If they are under a term lease, you can't change the terms until it expires. If they are under a month-to-month lease, then you can change the terms with a 30-day written notice.

@Nathan Gesner @Theresa Harris

 thank you very much, I want to do it when the lease term is up.

My main concern  is, people pay more rent because they have the heat paid by the landlord, so if I will put the heat cost on them, can I legally force it on them by the new lease term with the old rent (and even maybe putting an annually increase)  ?

HI everybody

I have a multifamily with 1 gas boiler and landlord pays the heat, I want to divide the heat and have installed a boiler for each apartment and change the lease term so the tenant should be responsible, what is the proper legal way to do it if any?

TAHNK YOU

HI ALL

I HAD LEASED AN APARTMENT A MONTH AGO, AND NOW THE TENANT WANTS ME TO RENT AN ADDITIONAL ROOM IN BASEMENT, WE BOTH AGREE TO REWRITE THE WHOLE LEASE FOR AN ADDITIONA $100 FROM $1200 TO $1300, HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT THIS TO DISQUALIFY THE OLD LEASE?

    THANK YOU

@Adrian Orgill after I spoke to the tank removal company and they said that they do not think it will be an issue I did close with a $10,000 escrow from seller, and thank god everything was good.

(but 1 problem, i needed to fix the landscaping, it is a good idea to write in contract that seller will be responsible for that)

    GOOD LUCK

Hi Sami, I have been having same issue at one of my buildings in CT I tried warning the tenants several times about the clutter in common spaces, when that didn’t work I decides to post this notice directly on there belongings:

NOTICE

Tenants are responsible for storing all of their property in their units. To ensure the safety of all residents and maintain the appearance of common areas, all items left in common areas will be disposed of without notice after the date above.( I would then write a date at the top of the notice about a week out from when I post these)

After this date I plan on storing their belongings for 30 days in a neighboring building. If I do not hear anything by the end of those 30 days I will dispose of anything that is left.

Please feel free to use this:

I hope this helps

Thank you, sounds good. just wondering if this is 100% legal ? (this is the type of tenant that is always busy saying that they know their rights...)
