HOW CAN I AVOID EVICTION? FYI I LIVE IN VEGAS?

Question

Other than the obvious answer....pay your rent, and follow the lease agreement...I am looking for someone who can give me a suggestion *maybe you were in the same boat as me, or your a current landlord*

I am past due on my rent and I received a 3-day notice. If I vacate the premises will I still get "evicted?"

Do most landlords allow you to move out *and have someone take over your lease* and make payments to them for your reminding balance?

Answer 1

I'm a landlord.  If you come and explain your situation to me, i might release you from the rental. If you leave in the middle of the night, i have to go to court to get approval to enter.  You can make it a lot easier on me.  Will you offer anything to break the lease? I have to re-rent it and that costs me time and money. /

Answer 2

Yes, if you vacate, the landlord will most likely proceed with the eviction in order to obtain a money judgment against you.

Most leases forbid subletting unless permission from the landlord is given first.

Answer 3

If you live in Las Vegas you cannot be evicted with a 3-day notice - it is only used for nuisance tenants, not for non payment.  You should have received a 5 day pay or quit notice.  If the notice is a 3 day notice you can call the Las Vegas constable to stop the eviction process until a proper 5 day notice is filed.

Other than that, you may be able to work out a deal with your landlord, but he/she has no obligation to accept any kind of offer you make (accept for paying the rent in full.  That cannot be turned down).

Good luck, I hope this helps.

Answer 4

Since most landlords are in it for the money, it would make sense that they would allow someone else to take over your lease.

(I know I would, as a future real estate investor LOL)
