Lease Agreement
Maryland
Can a landlord increase the rent during the term of a lease agreement?
I recently signed a one-year lease agreement for an apartment, and it explicitly states the monthly rent amount. However, my landlord has informed me that they will be increasing the rent halfway through the lease term. I want to know if this is legally permissible, as I understood that the rent amount was fixed for the duration of the lease agreement.
Sara S.
Hi, Without reviewing the entire lease it is difficult to give a thorough answer, but it is likely legally permissible. In Maryland, the rules for rent increases vary based on the type of lease. For leases longer than a month, landlords must give a notice of 90 days. If a lease is between a week and a month, a 60-day notice is needed. Oral leases of a week or less require just 21 days' notice. For leases with a written contract of one week or less, only a 7-day notice is required. These rules ensure tenants have enough time to plan for changes in their rent, and can move if necessary. Refer to the Renters' Rights Stabilization Act of 2024 with a licensed lawyer for more information.
Real Estate
Quitclaim Deed
Minnesota
what form would I use to add my spouse to the title deed of my house?
My husband and I bought a house before we got married but he is the only one on the mortgage and title for the home. We are in our 50's now and would like to add myself to the title deed to the home too so we don't run into legal issues if in event that he would pass away before me.
Michael C.
The main form used to transfer property between spouses is called a Quit Claim Deed. This allows you to transfer interest without going through a full real estate transaction. The Quit Claim Deed must be signed by the current owner(s) of the property, notarized, and then filed with the county recorder office where the property is located. There is typically a small filing fee. You will need the full legal description of the property and the Property ID Number or Parcel ID to complete the Quit Claim Deed form properly. This can be found on your current deed, property tax statement, or through the county assessor's office. Both spouses will need valid photo ID when signing the Quit Claim Deed in front of a notary public. If there are already loans secured by the property, the lender may need to provide approval to add the spouse, so check with your mortgage company first.

Real Estate Lease Agreement
Colorado
Can I break a commercial lease if landlord stops providing heat?
I have been renting a commercial space for more than ten years. There have been consistent issues with heating and AC, as well as a leaking roof. For two weeks now there has been a major issue with the heater—it is not working. I have filed two maintenance requests, the first of which said the issue was handled. I just found out today (14 March) after reaching out a lot that the heater needs parts that are back ordered and won’t be available until 7 April. This is the last straw for me. I am wondering what the chances are of getting a letter about breaking the lease and being given time to find a new space. Any advice is helpful, and if this is possible I would love to get a quote.
Jane C.
It depends on the terms of the lease. The apartment is not habitable at the moment, so you should at least get a rent abatement. You should have a Colorado attorney review the lease.

Real Estate Sales Contract
Pennsylvania
This is a very insignificant question but one that I cannot find an answer. On the PAR Agreement for the Sale of Real Estate there are numbers listed in parentheses after each section, such as, Purchase Price and Deposits (4-14). Are the numbers referencing something? What is the significance?
I am a trainer here in the Northeast and assisting our internal team players to understand a contract and pull information that is pertinent to their transaction.

I would need to see the agreement so I could know what you mean.

Construction Services Agreement
New York
Can a construction services agreement be terminated by the contractor if the owner fails to make payment within the agreed timeframe?
I recently entered into a construction services agreement with a contractor to renovate my commercial property. The agreement stipulates that I will make payments to the contractor within 30 days of receiving an invoice. However, due to financial constraints, I have been unable to make timely payments and have fallen behind on several invoices. I am concerned that the contractor may terminate the agreement and leave the project unfinished if I am unable to catch up on payments. Can the contractor legally terminate the agreement if I fail to make payment within the agreed timeframe?
Arthur S.
Simple answer...Yes. That said, most Owner/Contractor agreements....particularly AIA forms of Owner/Contractor Agreement, empower a contractor to terminate the agreement on written notice following certain work stoppage and cure periods. A more precise answer, in this instance,, would require a review of the relevant provisions of the underlying Owner/Contractor Agreement in question.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
