我不想住了， 找到了想接我lease 的人， 但是房东刁难说，房间状态太糟糕， 拒绝， 想问问， 这合理吗。 该如何回复， (房子， 我接的时候就这这样了， 比较老的lease， 墙壁有些地方(不多)起皮了， 地毯因为时间比较长，比较旧)， 我该如何作呢， 请了解的人， 指点一下， 谢谢

他刁难是不想你搬走？还是要提高租金？你可以不可以跟他商量提前结束租约。

按照规定，你transfer lease, 房东不能反对，但是他有权查接lease的人的credit, 如果不好，可以拒绝

thanks Tigger, actually the landlord doesnot want to continue renting this apt, because the rent is much lower than new ones, so they want to take it back to renew it, then rent it out with high rent.


they told me they can cancel the lease if i want, but the thing is I found the person who wanted to take over the lease, and got an agreement  and deposit from them, I have to pay them back double the deposit if i broke the agreement ( although the landlord told me the agreement is not legal, I donot need to pay them double the deposit, i donot think it is good to break the deal.) I advised the landlord before about transferring my lease, they told me what i should do, but never mentioned about they can cancel my lease if I want.

Now they came to say they will refuse transferring my lease, if I want to do it, I have to pay about 1000$ to fix the apt before I transfer my lease.

by the way, the one who wants to take over my lease has good credit and also they can find co-signer as the landlord requested.

You can call "comitte logement" directly to ask them any questions about housing. It's' their job to help the tenants. I have one number in Notre-Dame west: 514-935-4649. good luck!

First of all, you can not charge any deposit. It is true that your contract with the new person is not legal. The lease transfer is depends on landlord's acceptance. If you didn't sign the official lease transfer agreement(provided by regie du logement). The best way out is to return the deposit and cancel the lease with Landlord. It is your choice to cancel the lease or transfer the lease. Unless you want to fight for the new tenant, which will cost and takes time too.

Lease tranfer is an option when you can not cancel your lease, but  you want to move out. Since landlord agreed to cancel your lease, it is the best choice to cancel it with landlord.
