Post: 5 YEAR-LEASE AGREEMENT

Posted by Elisabeth on 7/02/08
I have a 5 year lease in Las Vegas. I have lived here for 2 years to date. My landlord passed away in January. His kids inherited the property. In turn they sold it in June, and the new landlord wants us out because he purchased the home as a flip house, and had to sell it within 90 days. My new landlords argument is that my original landlord added his 3 kids 1 month before the lease was signed as 2nd party to the deed; that all 3 kids and landlord (Bob) would have had to sign the lease for it to be legal. All his kids lived out of the state of Nevada. Bob the landlord lived right across the street from the rental I am in. The landlord had a mortgage on the property that HE paid monthly plus taxes and insurance. The kids never came to inspect the property in those 2 years. The new landlord said the old landlord would have needed power of attorney from the kids. That if we went to court the lease agreement will not stand. The new landlord said the old landlord could not enter in to contract with us unless it had the kids signatures or power of attorney from them My question is: Can only one signature by the original landlord serve as agent for all of them on the lease? Would this lease be binding with only the one signature? Thanks in advance for the help. Elisabeth
