Landlord and lease question?

There is no proof that you gave the landlord notice except your account of the events of trying to give your landlord written. You could testify in court about these events but the simpler method here is to send your landlord a CERTIFIED LETTER, either written or typed or word processed, that states that you are giving notice of the beginning of the 90 day notice period. Your landlord is acting as if he has not received any notice of your intent to move in 90 days. The length of the leases is not a critical issue here, but rather the time required before moving out. The intent of these notice periods is to give the landlord an opportunity to find a new tenant for your apartment by the time you move out. Some states require longer periods of notice for longer leases, but the time requirement of the notice is the critical issue here. The 90 day time period does not start until you landlord is served with your notice to move out in 90 days. The giving of notice also terminates the remaining time in the lease, so you should not be required to pay for time in excess of the 90 days following the time you give notice. SEND YOUR LANDLORD A CERTIFIED LETTER RIGHT AWAY. If you have paid last months rent as part of your rental agreement you can apply it for the last month. That's what the last month's rent charge is all about!!! If you paid this extra charge twice, once for each lease you should be allowed to apply this extra charge to both of the last months: September and October. I hope you find this information helpful and useful.

Hi, I had a problem with my landlord as well and it is a similar issue. I have read the Landlord-Tenant code a few times, at least the areas that I needed and I think I might be able to help. I would suggest that you read your state's Landlord-Tenant code as well as your lease and see what they state about moving out. You do not have to find another tenant unless it says so in your lease, however, you would have to give 30 days notice and since you did not give 30 days notice, it seems, then they could require you to pay the next month's rent, even though you will be not be living there. In that time if they find another renter then you are prorated back the portion of your monthly rent, but make sure you find out when someone else moves in. In that time they should be able to find another renter and if they cannot then it is no longer your issue since you would have given them 30 days notice. The key here is the 30 days notice not the find another renter because the 30 days notice is required and I cannot believe that finding another renter would be required. Make sure you read all the documents and see what your lease and the Landlord-tenant code says in your state. You can find the code on the internet or through your state government website search engine, usually. I hope this helps and feel free to contact me with any more questions. Good Luck!
