do i owe my landlord rent the month i am leaving?

Question

i gave my landlord one month notice to leave, therefore do i still owe the rent for the current month

Answer 1

Let's say you are moth to month and not on a lease. which if you were you would owe your monthly until the lease was up. Anyway, lets say you put in your 30 day notice today on August 31st. you would have to pay rent for September only as long as you were out by then end of the month. If your rent is not due on the first and it is something like the 5th then I would assume that you would not have to pay the next months rent as long as you were out by the 5th of October.

Answer 2

If you have the normal form of contract. You are obligated to pay for your last month's rent. Once you move out and the landlord inspects the apartment for damages, you should receive your deposit back. Things get sticky if you don't give enough notice you could be charged another month or if you have an annual lease and leave before the year is up, you could be charged for the rest of the year until the apartment is rented. AND if the landlord rents the place for less, you could still be held accountable for the difference. (This is very rare, but in a declining market it could happen.)

Read your contract very carefully (if you have one)

Answer 3

You owe rent up until the day you leave. Why should you get a free months rent just because you are leaving

Answer 4

If when you moved into the property you paid a month in advance you would owe nothing, but if you paid your rent in arrears at the end of the month then yes you would have to pay that months rent.

Answer 5

Essentially yes, but if you've been paying in advance, he's already been paid. If, on the otherhand you've been paying in arrears it will still be due, but if your bond was of equal value, you could arrange with him just to keep the bond. Usually though, in the UK at least, you don't get to set foot inside the door till you've paid the bond and one month in advance. So your landlord probably owes you your bond back but don't expect it for a couple of weeks, so they have time to inspect the property.

Bottom line is, you have to pay for any time you've spent there.

Answer 6

yes u owe him up until the day you move out. even if you have given notice. he is not going to let you stay rent free for a month is he!

Answer 7

Check your contract. You owe rent for as long as you've lived in the place. Sit down and work it out.

Answer 8

Yes. Definately. Why should he be out of a full month's rent.

Answer 9

Yep you may desire to return his $975 to him regardless. As for the deposit, do you walk with the aid of and in case you have harm you may desire to tell him of the wear and the smount you're with retaining from protection. persist with your state landlord tenant rules.

Answer 10

Knowing landlords he'll find some clausical way of screwing it out of you!
