Hi
A friends landlord signed them up for a 2 year lease which was up 12 months ago. They continued living in the house and paying rent (which was increased at the end of the 2 years) but now due to financial circumstances they can't afford the rent. They did not resign a lease after 2 years. That being the case I said I thought that they would only have to give them 1 months notice to leave. He's giving them a hard time and says that they have to stay for remainder of the 2 years because they verbally accepted a rent change etc after the last lease was up. Is this true?
Hes even refusing to negotiate or lower the rent so they're very worried.
Thanks
Lara
