Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey
We signed a 6 month lease for a house we were living in. It had ran out and we were living on a month to month. But nothing was signed for the month to month. We bought a house and the landlord knew the situation. does the original lease still apply for repairs and other things, if there was nothing signed?

I am not sure what the purchase of another house has to do with your month to month tenancy in the property where you have a lease. However, when an existing lease converts to month to month, all of the other terms of the lease continue.
Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You will only be able to rely on advice from an attorney who you have actually retained. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
There is a legal answer and a practical answer. The real answer is the practical answer. Regardless of the law, the question is what are you going to do about this? Even if the law is on your side, if the LL takes you to court and you don't have a lawyer, you could have a tough road ahead of you. On the other hand, if you have a lawyer contact the LL, he/she may decide its not worth the fight. Call me at 1-855-9-JEFLAW to discuss further.
