Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I have a tenant breaking a 1 year lease after only 2 1/2 months on a house I own, but now rent out. I was paid first & last month, along with July & Aug rent, along with a security deposit. Couple has been married a year. Wife signed the lease, husband did not. He left her 2 weeks ago (2 months into the lease term), & she has had no contact w him. Questions pertaining to Nevada law:
1st - since husband did not sign lease, is he still liable for anything, or is it all her responsibility? Do I need to contact him, or should she be my only contact?
2nd - can I keep the security deposit due to breaking the lease?
3rd - can I attempt to collect more rent on this until I rent it to a new tenant, or, can I make some sort of financial agreement with wife.
4th - if furniture is left behind, say it's the husbands, what do I do with it?
5th - since I now live out of state, should I just hire a Property Mgmt company to handle everything with the next tenant??
