Also pretty nice that you do that, but one thing I would recommend is immediately not allow any landlords that require such evil practices and be banned from your system.
- mertd 5y agoWhat is the evil practice?
- unanswered 5y agoWell, it's either requiring rent to be paid throughout the entire lease term or not allowing leases to be randomly transferred to unqualified tenants. Does it really matter at that point which one GP meant?
- hammock 5y agoA lease is a contract where you agree to pay throughout the entire term. That's evil? Most municipalities at least in the USA also have tenant-friendly laws on that books that mandate either or both of: a) landlords are disallowed from refusing reasonable sublease (e.g. one that passes the same credit check etc that you did) b) landlords must release you from the remainder of a lease if you leave and a reasonably suitable replacement tenant is found
