Residential Legal Questions and Answers
Residential
Agreement To Lease
North Carolina
What are lease agreement laws for Greenville, NC.
I broke my lease and I was paying my rent until a new tenant was found. A new tenant was found and I was told to turn in the keys because they were moving in and so I didn't have to pay rent no more. I was told that the new tenant doesn't want to stay and I have to start back paying rent. Do I have to start back paying rent?
Holly T.
You must read your lease. Cross reference any lease breaking terms with anything the LL agreed to in writing. Depending on how much was left on your lease, also pull out the requirements for you to terminate the lease via notice near the end. If the new tenant was approved by them and signed a new lease you should be released. However if they merely allowed a new tenant subject to your lease or you sublet without permission, you may still be liable. You'd need to consult with an attorney to be sure but I'd sugggest asking the LL to explain how you're still liable to save time and money. They should be able to cite the agreement requiring you to continue payment.

Is there an attorney out there who does the job with the evidence speak for the self
My apartment complex took me to court for rent old witch was not true I had evidence that was entered into the court but the grounds wasn’t laid down by my attorney stated by the substitute judge I’ve been evicted I’m homeless and I have witnesses as well and perjury from the opposing counsel I went to the magistrate I went to Districk and now I’m looking to file an appeal to appellate for damages to my person for money that was charged to me for services I never received I contacted Department of Justice and NAACP my lawyer told me well my previous counsel stated she doesn’t have time to handle appeal court because she also has a full-time job and she’s not competent enough because she never went past District Court . Breach of contract is what the apartment complex Sweetwater properties Cameron holding LLC has violated also the requirements under the whole program and not having their books up-to-date with payments from volunteers of America as well as money laundering tax withholding
Holly T.
I am not going to address anything except the appeal process. This is not a contract issue or transactional so I cannot comment further. Evictions are heard in small claims in front of a magistrate. They are heavily weighted in the favor of renters. Some counties such as Orange employ free attorneys devoted to deferring and defending evictions. An appeal from a small claims decision has specific time requirements and is to District court. Some District courts require arbitration for some matters. The Clerk of Court in the relevant county can advise on days left to appeal and whether there is an alternative dispute process required in this situation. If there is, the evidence requirements are not formal. A lay person can represent themselves.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
