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.

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.
Landlord Tenant
Rental Agreement
New York
Can a landlord increase the rent during the term of a rental agreement?
I am currently renting an apartment and have a signed rental agreement with my landlord for a fixed term of one year, with a specified monthly rent. However, recently my landlord informed me that they intend to increase the rent starting next month. I was under the impression that the rent amount was fixed for the duration of the agreement, so I am seeking clarification on whether a landlord has the right to increase the rent during the term of a rental agreement.
Damien B.
Hello! My name is Damien Bosco, Esq. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. Generally, you are correct. For an annual lease with a fixed monthly rate, a landlord cannot increase the monthly rent during the pendency of the lease. Sometimes, the lease may allow for such an increase, but only if there is a provision in the lease that allows for it. If your lease does not include a rent adjustment clause and you believe the landlord is acting improperly, you are within your rights to challenge the increase. Feel free to reach out with any more questions about this.
Landlord Tenant
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.

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