There's nothing illegal about asking for an extension on your lease. So to answer your question, you may legally ask for an extension. For the second part of your question - the landlord most likely will not be able to kick you out for 30 days, so you should be fine.

This happens more often than you think and the result is solely going to rely on whether your current apartment is leased out to someone else already. If your landlord does not have another tenant ready to move in, he/she will most likely be glad to give you a one month extension. This happens a lot when someone is going from renting to owning. Many times closing on homes doesn't proceed exactly as planned, especially if it's new construction.
If the apartment is already leased out though, no matter how nice a person your landlord is, he has to fulfill his contract with the new tenants.

If you have already signed a lease agreement that is already in effect then the landlord is in violation because the premises are not habitable and you cannot take physical possession. Bring this fact up to you landlord and suggest that this may be grounds for you to terminate the lease, since the landlord has rented you an apartment and cannot give you occupancy. Demand, not ask, that the effective date of the lease be changed to reflect the date when you can take actual possession.

If your current landlord has already rented out your apartment you are holding up someone else from moving into your old place. Dont take your problems out on your old landlord. You gave him notice to be out and if your not you are in violation and hes has every reason to take you to court. I am a landlord and I try to be very fair to my tenants and all I ask in return is the same courtesy. Just because someone owns a couple of rental properties doesnt make them Donald Trump he is probably counting on your rent to pay his own bills. So if your thinking about stiffing your landlord and making him go through the process of eviction to get you out just remember, do on to others as you would have them do on to you. As for some of these other postings telling you to ride him out and have him force you leave there scumbags! You should stay with a friend and have your new landlord compensate you some how to make up for his faults.

You can ask for anything, but your landlord does not have to give it to you. Don't get evicted; that would be stupid. You need to be out of the apartment on the 31st, with it vacant and cleaned. Try a motel 6 for three weeks, or see if a friend will let you crash at their pad.

in case you haven't any longer paid for June, you're extremely late. hire isn't paid in arrears, this is paid for the month you're staying there. So, in case you haven't any longer paid June hire, you owe June AND July with the aid of fact this is already July 1st. you ought to grant a 30 day written word which you would be shifting on the tip of July. in case you wait, they are able to additionally carry you responsible for Augusts hire. Why you hung around for 11 mos without sufficient warm water is unusual. you could have broke the hire till now and then sued on your deposit back whilst they could no longer get the issue fixed. It maximum in all opportunities are high so common as changing the water heater. The grievance approximately the place your bathing room is placed and your pals making relaxing of ways small this is isn't a valid reason to interrupt the hire, however the nice and comfortable water subject no longer be resolved for 11 mos is.

Most leases require 30 days notice to vacate (or not renewing lease).....if you haven't given your current landlord such notice.....you may find yourself responsible for January's rent......Just because your lease expires on 12/31/06.....doesn't mean you're free to leave w/out notice......otherwise.....if you gave notice it all depends if he has rented out your apt already...

Be ready to move if your landlord does not allow a one-month extension. If you gave him a one-month notice that you were moving, you should get your security deposit back. Otherwise, it is completely up to him to decide.

Once your lease expires it's no longer a matter of eviction. You're trespassing at that point and they can have you arrested.
