Forum / State Landlord Tenant Law / Listing our House before Lease is Finished
Can anyone help me with this? We used the ezlandlord form for our lease, and I can't find anything on there about if we can list our home before the lease is up. The tenants are signed on until October 1 2013, and we'd like to list this spring now that our market has bounced back to where we need it to be. Are we legally OK to list, and if it sells, what are the terms for them to move out? Any advice is helpful, thank you!

RE: Listing our House before Lease is Finished
You can certainly list it, and if it sells, the new owners take over the lease until October 1, 2013. Once that lease is over, the tenants can move out and the buyer can move in. Or, you can offer "cash for keys" meaning give the tenants a cash payout in order for them to break their lease. But they don't have to agree to that.

Feature Spotlight: Why do I need A Lease Package?

Those basic leases you can find in office supply stores or buy from online vendors can look appealingly cheap and easy, but chances are, they don't meet all of the legal requirements for binding leases in your state. If you entrust your rental unit to a stand-alone lease, you may not be fully protected, especially if you wind up in court with your tenant over a contract dispute.

By using our exclusive Lease-Builder Wizard with State Assist, you'll get unmatched convenience, peace of mind, and protection for not much more than other sites charge for a generic lease.
