<prompt> Human: So this morning I get a call from someone claiming to be the homeowner of the property I rent saying to not pay rent to the management company since he was unsatisfied with their lack of upkeep to the property. this seems like the wrong thing to do since tenant laws yada yada the lease stays with the house, but what could happen if the homeowner tries to collect a check after Ive paid the management company , and what issues could we be running into, its only month 3 of a 12 month lease. on the flip side having things like the rest of the house updated to 3 prong outlets would be a blessing.tl:dr Homeowner calls says not to pay management company rent because hes unhappy. seems like a bad idea, what to do?Assistant: Who is your signed lease with?Human: the management company this is the first contact weve had with this supposed property ownerI say we, I have a roommateAssistant: then you pay the company and let the homeowner work out his own issues with them.Human: i hate theyre closed today ill call Monday and ask whats up. still going to pay rent and see what happensAssistant: If you keep paying rent the same way your lease requires, nothing bad happens to you.Until you get a written notice to sign a new lease or modification, the current lease is in full effect.Human: could i be required to modify or does my current least stay standing until its over?  <response>: Your current lease is good but all leases allow the address that you pay to to change.But the change of address needs to come from someone with authority, in writing and you have to confirm directly with the current management company.
