no lease

10-26-2006, 10:14 AM

I signed a lease on my apartment and fulfilled its year term. I needed a shorter term lease and negotiated that with a rent increase, but never signed a lease. I need to move out now, before that negotiated but unsigned lease is up. Can my landlords hold me liable when we have no signed lease for this year?

They can try to argue an oral agreement was reached on a short term solution but it will be their word against yours...and the details of the arrangement were perhaps not clear to everybody involved so that could help you.
