Good morning and Happy New Year! My son Alex lives in Colorado Springs CO and his landlord (a community) has told him that he must be out of his rental by January 7. They claim that he has not responded to request for remediation of some issues in his apartment. He doesn't feel it would be worth flighting this. The landlord said that if he stays beyond January 7, the sheriff will close the apartment and put him in legal jeopardy, including sending sheriffs to the home. He may have an alternate location but this isn't yet confirmed. My question is what can he do at this point. He has not paid January rent as he is supposed to vacate next week. He will make sure the premises are cleaned before he departs but what obligation (monetarily) is payable in the meantime to discharge any responsibilities on his part. Is there a standard formula in this case? Thank you. ***** Boca Raton FL

The property manager is asking for compensation, but according to the Residental Lease/PM Agreement, I don't believe I need to pay them. The property is not rented because it needs some work & the contractor they wanted to use didn't break down any of the work as we requested on more than 1 occassion so we had to find contractors to do the work. Basically, if we used their contractor, it was clear that they would receive financial compensation. When the property manager (PM) met with my painter, he made the comment that he wish that I would have let him do all the work. My painter mentioned that he got the feeling the PM wasn't happy about meeting with him. The PM sent me this text & I wondered what prompted it & realized that it was sent shortly after he met with the painter & I'm not a lawyer, so I need legal help with review of the Residential Agreement. Text sent to me & my response below: Also, at some point we'll need to discuss compensation for the 45+ hours we have invested in the property thus far. Between our initial proposal that took several hours alone, all the back and forth, mileage, gas, and now meeting with your subs this is taking a lot of time and effort with zero income. Your property could have been done and on the market at least a month ago. Maybe even with a tenant in it by now. I'm not sure how are initial proposal could have been more expensive than hiring all these individual contractors and having property vacant for 2-3 months. Hope you can understand and respect where I'm coming from. We truly have your best interest at heart but nobody wants to work for free. Let's see where everything pans out after property is 100% ready. Thank you and have a great day!Yes, I do understand that no one wants to work for free and I would not ask that of anyone. I'm not sure if the property would have already been rented or even ready because of Matthew's really busy schedule and when we talked about what was already done and what was left which was basically landscaping you had mentioned you were going to go ahead and talk with your contacts. We were willing to use Matthew but there were things that were and were not listed on his landscaping section of the make ready that needed to be addressed in more detailed. I appreciate all that you have done and look forward to going over compensation at your earliest convenience. Take care and have a good day.
JA: Where is this occurring? I only ask because laws can vary by state.
Customer: Texas
JA: Do you have any court dates or documents relevant to this situation?
Customer: there is no court date, the PM sent that text and I don't see according to the agreement I signed that I would owe anything until the property is rented.
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: I don't believe so
