I need help with my landlord. I need more time on lease and he won't give it! Help?!?
I live in VT. I have rented with my current landlord for 2 years. First was in a studio apartment for a year lease and then I went month to month until I got into the two bedroom apartment with a one year lease. My lease is up August 1st of this year. My fiance and I are going to be moving in August in our new home. Thing is, I told the landlord and he said that we can't go month to month after Augsut 1st. I have NEVER been late and they refuse to let us live there for ONE EXTRA MONTH. My lease now says my residency there terminates once lease is up but last time my lease was up I was able to go month to month. Now that I will no longer be living in the complex he says that wecan't go month to month. Do I have the legal right to just stay one more month? Technically, if I stay, I don't need to pay for August rent because I paid the last month's rent when I first got the place last year. Do you have any websites that would have that info because I can't find one?

If I were in your shoes I would just get to July 1 and then tell him in writting that you will be moving Aug 1. Lease or not in most areas you must be give a thirty day eviction notice if he intends to kick you out. So with 45 days to go just get to July 1 then you are in a thiry day window.

You have no right to stay after your lease ends and your landlord cannot be forced to let you stay. Nor does your landlord, as wrongly stated above, have to give you any sort of 30 day notice.
Of course, the process of eviction can take several weeks at least. So, if you didn't move out, by the time the landlord was able to enforce his rights, take you to court and then get the Sheriff to evict you, it would be several weeks later and you would have moved out on your own.
You'll end up paying at least an extra month's rent, the landlord's legal fees and court costs, but you'll have a place to live.
