previous landlord asks for help, new tenants are scum?
Responsible family rented house for 3 years (thats us), left with minimal damage, Inspection completed by landlady’s father with subsequent damage report, all parties in agreement, whatever we couldn’t repair, we paid for. <100$ in damage. Next tenants have trashed the house, they were squatting, references lied, >7000$ in damage. She has requested we sign a paper stating that this part of the house was in this good repair, and that part was well maintained, and so on and so forth. The letter is full of spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, with vague, generalized descriptions. Not very factual. Lots of red flags, if by signing this do i leave myself open to future litigation. Can the tenants go after me if I sign this (landlady trying to get checks guarenteed from those tenants) Am I damned if I don’t, damned if I do? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Technically if you have reached the full term of your lease agreement and have satisfied all the terms of the lease agreement then you are not bound by any law nor have obligation to the landlord. I’m sure the landlord is asking for your benevolence in helping to get these dirt bags out. It’s basically a favor from you to the landlord. If you like the landlord and want to help then don’t worry about being liable for anything. You are in the clear.
The best thing to do is rewrite it in a legible and grammatically correct form. The body of the letter is merely that you are witness to the fact that the house was left in good condition on your departure and subsequent damages are due to the new tenants inability to maintain the property. Make sure you have documentation signed by the landlord stating that you left the property in good standing and in good condition upon vacating the premises and that you (meaning all who occupied the premises) cannot in anyway be held liable for damages occurring after the termination of your lease or after the date on which you and your landlord reached agreement on your departure.
The landlord is merely trying to prove that the damage was not there prior to the new tenants moving in and you may be the only witness to that fact. The tenants may be claiming that the damage was there already and trying to disclaim any responsibility to the damage. You can in fact if you want ask the landlord to issue you compensation for your time and effort in providing this legal document which you and your landlord should also have signed by notary. The landlord will use this document to file a notice to vacate, insurance claim for damages or criminal complaint against the tenants for vandalism. Either/Or you are the witness.
This will in effect not only release you from any liability to the former property but show your good standing as a tenant for future rental agreements. Make sure you have several copies for everyone.
