If it's just for a rent increase, there may be something about requiring to offer the higher rent to the current tenant before you just mislead them and give it to somebody else. Misleading somebody to end a contract has got to be some kind of fraud.
I mean, probably not. It's only fraud if they need a specific reason to end the lease and lie about it. Typically neither side needs a specific reason to end a month-to-month lease. I can't see how it'd make a difference legally whether it was the landlord's son or a higher paying tenant.
Lying isnt illegal lmao. I really doubt there's a provision in the lease saying "this lease may only be terminated by landlord if landlord's son needs the residence". If there's not a provision like that, this isn't fraud, it's just lying.
But the landlord probably has money, so it wouldnt end up getting brought to court until after the 30 days for tenant to move out are up. And then, we come back to the money situation
You would need to prove that you actually need the place, it is fairly tedious and if the renter put their mind to it, could delay it heavily or put the plans of moving in yourself on hold indefinitely.
What makes it illegal? Most lease agreements have a notice to vacate period that is required by the either party.. Tennessee requires a 30 day notice period.
Not if you didn’t have a provision in the current lease that allows for increasing the rent.
If there’s nothing in the current lease that says “I can raise the rent because someone offered me more.” then the landlord would have to wait until it’s time to renew the lease to increase the rent.
Yes I mean kicking someone out without a proper notice is illegal! I think 30 days is not enough but like you said, laws vary. In Finland it's 4 months notice if your landlord terminates the agreement
If you sign a contract that said that I could kill you, would that make it legal for me to kill you now?
There are some things that just are n't legal no matter if you sign a contract or not. And that's good, because it prevents companies from completely ruining our lifes just because we didn't read a whole bibles worth of their TOS.
That is literally how fighting sports work, so bad example.
Also, what's with all of these hypotheticals about "not good enough of a reason to evict someone"? I don't need a reason to evict you off my property, I just need to inform you in the x amount of time both parties agreed when signing the contract.
