A renter may change terms of the contract only if the landlord agrees, she said. Changesmust be made to all copies of the contract, and initialed by the landlord and renter. The landlord can ask a person to move out without reason, raise the rent or make other changes as long as a one-month notice is given. As long as you follow the rules of the lease, you cannot be forced to move out, and rent cannot be raised until the lease has ended. For example, if the lease allows, the landlord can enter the apartment and seize personal property such as sports equipment or furniture and sell them to pay back rent.
Leases often forbid anyone to stay in an apartment unless they are named in the lease.
If subleasing is allowed, you are still responsible for the rent being paid on time. You must provide move-out notice in writing. A lease cannot be terminated before it expires. The security deposit can be a cleaning and damage deposit, and some leases may include the last month's rent. This section spells out penalties when tenants are late paying their rent.
