i decided to end my lease.?
Okay my lease stated I most give 60 days notice, to end my lease. It ends November 1st. I sent my landlord a note August 9 . I wanted to give him close to 90 days just for safe measure. Anyway its now , it was the 22nd and we notice a leak in our main bathroom toilet so we turned off the water supple to prevent water damage. We sent the landlord a text stating this and give us a confirmation he got the letter regarding our notice vacant November 1 . Its now August 29 and still no reply or anything. I don't want to get charge for plumbing issues or have deduction out of my security when I given more then enough notice about the issue. What should I do with him not herring back to about either issue. Legally, I need more advice then call him or send him another letter. Thank-you
Okay to the response grow up. Okay how Would u handle if roles were reversed for u. I called him to address issues in the past and Would get calls days 2-5 later to fix the issue even major problems. I sent a txt this round so I have a trail of me trying to give notice .my txt show the dates of me touching base my phone records only stay active for 20 calls in and out so after 20 I Would have no record of me calling.so hence my txt. To show my trail. I guess a child mentality thinks like that my bad.
He also lives in a different state stopping over for ever concern isnt doable

Hopefully, any thing you gave him, you kept a copy for yourself. If so, you need to resend and request return receipt. If you don't have copies, then its your word against his, unless your able to get on the phone and say what needs to be said in a manner of authority. You still have some time, but not much. As for the leak, keep calling til he responds, because this becomes a healthy issue and a possible bigger problem for him. You can leave a message that says, if I do not hear from you then I will contact the "housing authority" dealing with Land Lords. After that it's attorney time.

This is NOT an IM; try to use complete sentences and punctuation
READ your lease
It generally requires notices in writing and does NOT accept texting as written notices
Try using more than one media, emailing, snailmail, phone calls
Send him letter noting dates of communications, note that toilet has been nonfunctioning for X days, repairs requested Y days ago; that this is health and safety issue and request that it be fixed within 3 days. Reiterate your notice for nonrenewal of lease.
NOT every repair a tenant wants must be made by LL. Just because a tenant wants something done, or a tenant breaks something, does not mean LL must do it. And a LL is allowed a reasonable time to make repairs. A leaking toilet is something a LL should fix within 2 weeks.
AND advice to send your LL another letter is sound advice, appropriate in circumstances, and an important first step.

You need to learn the rules of lease contracts and renting. In order to properly handle such a repair notification, you MUST send it ON PAPER to the landlord, and find a way of sending such so that you have a signature of his receipt. A text message (no matter how popular is texting) does NOT fulfill any sort of legal requirement. If there any legal/court issues from this situation, and you tell the judge "Well, I texted the landlord", you will be laughed out of the courtroom.
When renting, you can communicate verbally or by text or email, but such will NOT be considered in a court of law. You need to follow up your communications with the old fashioned PAPER.

Grow up and stop texting. Any repair requests must be made in writing and should be sent via certified mail. Many people, me included, do not respond to texts.
