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.

Tenant Rental Agreement
Illinois
I'm a landlord looking to add a lease clause that allows my tenant to break the lease if he/she covers all rent up until the start of the new tenant's lease. Can you help me?
I'm in Illinois and my current tenant would like to renew the lease but add this clause for flexibility to possibly purchase a house. We discussed that she will cover the rent up until the new tenant moves in.
Mathew K.
I can draft this addendum to the lease. Please resubmit as a proposal so I can submit a bid at this link: https://www.contractscounsel.com/client/create-project/step-h1?cta=4.

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.

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.

How to amend a rental agreement?
I am a tenant in an apartment that I have been renting for the past year. Recently, my landlord has asked me to sign a new rental agreement with updated terms and conditions. I would like to know the process for amending the agreement so that I can make sure all the terms are agreeable to both parties.
Merry K.
Speaking generally, if your agreement is a lease, neither the landlord nor tenant can amend it unless both parties agree (the same can be said for a completely new agreement). If it is a month to month agreement, if you don't sign, the landlord may be able to give you notice to vacate. What I would do is ask for a couple of days for review. Put your current agreement down with the proposed new agreeement down, side by side, and go through them together, paragraph by paragraph. At the same time, make notes about anything in the new agreement you don't like, and attempt to negotiate the terms with your landlord before signing. Please note that the WA State Residential Landlord Tenant law was modified in several ways by the WA State Legislature, effective a few months ago - this may be why your landlord is doing this. For example, a landlord now has 30 days to return a security deposit (or explain why he/she isn't); it was 21 before that, and 14 before that). To review the Landlord/Tenant Law at the same time, follow this link: https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=59.18 If you would like to hire me to help, I am not available until October 15th, I'm afraid - I'm on vacation at Yosemite.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
