What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona.
I am a term civilian employee and also a Reservist. I am interviewing for permanent and also military jobs out of state.
I posted before because the landlord will not pick up or accept delivery of my certified letter on the condition of the condo upon move-in. His agent declined to provide a copy of the move-in inventory noting water damage.
I am now mailing the letter first class and may also use a process server to show I officially notified him about the earlier water damage.
I decided to start trying to find a replacement tenant given the job search situation, and posted an ad with an availability date of May, contingent on landlord approval and the tenant passing the credit check.
The lease says the landlord must approve of any new tenant or sublease.
Can he refuse the tenant if he/she passes the credit check?
I found a property manager who will do the credit check and background check for a prospective tenant and I will pay for that.
I am also making the condo marketable on an attorney's advice by repairing the stove, getting a new dryer, and fixing the toilet.
The landlord has no property manager and he lives out of state.
My question is, if I find a tenant, to mitigate the landlord's damages, can he sue me for the remaining 6 months of rent??
At this point, I would give up my security deposit if I could leave otherwise unencumbered.
This has been a terrible situation, not being able to document that a storm caused the water damage with a vent on the roof, not me.
I do have an inspector's report and emails I sent the landlord about the roof leak, but the lease says notice must be by certified letter of the need to repair.
I am concerned he could somehow blame me for any lingering water damage (water shorted out outlets that now appear to work but went through the ceiling and wall).
Also, when should I give the landlord notice? The lease just says give 30 days notice at the end of the year term and I would be departing early.
Also, how can I give notice if the lease says use a certified letter but the landlord declines certified letters??
Lastly, it is possible that I may receive actual military orders for my next job. If I did, I know I am on solid ground in departing just so I provide the 60 days notice.
The lease says I cannot "attempt to sublet without the landlord's written consent."
Is posting an ad to find a prospective tenant in violation of that if I specify in the ad that the landlord must approve of the tenant first?
Thank you.
