Question on Rental Agreements

"tim"	12/6/2004 5:42:45 PM
I rented a appartment for 1 year. I moved out on the end date of the lease. They then tried to say that I have to give 30 days notice to terminate the lease. They're trying to charge me for another month that I didn't live there. Is this legal? I always thought that the 30 days thing was only for if you want your depost back.

You don't owe anything more unless the rental agreement says so. Read it carefully. I always thought that the 30 days thing was only for if you want your depost back. No. The 30 day thing applies anytime there is something in the lease or in the law which says a party must give 30 days notice in order to terminate a lease or other tenancy. The security deposit has nothing to do with it. In your case, you are not terminating a lease. It expired. So there was no need for a 30 day notice, unless the lease says otherwise. McGyver

Really I would need to know the state, but if you fullfilled your lease they should have had constructive notice that you would be moving out. It would depend on the state landlord/tenant laws, but I don't think that they could hold you responsible for the momths rent, nor could they hold it against your deposit. Your best bet is discuss it with your local legal aide attorney. You could call the State Bar office to find out their number. Sometimes they are listed under Legal Aide.

As other replies have stated, your obligation to pay for the 30 days after you give notice is controlled by: 1) the terms of your lease 2) statute, (usually state law) In CA the controlling statute is Civil Code "tim" <tim@hello.com> wrote in message news:pS0td.31053$CG4.27227@fe2.columbus.rr.com...
