Returning deposit upon vacating, or re-renting
If I gave my 60 days notice July 18
and moved out the next day –before
the end of my month to month
rental. Does the landlord have to
return my deposit 21 days after i
vacated? He did not find a
satisfactory replacement yet, and
he’s asked me to pay August rent.
Re: Returning deposit upon vacating, or re-renting
He is wrong.
Landlord must give you 60 days notice, but vice versa is 30 days notice.
You should always request a walk through.
Please resubmit with a description of your notice, or e-mail, fax, or PDF it to my office.
If you told him you would be out in 60 days, he may well force you to pay until mid-September.
Next time, consult an attorney BEFORE you act. This could be an expensive lessom.
