Can I give a 30 day notice when that month's rent is due, if the agreemtns states I paid last month's rent?

Question

My 1yr lease ended June21, LL raised my rent $100 & wanted a mon to mon rental, which I did pay June21-July 21,however I asked for a new contract, she siad okay, we were suppose to meet to sign the new contract but she didn't show. In the last contract she was suppose to pay my trash, which she has not done for the last 6 mons. She owes me about $120. Now she said she is going to sell the house, but everything she is telling me by phone, thee have been no letters from her letting me know this stuff. She showed up at my house on Aug 22nd after 9pm, to ask for the rent for the month of Aug 21-Sept 21, but The last contract, not the new one states that I have until the 25th to pay rent. Is that contract still valid, since I have not agreed or signed anything new. I want to leave now, and the last contract does state "Last Month's Rent" paid, Can I give her the 30 day notice now,Aug 23rd. I see it as no contract, no agreement, nothing in writing, what can be done. She still owes me money.

Answer 1

i think its 31 day notice. Ask for what she owes you and there should be a deposit coming back in a few weeks too. No contract means month to month tenancy when its all verbal. Good luck.

Answer 2

The terms and conditions of your last lease are still valid. The only change is that you are now month to month instead of on a yearly basis.

Your rent is due on the 21st. The 25th is just a grace period before you are charged a late fee.

I would deduct the trash fee from the current months rent.

Answer 3

Depending on where you live, check with the Attorney Generals Office or Tenants Union in your area. The Attorney General can point you in the right direction. The Tenants Union will give you info of your rights as a tenant and can answer questions for you.

Answer 4

Even if you give notice of your intent to vacate the lease, you still have to pay rent for the last month the lease is terminated. the rent due will be based on the existing lease agmt. Please note that your lease may also call for a penalty if notice is not timely.......
