Re: no lease
This is a difficult situation.
(1) You must make sure the new man is the owner. This can be done at the county registry office.
(2) If the new man is the owner, then you do owe the back rent. BUT you can negotiate with him for a smaller amount of money.
A lawyer can be very helpful in negotiating. This is what lawyers do.
