Lease Agreement
New York
Can the tenant use the property for storage?
As a business owner, I am looking to rent a commercial property to use for storage purposes. However, I am unsure if the property's lease agreement allows for such use or if there are any restrictions in place. Therefore, I am seeking legal advice on whether I can use the property for storage and if there are any legal implications I should be aware of.
Donya G.
In order to advise you on the lease, you would have to have the lease reviewed so that the purposes for the lease can be established and discussed with you. I can help to review your lease and advise you on you can and cannot do based on the lease. You can connect with me via the website to engage my services Donya Gordon

Landlord-Tenant Issue
Washington
Version: Can a landlord legally raise the rent by 50% without providing any notice in advance?
Version: I recently received a notice from my landlord stating that my monthly rent will be increased by 50% starting next month, with no prior notice given. I have been living in this apartment for several years and have always paid my rent on time. I am wondering if this sudden and significant rent increase is legal, as I have not been provided with any explanation or justification for such a drastic change.
Merry K.
In Washington State, for a month to month tenancy, a landlord must now provide two months advance notice in advance, in writing. More advance notice may need to be given if you have a lease or if you live in certain cities or counties that have additional protections for tenants. Here is an excellent, vetted source for legal information - if you scroll down this page, you will find all kinds of reliable information about renters' rights: https://www.washingtonlawhelp.org/topics/housing/renters If you end up writing a letter to the landlord on your own, I recommend (1) remaining polite and professional; (2) Don't try to "sound like an attorney,"; and (3) mail your letter through a post office with one letter going out by regular mail and one by certified mail, return receipt requested. If the landlord doesn't see the error of his or her ways, you may need an attorney to help you. There are attorneys who specialize in landlord/tenant law, a form of real estate law. If you are low income, contact legal services or a pro bono (free) attorneys organization for free or low cost hlep. Please be aware that landlords are prohibited from retaliating against tenants when the tenants are simply exercising their rights. Good luck to you.

Rental Agreement
Washington
Are there automatic renewals in rental agreements?
I am looking to rent a property and have read the rental agreement, however, I am unsure if there are any automatic renewals in the agreement. I have heard that sometimes rental agreements are set up to automatically renew after a certain period of time, but I am not sure if this is the case with my agreement. I am looking for clarity on whether or not the agreement I am signing includes any automatic renewals.
Merry K.
Residential month to month rental agreements and/or residential lease agreements often include terms regarding whether or not an agreement automatically renews. However, the Washington State Residential Landlord Tenant Law and/or ordinances in certain WA cities sometimes may provide the answer to your question. https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=59.18
Landlord Tenant
Commercial Lease Agreement
Massachusetts
Can a landlord increase the rent during the term of a commercial lease agreement?
I am a small business owner who recently signed a commercial lease agreement for a retail space. The lease specifies a fixed monthly rent for the duration of the lease term, which is three years. However, I have received a notice from the landlord stating that they intend to increase the rent by 20% starting from the second year of the lease. This sudden increase is unexpected and would significantly impact my business's profitability. I want to know if the landlord has the legal right to increase the rent during the term of the lease agreement, and if so, what options do I have to negotiate or challenge this increase?
Laura H.
One of the primary benefits of a lease, from a tenant's perspective, is that it allows them to stay in a property for a set time at a guaranteed rental rate. The landlord is bound by the amount agreed to in the lease and cannot legally raise it without the tenant's consent. They cannot force a tenant to consent by threatening eviction. Some commercial leases include a clause that requires the tenant to pay a portion of property taxes, utilities to the landlord, or other amounts that are not fixed at the time of signing. That could result in an increase before the lease ends. Read the document carefully to see if it has such a clause.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
