So, we have a man who we adopted into our family years ago. So he is my "adopted brother".
He has had a second stroke and has only been out of the hospital a week. Before this he wanted to take care of business because he was worried about his future. So he gave me DPOA. We have moved him into a rental house on the property to assist him, and be there for him. He has a house two hours away, but he cannot go live there anymore due to his new condition. He has a lease until October. I was wondering if it is possible for me to get him out of his lease because of the recent medical situation. Hoping someone has an idea to advise me, I am going to call tomorrow and speak to his landlord, so I am trying to prepare for it.
Thank you.
I am sorry I did not know for certain what to post this under
I gave his 30 day notice and she asked if she could go ahead and put it back on the market, I said yes please, the sooner the better.
I am getting everything together to go move his belongings ( a 4 hour trip)and at the same time completing some things on the house he will be living in.
So much to do and I will be glad when it is done.
Thank you all for your responses, this case is closed. :)
I would tell the landlord that he is a danger to himself living alone and he doesn't have the money to pay for the term of his lease and live with assistance.
Send a letter that says the same thing and that the letter is notice to vacate the premises. Do this return receipt.
Is there any way to find out when the house is rented or leased out? This would be important if the landlord tries to enforce the entire lease payment. They can only recover actual lost income, so if you notify him that as of July 1st or June 25th that your brother will be completely gone and he rents it out August 1st then he only lost 1 month, if there wasn't a deposit. Is that clear as mud?
My experience has been that individual landlords are easier than corporations to deal with, corporations forget they are dealing with people and unpredictable life.
I had a friend who got out of a lease because she couldn't walk up the stairs. Doctor's notice said that her arthritis was not good and navigating those stairs were not good for this condition.
