Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
Wondering if I have a valid lease.
Hello. I live in a side by side duplex.
The person that lives on the other side
began the purchase process of the
house from the owner last August. I
signed a lease with him that was
supposed to begin October 1st 2006.
My rent was raised $200 a month when
that happened. He was turned down by
the bank and had to go through the
whole process two times before he
purchased the house. He did not really
own the house until mid December. I
was on a month to month lease with the
original owner, so he had to give me
back the $400 difference that I had
given him in rent. I was just wondering
if that lease is still binding or if a new
one with the real dates of his ownership
should be drawn up. I am interested in
moving and am totally willing to give
him notice that I want to leave, but I am
wondering if I am still bound to that
lease.

Re: Wondering if I have a valid lease.
If you are stating that you have a montht to month lease then all that is required for you to leave is to give notice, you should give on month's notice, and then move on... However, you must check your lease, whether it is valid or not, to see what terms it has regarding you leaving the apartment as it may be cause for litigation.
