How do I put the rental agreement in my name?

Questioner

I live with my partner. We both signed the lease. However, our relationship has broken down. I would like to stay in the house and can afford this financially. My ex cannot afford this financially and will therefore have to leave. However, she does not want to sign, to have the contract put in my name. Because she does not want to leave the house because she says she has nowhere else to go. However, there is a lot of arguing, which makes the situation no longer tenable in this way.

Lawyer

Good afternoon, This is an unpleasant situation for you, which unfortunately occurs often. Because I gather from your story that both persons are on the lease, you, but also your ex-partner, are contractual co-tenants. If you cannot agree on who will continue to live in the house, you will have to go to court. The judge will weigh up the interests, with the following outcome: one of you may continue to live in the house, or both of you will not get the house. Please feel free to contact us without obligation to discuss your case or if you need help with the procedure. Kind regards, Silvienne Leito FerLei Legal 0649175526
