I did what you said but the landlord is holding me responsible for payment of some of the back rent; can my landlord do this?
It depends:
If you terminated by a "Dissolution of Lease" and both you and your landlord sign a reinstatement agreement, the landlord would be paid and the lease and HUD contract would continue under the original terms. In this situation we would pay the landlord.
If you terminated at the end of your lease, then the unit must pass inspection before we can execute a new HUD contract and pay the Landlord. You would be liable for any rent between the time you terminated the old contract and the time a new contract took effect.
