Would it be weird to have my mom turn in my application?

Can you turn your apartment lease over to someone?

• My sister has an apartment in New York City & I was planning on moving out of my mom's house by next summer & my sister was planning on moving to Atlanta. So I was wondering when she leaves NYC would she be able to turn her lease over to me or would I have to go through the long application process?

• Answer:

  i am glad you qualified your query the key element for law is not "can anyone move in and out of an apartment without having a lease in their name.........that is NO" the key element is "may I continue to pay my sister's rent payment without going through the process of seeking a new lease?" YES you may! The LL does not want to know where she is, you are or anything -anyone else; what the LL needs is TWO things; a quietly occupied unit where the rent is paid 2-3 days before rent is due but on time is ok too. that no damage BY THE occupant occurs..........if an appliance breaks, the LL has the right to know and get it repaired. ON the final day of your lease, return for the exit walk-through [and make sure SISTER informs the LL IN WRITING, 60 days before the lease expires, that she is vacating the unit. Have her send the notice by certified mail. NO other comments or explanations are needed or sought.] sign off on the walk through and leave. of course, the LL wants to know where to send the deposit within 15 days.
