Now before I begin, I am well aware that when I moved in I signed a contract. Now to my situation. I moved to Boston a few months ago to continue my education. I live with one of my best friends, who is also studying at the same university. We have only been living here for about 4 months. We have a place in Somerville and rent is 1300 a month, no utilities included. We have a great landlord who happens to have a daughter who goes to the same university as us and he has been most helpful and friendly. My roommate just informed me that his mother is very sick and he has to return to Paris and theres a possibility he will not return. Now I cannot afford the rent by myself. Even with work and all. The Lease I signed is the RHA Standard Form Apartment Lease Fixed Term (2000/2001 Edition).
As for breaking the lease it says the following:

Lessee’s Covenants in Event of Termination Clause The Lessee covenants that in case of any termination of this lease, by reason of the default of the Lessee, then at the option of Lessor:
(A) the Lessee will forthwith pay to the Lessor as damages hereunder a sum equal to the amount by which the rent and other payments called for hereunder for the remainder of the term or any extension or renewal thereof exceed the fair rental value of said premises for the remainder of the term or any extension or renewal thereof; and
(B) the Lessee covenants that he will furthermore indemnify the Lessor from and against any loss and damage sustained by reason of any termination caused by the default of, or the breach by, the Lessee. Lessor’s damages hereunder shall include, but shall not be limited to any loss of rents; reasonable broker’s commissions for the re-letting of the leased premises; advertising costs; the reasonable cost incurred in cleaning and repainting the premises in order to relet the same; and moving and storage charges incurred by Lessor in moving Lessee’s belongings pursuant to eviction proceedings.
(C) At the option of the Lessor, however, Lessor’s cause of action under this article shall accrue when a new tenancy or lease term first commences subsequent to a termination under this lease, in which event Lessor’s damages shall be limited to any and all damages sustained by him prior to said new tenancy or lease date.

Now I understand that it is basically saying that if I break the lease I am responsible for all the rent of the months I have not payed or the time that it is vacant. Now my question is, if I find someone else to move in and take over the contract, does that mean I am not liable anymore? Contracts are contracts but it also says I take over repairs or additions and that I need to inform him of any thing and so far he didnt care what I did. He installed new locks for free, etc. I would love to stay here but I do not want to default and be evicted because I cannot pay rent. Any help or experience would be greatly appreciated!
So far thank you for the help! Some of the best I’ve seen in all the questions asked. I am obviously trying to do it the right way. I don’t want him or myself to suffer financially and I’d rather pay two months in rent when I am not living here to help him find a new tenant, than pay for the rest of year. I will do what I can to help him, when the time comes. Any more help is greatly appreciated!

my bf always gets his tax retrn in 24hrs of filing. has for 10 years. he didnt qualify this year. the rent is 13 days late. a few days ago i panicked and told the landlord that i sent the check already. she stopped by today and left a 3 day notice to pay or she wil begin the eviction process. she said the bank doesnt care about my problems i have been having (death of my friends dad who i have known for over ten years, my daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, the older child is causing problems). we are due to have the check in the next week but it doesnt seem to matter. his ex wont pay child support and he wont go file for it. we dont have the credit to get a payday advance, plus he owes money to a payday advance company form years ago.
all we need is 900 by the 18th, 2 days before the expected tax return. i dont know what to do i screwed up by panicking and lying.
the landlord stopped by without notice at 8 this morning! so im sure she will just ‘drop by’ again later today. so i know she will ask for the ‘returned’ check. so am i screwed?

He should have realized that the rest of the Brigade is absolutely NOTHING without him, as he is the only one that can win competitions (he even has complained about Enzo and Lane not even trying in competitions). He also should have realized that it is only a matter of time before the Brigade turns on him, and he will be the first one they vote out because he wins everything.

Matt should have formed a secret alliance with Rachel and Brendon, because no one would have expected it…he could then bring in Britney and made a secret pact with the other three to make it to Final Four.

After realizing this, Matt should have decided to turn against the Brigade before they turned on him. He could have exposed to Britney that Hayden, Lane, and Enzo are in an alliance, and he could have gotten Britney to use the POV to take down Rachel and put Hayden up in his place (backdoor Hayden). If Matt was worried about this, he could have sold his move by saying that he believed Hayden is the saboteur. Then Matt could have pulled in Britney, Rachel, Ragan, and Kathy to vote Hayden out.

Next week, it would not have mattered who won the HOH or POV competitions, because Matt has the power to overthrow everything with the Diamond Veto. He could have backstabbed Lane and Enzo right before the eviction and put them on the block. Enzo would have gone home, and Lane would be a sitting duck at that point.

Following this, Matt, Britney, Rachel, and Brendon could have picked off Kathy and Ragan, and they would have had a clear path to final four.

Now THIS is how a REAL Big Brother player – like Will Kirby or Evel Dick Donato would have played this game. Matt is a coward and not anywhere near the genius he thinks he is. I can’t wait to see the Brigade turn on him.

What are your thoughts?

United States academic Richard Falk was speaking to the UN Human Rights Council as it prepared to pass resolutions condemning settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The “continued pattern of settlement expansion in East Jerusalem combined with the forcible eviction of long-residing Palestinians are creating an intolerable situation” in the part of the city previously controlled by Jordan, he said.

This situation “can only be described in its cumulative impact as a form of ethnic cleansing,” Falk declared.

Is he right?

All thoughts welcome.

I gave my landlord a written notice in the form of a long letter detailing all of my complaints about the house and our agreement. After speaking with the landlord, it would seem the only complaint I had that was valid was a bathroom issue. The contract didn’t state “shared” bathroom but the bathroom (being in the public area of the house) is used by anyone who stops by – I feel this is a breach of contract. I am a roommate at this house. The Landlord’s sister lives here and occasionally uses my bathroom.

Landlord offered to let me leave early since I seemed so unhappy, offered me to leave within 10 days with an extra 18 days to get the rest of my belongings without breaking contract (we would sign an add on to the contract) I wouldn’t have to pay any rent, utilities – just leave after 10 days with an additional 18 days to get the rest of my things. I turned this down, however, since I feel it’s not enough time.

Now, I put my 30 day notice in on February 22nd. I paid for half of the rent (they pro-rated my rent since I would be moving out on the 24th) on March 4th (1 day late) and have not paid the final half of rent (have received reminder)

My question is: Since the contract was breached by the landlord with the bathroom ordeal, do I have to pay? If I don’t leave after the 30 days are up (on the 24th) are they allowed to evict me or because of the breach of contract (which happened before I put my 30 days in) am I able to stay longer without threat of eviction?

Since contract was breached – contract originally stated I had to pay a $15 fee per day rent was late – can the landlord still try to get me for late fees since as of today I still have not paid in full?

Since contract was breached – the contract originally stated I had 14 days to pay else a 3 day notice to “pay or quit” would be issued – are they allowed to issue this to me?

Does this make entire contract null and void? If that’s the case, are they allowed to evict me now since the contract is then null and void?

What are my rights? What would I be able to sue for with the only breach being the bathroom being used by other people when it doesn’t state “shared” ?
Copy from contract:
“1b:Rental Property Description: The TENANT will be renting the following
property from LANDLORD: 2 (two) bedrooms, unfurnished. Single bathroom,
unfurnished. Shared use of kitchen, shared use of living spaces (dining room, living
room, hallways, laundry room, storage space~ backyard and front yard)”

I rented my house in Florida to move to California with my husband. My renters had issues last month and paid the rent in two payments a week apart. This month they are late again, have not paid as of yet. They are only 1 day late but I am starting to sweat it. Is there a certain amount of time that I have to wait before I start the 3 day eviction notice? (which is the first step of the eviction process)

Last March I was taken to court and evicted from a property in WI, where the landlord waited 6 months to evict me from. He knew I was having financial problems and was trying to find another place to stay. He knew I just had a baby and seemed very understanding that I would get caught up on the past due rent, which I had every intention of doing so. Long story short I was not able to find another place to live for me and my children and he ultimately took me to court. My fiance at the time sent me money for a one way ticket out of the country to come be with him. I informed the judge of my plans and he only told me he wanted me to complete a financial disclosure form before I left. I did so and have not heard from anyone since regarding what I owe the previous landlord. I am now starting to finally get back on my feet, yes I am back in the USA, and am wondering how to proceed.On Wisconsin’s circuit court access website it just shows the amount of the civil judgment, does that mean I owe that amount? I’m confused by it all. I don’t want to have a huge amount being owed and not know about it. Yes I was wrong to let it go this long so please don’t judge me for it. Also does a eviction stay on your record for 10 years after the court date or after everything has been paid? thank you so much for any and all advice!

Several thousand residents in Rome who face eviction from their rented homes by the Roman Catholic church this week have accused church bodies of indulging in a “speculative frenzy”.
In a letter to Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Italian bishops’ conference, a committee formed by tenants said: “We have always paid the rent and taken care of our flats. None of the evictions is for non-payment of rent; they are all because of expired leases.”

I consider myself somewhat of a scientist as well. My landlord came to me the other day and told me that I would have to get rid of all of the scientific experiments that I grow in my kitchen. When I tried to explain to him that I could not just throw them out, he started shouting some jibberish about “eviction” and “condemmed” and “board of health” and “change the locks”. I just tuned him out and am hoping that if I just ignore it, the whole situation will just go away. So, yes, I feel your pain. We scientists must form a united front and not let the non-scientists of the world bring us down with such intimidation tactics.
Laura Palmer: Mark my word, when I win the Nobel Prize, I’m using the money to buy this damn tenement so I can fire him and grow my experiments in peace.
Oh Buk, you’ve come to the right place. I have been stockpiling government cheese for the past 11 years. I ran out of room in my refrigerator (those experiments take a lot of space) about 10 years ago so I’ve been keeping it in the hall closet ever since. You can have as much as you like.
Undercovernudist (I can’t recall ever typing that word before): You can start by emailing me your credentials. If they pass inspection, I will have you sent originals of your birth certificate and social security card as well as a vial of your blood. If you make it past this round of the “interview” process, you will have to pass government clearance, you know the usual. After that, I’ll interview you for the position of my dog walker. If you’ve proven yourself after a year, I may interview you for the position. Thanks for your interest!!

cnataw: Buk gets first priority and I hear he’s hungry. He may drop some crumbs and those, my friend, are all you!
