He will definitely be sued. When a lease expires and it is not renewed it automatically puts things into a month by month contract. |

yes they probably will sue. if he didn't renew his lease, it automatically becomes a month to month lease, in which case he still has to give a 30 day notice before he can move out. |

You need to read the lease that he signed. Even though it is no longer in effect, many times the lease will say that if you don't renew the lease, the terms in the original lease stay in effect until one or the other party gives proper notice. That means that rent is still due and that they can sue him for it. |

Not only does your friend owe for the three months of rent that accrued once the lease ended, he/she might owe more. Leases make it possible to keep a fixed rent, the owner knows you are going to be a good tenant staying for a set term and therefore agrees to let the renter live a fixed rent. When the lease is up the owner has the option to increase the rent. And your friends rent might have gone from $1200.00/mth to $1300.00 (example). In addition, your friend is going to have a more difficult time finding a new place now that he/she has damaged their rental history.
And to put icing on the cake, the owner might sue for interest, as well as keep the deposit $ for the slightest damage.
Bum move man. |

If there is no written lease, he's automatically on a month-to-month tenancy unless the original lease says otherwise. Some leases automatically renew if no notice is given.
At any rate, he owes for the rent and should count on being sued AND evicted. As a former landlord, I'm surprised he hasn't been evicted yet -- if he were my tenant he'd already be gone! |

he has no defense to say he left and was never there because
the electricity and phone and cable are still connected,
he owes the money |

He better pack his bags because the landlord will and can evict him for non payment of rent, along with ruin his credit and place a judgement on his credit. Just because his lease expired doesn't mean he's not legally bound by it any more, he's just considered a tenant at will and a month to month tenant, the landlord can give 30 days notice to vacate, however, I'm surprised the LL hasnt' placed a 7 day notice to cure along with a three day notice to cure or vacate.
If your friend doesn't want to find himself in court being sued for the $3600 along with legal fees and court costs then he better pay up. He can't just leave and not pay it'll put a lien on his credit and it will follow him whereever he goes preventing him from renting any where else. |

Most standard leases have clauses in them stating that the lease will automatically renew unless you give notice to vacate. Read the lease agreement!
He is very lucky to still be there. I would have evicted him after the first payment was due. |

In PA if you don't sign a new lease it goes into a month to month. You still owe rent each month and you can be sued if you don't pay it. If you get sued it cost you not only the rent but court cost. Best to pay up to date even if you are leaving. |

Morally he should pay them for the time he stayed there!
That's essentially stealing! |

he still was in the place the lease was only to protect both parties as to the price and time of his/her stay in the unit
he will most likly be sued and lose plus cost of court and or attn fees if it was in the org lease |

When you don't sign a continuing lease, your rent continues at the same dollar amount and with the same stipulations on move-out.....such as one month notice. He cannot get by without paying. If he runs, they will first try a collection agency, then they will sue. And then there will be all kinds of processing and administration fees. The bill will triple, at least. |

If he were my tenant -
he would have been escorted out 2 mos ago by a couple of sherriffs.
If the landlord has let it go that far...........they are clueless.
He actually owes 4 mos worth. He hasnt given notice and hasnt been evicted.
Maybe the landlord will lose the property to foreclosure since he hasnt paid the mortgage. He sounds like a professional loser. |
