Lease renewal options for residential properties, mates girlfriends mom is realestate agent and wants me out?
im currently renting a house with 2 mate, we all signed a lease for six months, and its coming to an end in a few weeks. thing is one of my ‘mates’ girlfriend is the realestate agent. me and him haven’t been getting along that well and now he wants to renew the lease with out me and get one of his other friends in. sept this place is the only place i can rent, i have no other options. the other guy on the lease doesn’t want to get involved. so pretty much i want to know if the guy who wants me out can get his girlfriends mom the realestate agent to renew the lease without me in it? we all went equal halfs in the bond so what will happen to that? also how long do i have to get out if the lease is terminated?
I’d suggest you find another place. Unless you’re in a rent controlled area, I doubt you have many rights when it comes to lease renewal. The least of your problems is the place you’re living; your bigger problem is the quality of life you’re living with in your current environment.
Negotiate with them to return your share of the security deposit and any last month rent in return for your agreement to find another property. Your current lease has a date on it though it may be a "term" as opposed to a specific date. Yes, you need to read it since it may give you other rights I’ve not considered.
I know moving isn’t fun, but neither is being in an adversarial position with roommate.
Good luck

they don’t need the "mom" why involve her..
go and read the law……….yourself..
when the "lease is over" it is over..
you want to renew the lease…then talk to the owner..if the owner is the "mom" then your probably out..
if the owner is neutral……then you may have a chance to renew..
but you state your situation is "shakey"……
you have 2 people that are taking a chance with you when your "shakey"..and you rock the boat with them..
i just don’t get..it …………….. someone gives you a break and you just got to..not show any "appreciation" at all…….
buy yourself a tent……..and a mirror..then when you need someone at your "level" to fight with you can look in the mirror..
you just can’t
"appreciate" your friends when they give you a break..

I am a real estate agent and a landlord. As a real estate agent I can not ‘get someone off the lease’ just because I don’t like them, unless it is my property. If have been paying the rent on time, not causing a disturbance, kept the apartment in good shape, then you should not have a problem keeping the lease the way it is, you as a tenant. Sounds like your friend might lose money if he loses you as a tenant, he would have to find someone soon so he is not out your share of the rent. The mother/agent, don’t worry about her, she has no strings to pull.
