Really bad lease! just realized went to lawyer, its a month to month and a one year!?
my landlord has not been making their HOA payments or paying clubhouse dues, which were part of the rent and we understood that.
I went to a lawyer who found tons of errors in the lease that I overlooked, the lease is orignially a revised lease that she got to replace a lease we signed with a real estate agent that she fired.
1st mistake it says "tenant entering into a month to month lease" then she typed in her own font oct 1st 2008- september 31st 2009 1 year.
Problem: no september 31st. only 30 days in September,
2nd mistake "tenant must give 30 days notice to vacate" then she typed in 120 next to it.
problem : lawyer doesnt know because its a month to month lease shes typed a 1 year date unto if that line means that i give 30 days notice withing 120 days of lease ending if i plan on moving, or i give 120 days notice but how would u enforce that on a month to month lease.
Various other things lease contradicts itself, what to do
I guess the lease she amended this one with was better and this one is a month to month lease, that shes typed her own stuff over. Is this a really bad lease or no big deal, or what!?
Most initial leases are one year, and then continue in a month to month lease.
The best thing to do would be to go to her for clarification, and a better written lease.
The phrase "oct 1st 2008- september 31st 2009 1 year" means the person who typed it intended for it to be for the one year period that begins on October 1, 2008 and ends at the end of September 2009 (in other words, on September 30, 2009). I suppose that another possible interpretation is that it is supposed to end 30 days after September 1, in other words, on October 1.
why are you asking here if you consulted an attorney, methinks you are doing your own interpretation
