Landlord Tenant Legal Questions and Answers

Landlord Tenant

Lease Termination Letter

Massachusetts

Asked on Jun 30, 2024

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.

Answered Jun 30, 2024

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.

Landlord Tenant

Commercial Lease Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Jun 7, 2024

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.

Answered Jun 7, 2024

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.

Landlord Tenant

Residential Lease Agreement

Indiana

Asked on May 30, 2025

Can a landlord in Indianapolis record video and audio without telling the tenant?

I rent a room in a house. Landlord ./owner oesnt live here. A week ago he installed cameras in the living room and kitchen. They don't cover exterior doors. He said nothing to me but I see them. Not hidden. Tonight I found out he can talk to me and hear me through them. Is this legai? What should I do?

Joseph B.

Answered May 31, 2025

The question would be what exactly do you rent. Do you rent a room and the kitchen and livingroom are common areas or do you rent the entire space. You have an expectation of privacy inside the space you rent. So, for example, if you rent a single room, you have an expectation of privacy inside that room, and thus there is no expectation of privacy in the common areas. However, if you rent the entire space, then the area for your expectation of privacy is the entire unit. This does not apply to bathrooms or changing rooms or other areas where there is also a general expectation of privacy.

Landlord Tenant

Rental Agreement

Florida

Asked on Oct 9, 2023

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.

Answered Oct 17, 2023

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.

Landlord Tenant

Rental Agreement

Washington

Asked on Oct 6, 2023

Who keeps the original rental agreement?

I am a tenant who recently signed a rental agreement with a landlord. I am curious as to who keeps the original agreement, as I was not given a copy of the agreement after signing. I would like to know if I am entitled to receive a copy of the document and who will be responsible for keeping the original agreement.

Merry K.

Answered Oct 14, 2023

It is customary for the landlord to keep the original. WA State Law requires the landlord to give the tenant a copy: https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=59.18.065
