Did you sign the Assignment Form(which should be picked from Rental Board) with the former lessee and did he or she send this Assignment Form and noticc about thi transform to the landload by registered letter? If he or she have done this, and the landload did not give any reply within 15 days, you have the right to live in this appartment continuously.But if you did not do anything I said above, unfortunately you should move.作者: 孤独一剑 时间: 2004-5-10 21:46
yes,
我和原来的lessee签了assignment form并且是当着landlord的面签的，上面也有landlord的签名, 而且landlord也调查了我的credit history. 这样是否就没有问题了
我应该现在做些什么?
谢谢作者: 孤独一剑 时间: 2004-5-11 10:43

If the apartment has been transferred officially to you, then the former tenant has given all his obligations and rights to you. In other words, the former tenant has no right to renew or not-renew the lease.
Second, if you receive no letter from the landlord before, then the lease is already renewed, automatically !
If you have given all information here about your case, I am sure you can live in this apartment for the next term.
An exception:
If the former tenant told the landlord, before the assignment of the lease, that he/she will not renew the lease, it becomes another story, becuse at that time, the former tenant still had the right to terminate the lease upon the term. Therefore, what he/she informed the landlord is VALID.作者: 孤独一剑 时间: 2004-5-14 17:26
我所遇到的就是你所说的exception的情况
但是我当时并没有被告知他们已经terminate the lease. 他们有内部协议，我怎么会知道呢？
而且landlord和原来一直在欺骗我说我可以renew the lease,请问我现在该怎么办呢？作者: sino000 时间: 2004-5-15 20:01
真的可怕，这里的房东这么坏吗？担忧 ing....作者: VVMM 时间: 2004-5-15 23:59
对你的遭遇很同情, 据我所知, transfer lease有两种, 一种是经房东同意换一下名字, 但是正式的lease还在原先的房客名下, 如果你不付房租, 房东还可以找他; 另一种是通过rental board把前房客的lease买过来, 这不需房东同意, 不过需要花100多的手续费, 但是lease就是你的了.
It's the answer from Lawyer, from legal point of view,
1 Landlord has the right to let you go. You have to move. Unless you could reach an agreement with the landlord.
2 If you go to the court, the former tanent is the one you could sue (not landlord). You could claim all the expense incurred by your moving and let it paid by the previous tanent.
