Breaking a month to month lease
We have been living in our apartment for going on 5 years now. We signed a 1 year lease when we first moved which became a month to month lease thereafter. In the original lease the landlord put a clause that tenants can not move out between the months of November and March. Can this be enforced on a month to month lease? If yes, doesn’t that make it a 5 month lease, instead of a month to month lease? We are in the process of buying a house and don’t want to get stuck paying on this lease. Also, our landlord has been negligent in repairing our ailing appliances. Could this be used to get us out of our lease? Thanks!

I got an eviction notice of 30days for i am a month to month on Long Island. there is no way I will be able to be out by April 30th. can the landlord take my stuff out(she has threatened or should i say her friend who served me did ) or does it go to court? I am out of work and need a couple of months to get money and find a place. how does this work-also he said noone will rent to me once this is done how do i react? I am in Nassau county. also is there a website where as I can print out and show her the laws if there are any?

We have been trying to leave a residence for months. Due to family sickness, and other personal problems we have not been able to leave until now. Months ago when our landlord presented us with back water and sewage bills we contacted our attorney who informed us that under our month to month lease we are not responsible for those bills. I never disputed paying rent for the rest of the time here. the landlord came today and we told him we would be out by the end of the week. He is demanding I write him five or six post dated checks to cover the past water and sewage bills or he will have us evicted tomorrow. I know it is against the law to write checks you have no money to cover. Can he Black Mail us like this?
