Do I HAVE to Give 60 days Notice to Landlord?
I signed a 12 month lease in Houston and have lived in the house for 2 years. Now the lease is month-to-month and we are ready to move out. The only problem is the lease agreement says I need to give 60 days notice to the landlord. I realize that I signed the lease but I'm wondering if the law in Texas prevents my landlord from requiring that much notice? I thought it could only be 30 days at most! Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Even though your lease has expired, it's terms and conditions remain in place.
Texas law allows the landlord to require a 60 day notice.

If you signed a lease and are now month to month the same rules apply that are stated in your lease. If it says you have to give 60 days notice you have to give 60 days notice.

the exact wording of the state law is critical. some state laws say 30 days notice is normally required for month-to-month situation but leases are permitted to set it to more, up to 60 maxiimum ?!?. I suspect TX law does this.
signing the original lease is consent to the longer notice required term.

without the exact wording in your lease, there is no qualified attorney who would venture a guess.
my guess is that the lease holds as written and the 60 days is in. Texas law is a fine and wonderful thing -- it usually refuses to alter the honest deal that two people made.

See the link under on the subject of the regulation in California on returning protection deposits. because your landlord asked you to circulate, that may not influence getting your deposit decrease back. It feels like your son could have achieved some injury, so which you may discover deductions out of your deposit for that. In California, a landlord could provide you the choice to have an inspection and supply you a itemizing of each and every thing you may choose to do to get the completed deposit decrease back. that could desire to incorporate fixing any injury your son could have achieved. in the event that they don't provide you the right observe, and the prospect to restoration it, then you definitely could have the potential to get the completed deposit decrease back in court docket because of fact the owner did not do their accountability. by potential of ways, I observed that yet another answerer suggested you may to circulate in the previous the 60 days is up. If i substitute into your supervisor, i could be prepared to allow you to try this without charging you something. in case you elect to circulate early, merely communicate on your supervisor/landlord. I guess they're going to allow you to progression early, because they choose you out.

On a month to month bases I would only give him 30 days, if you can give them more do so, but I would`nt worry about it, I don`t believe he can say anything. the norm on a home is 30 days. he can`t have his cake and eat it too. and you have the right to make plans. I think if you talk to them they should be reasonable. If not just move. have a happy xmas.
