triple $ landlord liability

Many States penalize Landlords 3 times the original amount on the $Deposit money if they do not refund the money promptly. In small claims court you may be awarded for several times each months rent you stay there past your 30 day 'written' notice.

You might casually tell your landlord about triple landlord liability.

btw Making tenants liable for a landlord's apartment is just corrupt law. Risk is an owner's reponsibility. I hate leases.

My 2 cents is this. Since you signed no contract you are liable for nothing. Your friend did however sign a lease, not month to month, since you stated begin and end dates. Since friend is not tenant, it is up to a small claims judge, but he is probably reponsible. eg Parents sometimes sign leases for their college teen so it's still binding.

Basic Contract: 1) Signer 2) Signee 3) Term 4) Payment 5) Agreement/Responsibilities

Term is begin & end date eg lease eg 1 year OR month to month eg 30 day.
Payment is monthy $ amount, weekly yearly etc. :)


BTW -- I still want to know how easy leases can be broken under job change. Hmm...

Bsharp has a big chip on his/her shoulder against landlords, in another post he/she calls them illiterate.

aaaannnnd has yet to post one statute. All posts are vague and anti-landlord.

I do not think Bsharp is an asset to these forums if only one "wing" is working, however I do think Bsharp is being an ass.

And I the strongest word I ever use is Heckfire on these boards, so my dander is definitely up!

Grrrrrrrrr

Disagree. I gave the GENERIC FORM of a contract. Those will appear on his contract, especially the generic form of 'term', specifically distinguishes a lease from a monthly rent contract.

Your misrepresentation.

If you say this is a pro LL Legal site then it should be clearly stated that this is for Landlords and not for Tenants.

Understanding that primary purpose of a 'lease' over a 'rent contract', is to push undesireable risk from the Owner to the Tenant, is valuable information. You are pro LL. That's cool. That is your bias. Finance is law too.

Slander, Slander, Slander. Ad Hominum is injurious to others and not helpful. It's better to address the issue instead. It's okay to disagree.

I provided valuable understanding to empower a Tenant to prevent hurt, which helps the LL also. You might be a LL, so that is less in your interest.

You are not too sharp are you. If you would look around this site you might see what it is about.

The people here help BOTH sides, you buttcheese. All you have done is badmouth landlords and tell people to go to small claims court. Or stupidly tell them that renters insurance is not neccesary. WTH?

You ASSumed I am landlord.. you ASSumed that I said this was a pro-landlord site. You also ASSumed that you are providing valuable understanding to these people. Slander... HAH! Some of the posters are naive enough to take you seriously, Gosh forbid. So get it right or you will be out of here.

Mr. Slander, Common misconception.

Only the legal definition differentiates oral and written, Slander and Libel.

Common usage is any defamation ad hominem. That is the dictionary definition. ;)
