Rachel, in most states, there would be no need for the addendum. It is already assumed that a landlord can provide reasonable notice for eviction – usually 30 days. I don`t know what the reason is to get you out, but I have to imagine that there is more to the story. Most landlords don`t want to get rid of a tenant in the long run. This is a delicate subject because both answers, you have a fight ahead of you that you will lead. To answer directly, a landlord cannot make this change to force you to stop smoking in the apartment without usually changing the lease. You are right that changes can only be made to one common area without changing individual leases. But here`s why it`s a dead-end situation for you. If you fight it, you will probably have a long fight ahead of you, with the result that you still can`t smoke in the common areas and identify yourself as a pain in the neck. In that case, they won`t want to sign a new lease with you anyway. And if you stay until the end of the lease, you will not be able to smoke under the new lease.

In my opinion, you will either have to adapt to the new rules or look for a new place. Or fight a battle that you might win in the short term but always lose in the end. Make sense? I have an unmarried couple living in my California rent, they have been there for 3 years and they currently have a monthly lease. They end their relationship and one of them moves. They were originally qualified for renting together, but for 3 years they are CONSTANTLY late with their rent. Now that the income is reduced, I expect that at some point I will have an eviction that I will have to deal with due to unpaid rent. I`d rather put someone else in the house and finish my collection nightmare. As a result of this change of tenancy, do I have the right to insist that the remaining tenant requalify and/or require an additional deposit? If she is not eligible on her own, can I demand that she move and, if so, do I have to give 60 days` notice, even if they are the ones who changed the tenancy? I would like to give a period of 30 days if possible. In certain circumstances, a landlord would not be required to accede to the request for accommodation.

For example, a landlord may be exempt from the Fair Housing Act and its requirements. According to HUD, other circumstances are: does the original lease mention that the lease can be changed with notice? I live in Blythe, California. On a monthly lease and my landlord tells me to fill out another lease with a set of new rules. One of them is that I have to give a key to my apartment and inspections can now be carried out. As a single woman, I feel so uncomfortable with that. Should I obey? Torrence, it looks like you need a new lease. In the meantime, talk to the owner and see what can be done to return to a „current” state. Let them know that you plan to stay and pay on time, but don`t want to pay the rest of your lease for late fees.

As for the rights he has to charge the late fee if it was on the original lease and your wife is still the principal applicant living in the unit, you will likely pay a late fee because it is due. Remember, this has nothing to do with you personally, the owner tries to make up for the losses and make sure it doesn`t happen again. I ask the owner to constantly apply late fess for this reason. Read this to see it from a different perspective than the guy who has to pay off his new wife`s debts. www.rentprep.com/collecting-rent/rationale-for-collecting-late-rent/ While there are dozens of things a landlord wants to change, it`s important for tenants and landlords to know the right way to introduce a new policy or rule. This can be done, just do it correctly and not in the middle of an ongoing lease. A landlord`s ability to change the terms of a tenancy depends on the tenant`s level of cooperation, the type of tenancy, the terms of the tenant`s lease or lease, and the nature of the change. If it is not specified in the rental agreement, you are not responsible for wearing it. Florida is not a state that requires insurance for the tenant. By the way, here are my thoughts on your situation.

If you plan to stay in this place, you should consider taking out the insurance as you know that you will definitely have to do so in the next lease you sign. .
