I signed a new lease for another new area to live on the 27th of June. The landlord has already given me the keys to the new place and stated he would pay half the months rent for July. But he also stated that I can move into the new place at anytime and rent will start in August. The dilenma here is my apartment where I currently live just recently had my lease end and I am now on a month to month agreement. I wanna move by the 6th of July and only pay the rent pro rated for those days. Or what could be the consequences of moving and not paying at all. I gave a thirty day notice on the 29th. Could anyone have an answer to this

the apartments will evict you then once that happens they will take you to court for the remaining balance of your lease then they will charge you court fees and if you dont pay they will then send it to collections! you must give at least a 30 day notice stating that you are leaving! even if your lease is up you still need to send them a notice!
good luck!

I have been there, and done that. What happens depends on the landlord. If they are nice, they can accept the pro-rated 6 days rent and wish you well, or they can be real ****holes and send it to collections, add a whole bunch of fees, and send reports to damage your rental history & credit report. they can also choose not to return any deposit & cleaning fees even if they are nice about it. You already have the new place, and you are free to go, but if you choose not to settle to the old landlord's satisfaction, I hope you're prepared to stay in the new place a minimum of 3 years, because that's usually how far back any new place wants to check your history.
Oh, and do TAKE PICTURES before turning in your key to the old place, the kind where the developer puts the date on the back of the photos, and have them developed right away with date, or they could claim all kinds of damages, and without proof, you'd be liable. Do this, believe me, I learned this the hard way. I didn't, and was charged with over a thousand dollars in damages I didn't do, PLUS $600 in "cleaning fees" (I spent 6 hours cleaning after moving out), PLUS $400 to paint (clean walls) not to mention the $1200 in deposits they also kept, and the final month's rent.

You owe july's rent and if you have a deposit they could take it. If no deposit they could sue you for july's rent if you dont pay. They may not be able to find someone to immediately fill the rent and you technically owe.
Best case scenario. - - you contact landlord and let him know whats up and see what he says - if he could rent it earlier maybe you wont have to pay the whole month.
Dont most places charge first and last months rent and deposit. So cant hurt to ask. You never know what theyll say.

My friend did this to an apartment she had in NYC. The girl who she left got really mad and sent her papers summoning her to court. The court wanted to take the remaining payment out of her paycheck. I think that is what happened, but not sure because I didn't talk to her much about it after she told me the girl sued her. Also, that person might just use your security deposit to pay what you owe, but they might not. My friend tried to get that girl to do that and the girl sued her anyway. I would just talk to the person and explain the situation and see what they suggest. You don't want to burn bridges. Someone might run a check on your renting history years from now and you don't want anything negative on the report.

In Aus you need to give 3 weeks notice in writing to the landlord or agent. If you don't pay your rent in goes into a real estate system that all real estates have access to, so in future you will have a hard time renting.

They will sue you for what you own on the lease you signed. They will keep the damage deposit.
You have to give them 30 days notice but it has to be before the current month commences. No such thing as pro-rata month-to-month.
Technically, you are giving notice on June 29th, to have your last month of your lease end on July 31st. You will have to pay for that month, period. But since your new lease is giving you a free month or half a month and you won't start paying until August ~ what is the problem?????????????
You don't get nothin' for nothin' Fair is fair for everybody,.

you gave 30 days notice....check your lease for clauses on breaking your lease.
Most likely you will lose your security deposit.........Life happens and you can't be FORCED to live somewhere. That's why you paid a security deposit and probably an additional month's rent.

Since you gave notice on the 29th you will owe rent until the following 28th. That is the agreement you have already signed up to. You can't change it now.pp
