(California) leasing company wants to charge me a $300 move out fee

Hello, I’m renting a privately owned townhouse from a lovely couple but the leasing company they went through is trying to scam me (I believe). My lease is up November 1st, and my housemate found another person to move in. The couple who owns the property contacted me and informed me that there is $600 new tenet fee, $300 paid by me (who is moving out) and the owners. I’ve rented at many places and after reviewing my lease there are no papers reflecting this charge. This has nothing to do with fixing damage as the owners also have to pay. I’m not breaking the lease either, so I’m just confused as to how this is legal. I don’t have a lawyer but when I call them I want an idea of what I should say. Has anyone heard of a “new tenet fee” after a lease ends?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
