Question by mtn_frog: Do I need to claim rental income when a family member moves into my house and pays me “rent”?
My son and his family moved into my house with me when he lost his house in foreclosure. We refinished the basement and I moved in there. He has been paying $ 1400/month to me to help with household expenses, repairs, and property taxes. I am not really “renting” for profit. He and his family would not have anywhere to live and I would not be able to keep the house without his help. I am retired and have small income (about $ 20,000/yr) from a part time job. Thank you.

You’re probably supposed to, but I don’t think it’s a big deal not to. When it’s family moving in, there are no binding contracts, etc… you’re helping out a family member. I think doing it ‘under the table’ is fine. Like you said, your home is not an investment property used as a rental, you just have family living with you helping with your expenses. Good luck!

Question by : what does it mean when a house is advertised as “break lease”?
i was looking at rentals on the internet and one was advertised as a break lease. does this mean there is no minimum to how long your lease can be. eg: we could live there for 2 months and just give notice when we are leaving ??

Best answer:

Answer by nojam75
I think the advertiser means that the current tenant is breaking the lease and needs someone to take over the lease. The liable tenant may be willing to offer concessions to whoever takes over the lease.

Question by wild bill: Renting a “for sale” house?
I am looking to rent a house for a year. There are not too many houses for rent in my area but there are a lot of houses for sale. Does anyone know if realtors/private sellers are open to renting instead of selling?

Best answer:

Answer by Ryan M
That depends on the seller…ASK THEM. I am sure at least one person in the country is open to the idea.

Question by wassapb6: What does a “rent-lease” mean? (house)?
If there is a required 1 year rent lease does it mean that you can only stay in the rented house for one year or does it mean you have to pay rent by a year’s worth amount instead of monthly pays? If it’s not any of those terms, let me know thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Kristen
it means you sign a contract forcing you to stay in the house for a year. you usually pay by the month. once your year is up, you will have to option to sign the lease again for another year..

Question by Sarah: Can I “Rent” a house from my husband?
My husband and I have never owned a home, and he is really tired of renting; he wants to buy a house. I, on the other hand, get panic attacks at the thought of home-ownership—I have a gypsy sense of wanderlust and really get depressed, irritable, and furious when I feel “trapped” in one place for too long. I have quit jobs in the past that I ENJOYED, simply because I could not handle doing the same thing every day, being the same person ALL THE TIME. (I am seeing a therapist for this, and taking meds for the panic attacks, and we hope to get me to a point where I can cope with, accept, and finally even embrace permanence and consistency.)
In the meantime—is there any way my husband can buy a house, and have me sign a renter’s agreement or something to get the loan? I have better credit than he does, and make more money, so I don’t think he can get the house without me—but I really can’t handle having the house be in my name.

I have read about joint tenantship and things like that, but everything I have found seems to apply to non-married people. Would this be under real estate law or family law?

Best answer:

Answer by Caveat Emptor
No. If your husband wants to buy in his name alone, fine. But then he can’t use your income, credit or a sham “rental” to qualify for a loan.
