In response to Barb's problem, it would probably not be cost-effective for me to represent you (my office is in Phoenix), but I may be able to refer you to someone. Send me a direct e-mail or call my office: 602-255-0101.

We live in MN and have a rental property in Prescott Valley AZ . We are having a horrible time with our new renters. they have only been in our house since Oct. 1st and we already need to begin eviction proceedings. They have bounced the first check and have given us two more bad checks to make up for the first one, and to pay November rent. Are there any real estate lawyers here that can tell me how to get started with this? I have never encountered a problem like this and do not know how to proceed.

Tammy there’s 3 ways a tenant can terminate their legal obligations to the lease during its term:

(1) You can terminate due to legal misconduct on behalf of the landlord

(2) When the landlord legally replaces you with new tenants

(3) And by an agreement with the landlord and the tenant

You can read more about it in the article 'When Can a Tenant Terminate Their Lease Legally?' @ http://nicholasf.wordpress.com/2007/08/10/when-ca…

I just recently moved into a home with a rental agreement of 2 years and when I moved in I had a really good job but due to the economy I got laid off. I have been looking for a job in Arizona. I got a job offer that I can not pass up in a different state. I need to know what I need to do or what is available to break this renal agreement.

I had a hand in reviewing a preliminary draft of the new AAR lease form and recommending additional content before it was finalized this year. The new AAR lease form is a significant improvement. All Arizona real estate practitioners would be well advised to read through the new form and/or take a class on the new form.

Jay,

Even though the standard lease contract has doubled in size, it's a much needed improvement. I have a couple leases to write this weekend, and I'm more than happy to see these changes. The more we have in writing up front, the better both tenant and (new) landlords understand.

You've put together a great set of quick links.
