I am on a month-to-month basis with my apartment complex. I agreed to a court settlement of $1500 for outstanding rent to bring me up to date. At the end of this month (approximately two weeks), I want to move out. Not only can I no longer afford the rent (I have a 4 month old son and I am moving in with his daddy), but there are numerous outstanding maintenence issues that still have not been addressed, some dating back to when I originally moved in three years ago. I wrote them a letter stating the maintenence issues and they never responded. I want to pay them the balance of what was determined in court and just leave. They claim that even though I am not subject to lease terms, that I still have to give them 30 day notice which means I must stay there for the month of Feburary as well. Is this true? Help!

So they can charge rent even though I'm not there? By what terms if I'm not under an agreement? Especially seeing they haven't fixed anything yet?

Yes! I would advise that you gave 30-day notice of your intention to vacate the premises...so they don't come after you in the future for one month's rent....

when is a month to month basis you only need to give 7 days notice via certified letter.
