How do I get my security deposit back if I must move because of damage from a disaster? If you intend to remain in or return to the home once repairs are made, you must continue paying rent. You may have the right to reduce the rent in proportion to damage caused Read your lease for terms about rent reduction because of property damage.Ifyoumustvacateaportionofyourhome duetothedamage,yourrentshouldbereducedfor thelossofuseofthepartofthehome.
Does my lease automatically end if my rental home has significant damage or was completely destroyed?No. A lease ends only when you or your landlord provides written notice to the other to terminate the lease. If your rental home is uninhabitable,youshouldbeabletoterminateyour lease. Read your lease for the conditions necessary for the rental to be considered uninhabitable and theamountofnoticeyoumustprovidethelandlord. Also, check for a provision stating where notice to the landlord must be sent, as it often differs from where you send rent payments. If your lease does not have terms about termination because of uninhabitability or you do not have a written lease, you should still send a notice of termination or you may be responsible for charges under the lease Send notice of termination to the landlord by certifiedmail,returnreceiptrequested.Keepacopy of the notice for your records in case the landlord triestomakeaclaimagainstyou.
