Landlord Tenant Legal Questions and Answers

Landlord Tenant

Demand Letter

Ohio

Asked on Sep 15, 2023

Cost of writing a demand letter?

I am currently in a dispute with a tenant who has failed to pay rent for the past six months. I have tried to resolve the issue with the tenant directly but he has been uncooperative. I am now considering taking legal action and have heard that a demand letter is a good first step. I would like to know the cost of having a lawyer write a demand letter for me.

Jeffrey K.

Answered Sep 26, 2023

A demand letter would probable cost between $100 and $150. However, if you have a tenant that is six months behind in rent, you're better off posting a 3 day notice to vacate and evict the tenant and get a paying tenant in the property. If the tenant hasn't paid in the past six months, it's unlikely the tenant will start paying now. You can always sue the tenant after you evict them (or even during the eviction process) but getting them out will allow you to place a paying tenant in your property.

Landlord Tenant

Rental Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Oct 6, 2023

How to draft a fair rental agreement?

I recently moved to a new city and am looking to rent an apartment. I am unfamiliar with the laws and regulations around rental agreements in this area, and I want to make sure that I create a fair and legally binding agreement with my potential landlord. I want to make sure that both my rights and those of my landlord are protected.

N'kia N.

Answered Oct 15, 2023

North Carolina General Statute 42 contains the North Carolina Residential Rental Act i.e. the landlord-tenant law. Generally, North Carolina landlord-tenant law requires that (1) a residential landlord keeps the property fit and habitable and (2) a residential tenant keeps the property safe and sanitary, pays the rental fee at the time and in the amount agreed upon, and follows (valid) agreed-upon rules. It also addresses other important issues like security deposit, late fee, required notice, termination, and eviction. One important aspect of the statute is that it does not allow a residential landlord to avoid or disclaim certain responsibilities simply by having a tenant agree in a rental agreement. Another important aspect of the statute is that it allows a residential tenant to recover money from a landlord who engages in certain particularly egregious conduct. It is important for a future residential tenant to know each party's rights and responsibilities before entering into a residential rental agreement. If you are considering signing a North Carolina residential lease, you are entitled to have an attorney review it and advise you before you sign.

Answered Mar 18, 2022

It is unclear what your exact question is. Unless illegal or unconconscionable, anything can be agreed to in a contract. Enforcing the agreement may require litigation. If you are asking if the clause is a valid one, it could be. If you are asking what to do if the landlord did not honor it, you may need to sue. If you are asking if this is standard and was not in the contract, the answer is no. You cannot assume it is. Hope this helps some. Contact me if you would like a consultation specifically on this issue.

Addendum to Lease

California

Asked on Sep 9, 2024

Can an addendum to a lease be used to modify the terms of a lease agreement?

I am currently renting a commercial space for my business, and I recently received an addendum to the lease agreement from my landlord. The addendum contains several changes to the original lease terms, including an increase in rent and modifications to the maintenance responsibilities. I am unsure if the landlord has the legal right to make these changes through an addendum, and I would like to understand the validity and enforceability of this document.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 1, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry about this situation! To modify a contract legally, the following requirements must be met: 1. All parties to the contract must agree to the modification. This means that both parties must sign and date the amendment to the contract. 2. The parties to the contract need new consideration -- something of legal value -- to modify a contract. For example, if a party wants more money for something they would need to provide additional performance in exchange. 3. A writing is not required for a modification, but recommended. In your case, you said that you received the addendum to the lease agreement and it contains changes to the original terms, including an increase in rent. An increase in rent would be a change to a material term, requiring you to pay more. Because you would be required to pay more, your landlord would have to offer something in exchange for this to be binding. This means that unless the lease was up for renewal, the modification would be invalid. Thanks again and good luck!

Landlord Tenant

Rental Agreement

Ohio

Asked on Oct 5, 2023

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.

Answered Oct 24, 2023

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.
