 I rent a house in San Diego. We had a home invasion robbery and don't feel safe. Can we break our lease? |
Is a home invasion robbery reasonable grounds to break a residential lease? It was very real with masked gun men, a full police response and report.
Thanks.... |

Sarah S | "Utilities included" question? |
So I sublet an apartment for a month from someone. The ad for this apartment said "utilities included." She moved out, I moved in, things were peachy.
Yesterday, I found a post it on my bedroom door from another roommate that the gas bill was due. My understanding is that the girl who I sublet from should pay this, but I feel really awkward calling her up about it because we didn't really discuss utilities at all.
So, I geuss my question is, if you were in my position, judging by that ad, would you assume that I was supposed to contact her to pay this bill? |

Yes I would contact her. There easily could have been a misunderstanding as to what utilities were included, but if that is what was advertised then you should not be responsible for it. This is something hopefully you both can learn from and make sure you "iron" out all of the details before assuming things. Good luck and hopefully it all works out. |

If the ad said utilities included, put a post it on your roommate's door and tell her that her old roommate is paying the utilities according to the ad for the sublet. Then call the one you subletted from and get it straight. Try to have a copy of the ad available and stand your ground. Hopefully it's a misunderstanding. . . |

You should have gotten that all straigtened out with her and the other roommates before . I would say, though that the remaining roommates should have gotten the money from her and since they didn't you shouldn't have to pay for any portion from before you moved in. That's the other roomies problem. If there is any portion of the covered period where you were living there, you should pay that ratio |

do you have something in writing or did you save the original ad? if so...you can show it to the others...and tell this was your agreement....it will also help in case theyd decide to take you to court.
good luck |

There could be a couple of things going on here. One thing could be that the room mate is on a different payment arrangment than you are, and doesn't realize it.
Also, "Utilities Included" sounds like it should include all utilities, but many people mean that "some utilities included" like maybe the water, garbage and electricity are paid but the gas, cable and telephone are not.
However, the girl is gone and you probably have no recourse through her, unless you pay the lease money to her and then she pays for you. And the truth is, it is not what the ad said, it is what the agreement is with the lease and roommates to pay the lease.
If you signed a lease, then it is whatever the lease said that you signed. If you didn't sign any agreement then it is whatever the lease that was signed with the owner. You have to be careful in these sublease situations. In some cases, subletting is okay, and you have all the rights of a tenant. But many times, people come into "sublease" but sign no agreement because the owner does not allow subletting. So if you kick a stink, you can be evicted for being an unauthorized tenant.
Read whatever written agreement you have very carefully, then contact your local legal aid or renter's organization. Try to get clarified what your legal status is, and what your rights are. |

Last I knew, gas is a utility. She should pay. |

Call her and tell her she needs to pay it or the contract is cancelled. |

She needs to pay the utilities if that was your agreement. |
