Im In a roommate situation here in california, I want to move out, how do i go about doing a 30 day notice ?

Question

Our lease ended in Dec, but I want to move. How do i go about submitting a 30 day notice to her and my landlord?

What should i put in the notice? I have never done one before

Answer 1

give notice in writing to both of them. Just remember, you MAY still be liable for the rent if you are still on the lease. You have to have the landlord release you from the lease. Make sure you are clear about this BEFORE you move out.

Answer 2

Honestly you have to find him a roommate. What's going to happen is that you are now going to have to wait until the end of February to move and even then, you might still have to foot the bill until there's another roommate.

Although the lease has ended, the rules are if you don't submit a thirty day notice to the landlord and you actually pay him for the month of January, your lease renews automatically. So you guys are on the hook for the lease for the exact time your lease was. If you are going to write a letter I suggest it goes something like this:

Dear Roommate (whatever the name):

Kindly be advised that I, (your name), am hereby giving you my thirty (30) day notice, advising you that I will be moving out. This serves to confirm that I will be vacating the apartment at the end of February 2007.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

You should write something like that. You should really discuss it with your roommate b4 sending the letter. After you speak with your roommate to seek any alternatives, then send the letter out. I suggest you send it certified in case they try to say there was no notice provided.

Answer 3

Do it in writing.
