Answer 1

Whether you have a signed year lease of a month to month lease, you are required to give 30 days notice before moving out. A landlord could keep your deposit based on the lack of notice.
Even if you have a year lease and have not fulfulled to year contract, talk with your landlord. If you can find someone to re-rent or the landlord can fill it in a short period of time, he or she may agree to let you out of the contract.
Either way, communication is the key factor in how your landlord will respond. No matter what the situation, if you are open and up front with her/him, they will likely respond favorably.

Answer 2

Frist did you sign a lease? If so when is your lease up? if you are renting from month to month then you should be fine and you have to give notice it would be best to give a written notice, make sure you keep a copy of it. Now if you did sign a lease and it's not up yet and you want to or need to move you will have to pay a relenting fee which is half of what your rent is for the month that's only if your moving out early, before the lease is up. If you have any further questions call the housing authorities or the tenet council to obtain information and also if you paid a deposit that should cover something and or if you cleaned up properly and let everything just as you found it then you should be entitled to the deposit if not all some of it. Make Sure that you take pictures of the place when you move out before and after you clean it. that way they can't say that you left a mess you will have proof.

Answer 3

Yes you still need to pay the rent if you have not given a 30 notice. The reason for this is that the landlord would lose "expected income" without the notice.

Answer 4

in most cases no you don't providing your entirely moved out before your rent falls due, however if you signed a contract or lease you may want to see if there is a clause when you can move out you also may ask the landlord about this

Answer 5

It all depends on what your lease says and if you are breaking the lease. So read the lease and have a talk with the apartment manager. Also, did you give any notice that you are moving? That could be a factor too.

Answer 6

More than likely you are on a month to month tenancy and your rent will be due next on July 5th, covering the next 30 day's. be sure to leave the unit clean in case there is a cleaning/security deposit. Best to you.

Answer 7

if u signed a lease and its not up yet then yes u have to pay rent. if no lease tell ur landlord ur moving the 1st of month. thats giving him notice. if u have a depoist u might want it back.

Answer 8

I think you are required to pay him through the end of the lease or he can put it on your credit and it will be hard for you to find somewhere else to rent with a mark like that on your credit

Answer 9

You have to give a notice period. Normally one month.

I've you've not given this notice you have to pay for it anyway


If you dont have a notice period you pay prorata. Which is basically calculated how much you pay per day. ie. 5 days = $500. Prorata one day would be $100

Take it up with your landlord, they are human after all

Answer 10

yes you should ,but it really depends upon whether you rent month to month or have a lease. In either situation you should give at least 1 months notice before you leave.
