[QUOTE="Blondie, post: 124217, member: 70"] Also -- You can look up the State Tenant-Landlord (or Landlord - Tenant, depending how it is phrased in your state) Laws in your state. F.e., in my state it is a section of The State Code of Iowa. It's available on the Internet; or ours is in any case. According to one of the attorneys here, nearly all states have their State Codes posted on the Net. And yes, I have been a landlord, both in my own right and jointly/managerially with my late father, after Mother passed in an auto accident in 1985, & my father was unable physically to cope with the properties. Peruse the lease terms very carefully, to make sure that the landlord in your son's case isn't trying to pull a fast one or is just uninformed re your son's rights under this set of circumstances. If he did not sign the original lease, then there is a good cahnce he cannot be held liable for the terms of said lease. In any case, you may want to contact Legal Aid in your area...? Much luck, hon. This can be a mess. difficult child Mia had to break her lease when the area she lived in became alarmingly unsafe (gunfire at night, drug dealers all over, and the like, Yeow!), and we had to pretty much demonstrate to the Property Management/holding company that they weren't dealing with uninformed doormat folks. It worked eventually. Be strong! And best of good luck. Information is power, girl: Go gettem!:smart: *hugs* Blondie, been there done that on both sides of the issue [/QUOTE]
