I have a lease dispute question.

Posted on by

I have a lease dispute question. I signed a 1 year lease for my business and was allowed to move my desks in 1 month early. The economy tanked and with it my business. I went to notify not renewing my lease and was told I’m too late, you moved your desks a month early and the lease backdated and reuped another year. I did not pay rent for that month and it is not included in the 1 year lease. I didn’t give my notice and it says the lease auto renews in this 1 and a half page lease. Have to close business and can’t afford lease, I didn’t resign anything and have read in some states it goes month to month with no new signature, is that right? I live in South Dakota. I can’t find where to apply for hardship either. I have no job or money and the job I will have to take is 69 miles from the office. I already lost the business because I was not allowed to move to a cheaper office and my house is next followed by my law enforcement dream. Is what he did right and can I file for hardship? Thank you

contract for deed, past due letter
contract for deed payment is in arrears. I need a Legal Demand letter to have the people pay in full or vacate. I wanted to evict and was advised that I need to have a letter sent from an attorney with the proper verbage. Can you help me locate the letter without the use of an attorney? Thank you.

quick claim deed
A business was sold to two persons, contract for deed. They are delinquent on payment. One has signed a quick claim deed to the other to get out of the contract. The original owner(who issued the CFD) was not notified. Is this legal?
There is no real estate involved, just a restaurent business with all equipment.

Rented property not ready for tenants – tenants refund was denied
Property rented for $2,000 for one week via on-line viewing and mail sight unseen from real estate company. Property rented for 9 people from CA. Tenants, owners are from CA. Property in South Dakota. Tenants notified real estate company of expected arrival time. Property found unsanitary, notified RE company. RE agent came to property, agreed with unsanitary conditions. Tenants took video tape of dead bugs on bedding. RE agent indicated that didn’t have the owners permission to hire cleaning person. Tenants left property and rented motels rooms for 5 days 40 miles away. Tenants met with RE agent next day and asked for refund. RE agent contacted owner in CA who refused to give refund. Owner refused to speak to tenants. RE agent wrote letter and gave to tenant explaining unsanitary conditions and said she ”assumed the property weould be ready for tenants”. RE company advertised property for rent while our rental agreement was still in effect.

Do we have a case for small claims court? What are our chances of winning? Do we have to file in South Dakota or can we file in CA? Do we have to go to South Dakota for the court date?
