how long of notice is it customary to give your landlords when you move?

Answer 1

30 days. Also, if you are in the middle of a lease, you might have to pay a fee.

Answer 2

You should give your landlord at least 30 days notice. Also if you are breaking your lease you can be held responsible for the rest of the rent on the lease. Say you have a 12 month lease and you pay $400 a month and you have 2 months left on your lease when you move, you can be held responsible for the last $800. Not too many people will come after you for that money, but some places will. As long as you leave the place in good condition and give your landlord notice then everything should be alright. Good luck and I hope this helped.

Answer 3

I agree with the 30 day thing---but just wanted to let you know because I've seen it happen..... IF you signed a lease say for a YEAR and that year is NOT over yet, the landlord COULD demand that you pay him the rest of the year's rent and he would be within his legal right to ask that... but what some of them also do is------ok you break a lease let say it has 3 months left. The landlord will BILL you for the months the place is vacant (the time between your move and new tenant moving in) it could be only a MONTH or maybe 2 depending on how clean you are leaving the apartment when YOU go and how much damage you caused. and you'll be charged for the cost of listing the apartment again also.... read your lease CAREFULLY before you decide to break it.

Answer 4

I think 30 days is customary in most places. The apartment where I live requires 30 days written notice, or you'll be responsible for paying the rent until the apartment is rented to someone else.

Answer 5

If you have a lease, check it. It normally will specify. If not, 30 days is usual and customary. As others have said, if you have a lease, and it isn't up, you are liable for the rent through the end of the lease term. You'll want to check that carefully to avoid a messy lawsuit or small claims court.

Answer 6

Your lease likely spells it out as being a 30 day notice. Any property I have ever managed, had a 30 day notice rule, and all of my tenants have known respected that. Some have given me more than 30 days as a heads up.

Answer 8
