Landlord Tenant Legal Questions and Answers
Landlord Tenant
Residential Lease Agreement
North Carolina
Insurance in a residential lease agreement?
I am a tenant who is about to sign a residential lease agreement with a landlord. I am concerned about the insurance requirements of the agreement and what type of insurance coverage the landlord and tenant are responsible for. I want to make sure that I am adequately covered in case of any accidents or damages that may occur during my tenancy.
N'kia N.
North Carolina does not require a residential landlord to maintain landlord insurance and does not require a residential tenant to maintain tenant ("renter's") insurance. However, when a residential lease agreement requires a tenant to carry renter's insurance, it will specify the minimum amount of coverage required. Generally speaking, landlord insurance covers a landlord and tenant ("renter's") insurance covers a tenant. For example, landlord insurance is likely to cover a tenant's injuries or damages related to the landlord's negligence but is not likely to cover the tenant for more general liability purposes. Ultimately, a tenant is responsible for maintaining the minimum amount of renter's insurance required by the residential lease agreement. Otherwise, the tenant may be liable for violating the lease. However, a tenant may choose to maintain renter's insurance with more coverage than required. Exactly how much coverage a tenant needs will depend on that tenant's specific circumstances.
Landlord Tenant
Residential Lease Agreement
New Jersey
As a landlord, am I obligated to agree to a demand or a request by a tenant to modify a written lease agreement in order to remove the other tenant from the lease?
Tenants are unmarried couple. The decision to rent was based largely on the man's income. After 1 year of a 2-year lease, she demands to modify the lease to remove him from the lease. I asked for a new application and NTN Decision Point Plus Report. She submits only the application showing her alimony and child support income and social security disability income for her and her 3 children. What are my rights as a landlord with an existing written lease?
Matthew S.
No, you can enforce the agreement you entered into.

Lease Termination Letter
Massachusetts
Can I terminate my lease early without penalty due to unforeseen circumstances?
I signed a one-year lease for an apartment last month, but my circumstances have drastically changed and I am no longer able to afford the rent or live in the area due to a sudden job loss and financial hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. I have tried to negotiate with the landlord to terminate the lease early, but they insist that I am responsible for the full lease term and any associated penalties for breaking the lease. I want to know if there are any legal grounds for me to terminate the lease without incurring additional costs or penalties given the unforeseen circumstances that have arisen.
Darryl S.
You should review the termination provisions in your lease, but generally the answer is no - you cannot terminate early unless your Landlord agrees to the termination in writing.

Rental Agreement
Ohio
Do I need witnesses for a rental agreement?
I recently signed a rental agreement with my landlord for a new apartment. I am concerned that the agreement may not be legally binding as there were no witnesses present when I signed it. I am looking for advice on whether or not witnesses are needed for a rental agreement to be legally valid.
Michelle M.
Witnesses are not required for a residential lease agreement in Ohio. However, if the term of the lease is 3 years or longer, the signatures must be notarized. I hope this helps.

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.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
