Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada

Another Lease Agreemnt?

I have lived in the same apartment foe eight years now, and have signed lease agreements all eight years. I am looking to buy a home,but need to know if I sign a year -long lease with apartments, and move early, am I liable for cancelling the agreement early, or because of my many years there, am I even bound to signing a lease agreement? After that length of time, should'nt my leases be on a month to month basis?

HELP,

Re: Another Lease Agreemnt?

A lease is a contract so both parties have to agree to the terms. The tenant does not get any special rights by the duration of the tenancy-at least not in Nevada. You and your landlord can agree to a year lease, month to month or another term. You could put as a condition in a year lease that you will not be penalized for the term of the lease upon giving 30 days notice once you find a property you will purchase.

If you sign it, you are responsible. Why not ask for a short term, or month to month lease?
