Even if you are leaving it would be the "right" thing to do to fulfill your half of the rent, in some way you had an agreement be it either verbal or written. However if you are not interested in doing the right thing or being a good person then you have no legal responsibility unless you signed the lease. If your name isnt on it then dont sweat it. However, if you want to remain civil to the other person then you should do the right thing!

address the people/company you are renting from. i am sure they could work something suitable out for you with your being able to move. they are reasonable people or should be. things happen beyond our control sometimes and i know they know that too. next time you get room mates have them added onto the lease with your leaser. that way you are not totally responsible for everything.

You should refer back to your lease agreements on all of them and see what the penalty is for early termination.  And to see if you can sublet the space for the remainder of the leases.

No, you still have to pay your rent,but here is a few things you can do:\n\nIf the landlord does not make the repair the tenant can do any of the following:\n\nTake the rent when it is due to the local clerk of courts. A tenant must be current in their rent with the clerk of courts (called rent deposit). The tenant does not need an attorney for rent depositing. \nApply to the court to order the landlord to make the repairs. The court can also lower the rent until the repairs are made or give the tenant some of the rent money so the tenant can have the repairs made. \nEnd the lease. \nCancel the rental agreement and move. This can be done only after the tenant has given appropriate notice, and the landlord has failed to correct the condition.

If not in writing it's going to be tough to fight it. Unless it was specifically addressed in your verbal agreement they have every legal right to ask for additional deposit. Obviously if you've been there for 10 years you must like the place a lot; probably not worth fighting.

The agreement that you have from the first landlord is now invalid so you will have to find another flat

Your landlord doesn't have to budge.  You agreed to pay X dollars and thats that.   They  have the option of either lowering your rent or losing you as a tenant.  From their response, their answer is that they don't mind losing you.\n\nIf you break your lease and move, you will still be responsible for the difference between what they rent it out for and what you were paying for the remainder of your lease.  You will also be responsible for the rent until they find a new tenant.  The have a duty to mitigate their loss by re-renting the unit asap.  \n\nIn other words, if it takes them 1 month to find a tenant, you owe them 1 months rent at your current rate and if the new tenants rent is less than yours, you owe the difference between what they are paying and what you were paying until the time when your lease would have expired.  You may also owe any fees for advertising, etc.\n\nOr your lease may even have a buy-out clause.  You will need to look at it to find out.\n\nSometimes if you explain that you can't afford the rent any more, a landlord will work with you because if it turns into a non-payment matter, they won't be getting any money while they go through the process of evicting you.  \n\nLandlords can and often times will proceed with getting a judgment against you for unpaid rent.  Some landlords just write it off, but more and more landlords are going after ex-tenants for the money.

...Is your gas and heat part of utilities addendum in your lease agreement?   If so asking the landlord to extract out a separate bill for just you would be discriminatory action against ALL the OTHER residents. He would be very reluctant to do that. Anything a landlord provides to one resident, he must be prepared to provide equally for all other residents.  For instance an announcement is attached to the office door/window for all to see...OR placed on all tenants doors. Time consuming for him to do.

Depends on your lease agreement. I would contact the housing authority for advise. They have a website  I beleive. G/L!

They can keep all of it simply by stating that there were repairs to the apartment that needed to be complete b4 renting. They usually wont give a list of damages that were repaired. Take pics of all rooms when moving in and b4 moving out. It works to your advantage.Good Luck.

Go to the RRA... Renters Rights Association. They will handle it! They eat that kinda crap up... I know cuz I have been an apartment manager b4 and the owners where total asses... there was so many things i couldnt do after the tentants were promised things by the owners then went back on em... good luck

His ownership of it may not be transferrable to you unless they own it as a tenancy in common.  And even then, his share going to you may not guarantee you the right to live in the home.   \n\nIf they own it as joint tenants, it's basically one dies, the other one becomes full owner.  You get nothing.  \n\nYou really need to see a real estate attorney in your area to find out your rights and what you should do.

If you have a one year lease there is no way to get out of it. Most leases do not allow you to sublet. You can ask your manager if they might let you sublet. Then you would have to work out the security deposit with the person that sublets it from you.\n\nIf you break your lease and move out, you will lose your deposit plus pay the rent until it is rerented. They will also charge you for any damages to the apt. or house.\n\nThey will take you to small claims court and from there you get reported to the credit bureaus. It will show up bad on your credit report plus the next place you attempt to rent will see it when they do a credit check on you.

I don't believe you can.  Either way you are liable for the rent till the end of the contract or get someone to sublet your place, if it is allowed.\nYour company might be willing to pay for this if they are the ones asking you to move.  Most do.\nRead what your rental contract says.  It should all be there.

Check your lease for details on what happens if the lease is terminated early.  This might not be possible since all three of you signed the same lease.  However, if your landlord and former roommates are willing to work out a new lease, you could offer to take the penalty for early lease termination yourself and then just your roommates could sign a new lease.  Also, you could work with your roommates to find a subleasor.

try to find someone else to take over the lease and then maybe the leaser will let you out of it.

Depending on the lease, they might or might not have legal right to be there.\n\n1. Does the lease have a sublet clause/assignment provision\n2. What are the local laws regarding point 1\n\nThe people even without a lease may be afforded tenancy though, even if they are a sublet.  It is generally not a requirement to have a lease for tenancies under 1 year.\n\nTheir tenancy would be 'month to month'.  You would have the right to change their rent or serve notice to vacate usually with 30 day notice, again depending on state and local laws.\n\nIf you like them, you'll be better off defining their tenancy on a lease.  This way, should push come to shove, you have a written agreement the court can refer to.
