Landlord Tenant

Is there a legal form for a tenant at will in the state of Massachusetts?

Is it mandatory in Texas to issue a form for a denial on a rental application? If so, what does it need to state?

My tenant of one year has decided to cancel the 2nd year of our two year lease. I believe this is a breach of contract and I would appreciate more info on this subject. The tenant is a single divorced woman and our relationship has been excellent. I could not believe that she would take such action. She knew that I was undergoing a major back operation which would make any action on my part difficult. Her notice was received by me a few days ago which makes re-renting literally impossible and people are not inclined to make moves during the Christmas season. I would be willing to work with her to delay her departure till June of 2007. I do not know the reason for her action as yet since I am still bedridden but I do know that it is not a job transfer since she does not work.

I gave my 30 day notice in writing and moved out before my 30 days were up. My landlord took possession of the property, put them in a garage, put a pad lock on the garage, and locked me out of my apartment. Can she charge me for the 10 days of rent out of my deposit? I no longer have any way of entry. My lease was a month to month starting from the first to the first.

My daughter and I signed a lease for a college apartment on campus. The lease was a nine-month lease and four payments were to be made in the spring semester. They are contending that if a student leaves, the lease is still binding and the spring rental must be paid. 1. Does a lease have to be recorded to be binding? 2. If the apartment is leased to another person, can they collect rent from both people? 3. If I have to pay the rent, can they make me vacate even though the student is not attending the university if I have paid the rent?
