Breach Of Lease Terms
Summary
A lease remains valid after the property owners death, and the successor must honor its terms. Non-disclosure of a conflict of interest by the defendant can impact their defense. Affirmative defenses include good faith, no harm, and independence. If the defendant has not acted in good faith, it strengthens your case for breach of contract. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation
Yes, I had been living in the rental for 5 years when his mom died, and because he's the beneficiary should have stepped in as my landlord. He did not by negligently assuming I did not have any rights.
It sounds like you might have a case for breach of contract, especially if you have documentation of your lease agreement and any communications that clarify the obligations.
A few key points to consider:
- The lease agreement remains valid even after the property owner's death.
- The beneficiary (new landlord) is obligated to honor the terms of the existing lease.
Do you have any correspondence or proof that you informed the new landlord about your lease?
