My question is I have gone from a rent to own
Sent to Legal Experts May 05 01:09 AM

My question is I have gone from a rent to own house to just renting they said they had to draw up a new lease and never did. does that make the lease null and void and puts it into a month by month lease? and can they charge me a late fee if I was a month late on rent after the rent has been dropped?

You are now on a month to month tenancy. If in your previous contract a late fee was imposed for late payments then that would transfer over by virtue of you still being in this place and therefor any lat rent now and in the future would be subject to any late fees. Under a month to month tenancy where there is no lease either party can cancel the tenancy with a 30 day written notice to the other party. If the owners decide at some point to cancel your tenancy you will still owe any rent due for that last month.

Good luck. If you have any other related questions please let me know. If you found this answer helpful please accept so I can continue to help others like you in the future. Thank you.
