My husband and I are moving out of our apartment in order to save up for a home. We just graduated University, and are moving in with his father.
We gave our landlord 2 months' notice, even though we were not on a lease. We had lived there for 3 and a half years.
Because of our financial problems (student loans!) we cannot come up with the full rent for tomorrow.
Do you think it is okay to give the landlord half the rent tomorrow, and the other half on the 10th, when we both get paid?
We are in a jam.

Absolutely, why not? Just explain your situation and let them know you got caught a little short due to whatever reason you elect to tell them. I'm sure anyone who is a landlord will welcome your honesty as they have dealt with the deadbeats I'm sure of that! I used to have rental properties and always tried to accomodate my tenants as best I could. People realize Friday doesn't always come on the first of the month! It's the ones that go several months and avoid you like the plague that piss me off! Then all of a sudden I go to the complex and they are gone- no notice what-so-ever! They find themselves in court very quickly with me. You can work with me but don't take advantage of me!

Your landlord probably still has your security deposit, right? So, he can hold that in security in case you don't pay your last month's rent. Maybe tell him you will give him a post dated check and not to cash it until the 10th. Definitely talk to the landlord. It is always better for the landlord to know what you are doing, than for him to have to guess what you are doing. But if he has your deposit, then I'm sure he's not going to be worried about losing money.

As a landlord I am always willing to work with good tenants when they are in a bind. Call him/her and explain and ask for their OK.

it doesn't hurt to ask him. alot of landlords will work with people, just be honest and up front with him.

You can't give him what you don't have. All you can do is ask.
