Landlord Tenant
Demand Letter
Ohio
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.
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.

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.

Rental Agreement
Florida
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.
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.

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 A.
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.

How To Get an Addendum to a Lease as a Tenant
I'm a tenant with a Case & Associates Property looking to get an addendum made to a lease agreement, specifically about a possible error with the lease term that was signed on. Is this something that can be done between a tenant and property manager? Do I need a tenant lawyer involved? Honestly any help with how to proceed on this is greatly appreciated. The error is that I had wanted to sign on for three months, but got put on for fourth months instead. I believe an addendum could correct this, but am not sure.
Sarah S.
You're basically asking for free legal advice because you're not asking for a drafted document but I'll bite because no local lawyer will have a remedy for this anyway. The LL tenant laws for Oklahoma are found in Title 41 of the Oklahoma Statutes. They are very loose. Your proposal could be done, but the PM would have to agree to it. Typically when contracts are altered, there must be a new form of consideration in exchange for the alteration/addendum (unless you're being put on federal military orders which can break any lease.) If you're not going to offer them something of value (i.e. more money, guaranteed professional cleaning of the apt, etc.) they will not have a reason to sign it. If the language of the lease clearly stated 4 months and you signed it anyway, that is on you and you're out of luck. "I wanted to sign on for 3 months but got put on for 4 months instead." Who signed your name without your consent? Were you fraudulently coerced into signing for 1 more month....It sounds like you signed for 4 hoping you could get them down to 3 later...

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