Normally speaking, you have to pay for every month you are in control of the unit. So if you give a month's notice you still have to pay a month's rent. If your landlord is holding a security deposit he cannot use that as the last month's rent unless you agree to it. If your landlord gave you a thirty-day notice to move it he must give it to you at least 30 days before the next rent is due, as must you give him such notice.

The notice must be in writing, or it doesn't count. And, the notice has to be before the beginning of the last rental period.

Yes, unless a last-month's-rent was paid at the beginning of the tenancy.

In Massachusetts can a tenant give a 30 day notice any day of the month?

You can give the notice any day you want, but the term '30-day' is a misnomer. The notice is for the end of the next rental period. Today is November 12. If the rent is due on the first of each month, notice given today is for December 31, not December 12.


Can a lanlord evict a tenant giving one weeks notice?

This depends on several factors, including whether the eviction is because of a serious or repititious lease violation, whether there is a written lease, and if the rent is on a month-to-month or week-to-week basis. Did the Landlord give the one-week notice or did the Tenant? Is there a written lease? Then the answer is probably "no," unless it's because of a serious or repititious violation of the terms of the lease. If there is no violation involved and there is a written lease, then the landlord or tenant must give at least a 30-day notice before the lease expires. The tenant cannot move out during the lease period unless the Landlord agrees to allow such. If there is no lease and the rent is month-to-month, then the landlord or tenant must give at least 30 days of notice before the next rent is due. If there is no lease and the rent is on a week-to-week basis, then one week's notice is given by either side, before the next rent is due. He can also give a week's notice if there is a lease and that lease is being seriously violated by the Tenant. Now, a week's notice, or whatever notice is given, is not an automatic right of the landlord to force you out of your home: he must follow proper eviction proceedings.


If a landlord is stalling on renewing lease what are tenants rights?

Generally none. If the tenant continues in possession once the lease term has expired he would be deemed a tenant at will, or a month-to-month tenant (if the rent is paid monthly) or a week-to-week tenant (if the rent is paid weekly). The frequency of rent payments determines whether the tenant is month to month or week to week, and also the notice the landlord must give before requiring the tenant to move. If its month to month the landlord must generally give one weeks notice to quit if he wants the tenants out. If you would feel more secure with a lease you might have to move. Many people never sign a lease after the first one expires and continue on a month to month basis.


Can a tenant demand security deposit when moved out owing rent and gave no notice?

If no notice is given, then the tenant owes for the next month, if the landlord tries to rent the unit and cannot. The security deposit can be applied to the arrearage - the landlord needs to write the tenant a letter so stating.


Can the landlord change terms of the original lease after the lease becomes a month to month?

Yes, assuming the tenant is given proper notice, which on a month to month lease is typically 30 days.


How much notice does a tenant have to get rid of a pet?

If the pet is included on the lease then the landlord cannot give the tenant such an order until the lease term expires. If this is a month-to-month tenancy then the landlord has to give the tenant a 30 day notice of such before the next rent is due.


Does a landlord have to have a reason to kick a tenant out?

Not really: a landlord can reclaim their property at the end of a lease-- no material reason needed-- or give notice to a month-to-month tenant (or week-to-week, if applicable).


If you are on a month to month rental when is a 30 days notice effective is it suppose to be at the beginning of the month when you pay rent?

You can give the landlord notice any time during the rental period, but you must pay full rent during the period covered by the notice. For example, say you have a month-to-month rental agreement, and pay rent on the first day of each month. You could give notice any time during the month (for example, on the tenth). Then, you could leave 30 days later (on the tenth of the following month, or earlier if you chose to). But you would have to pay rent for the first 10 days of the next month whether you stay for those 10 days or move earlier. (Exception: You would not have to pay rent for the entire 10 days if you left earlier, and the landlord rented the unit to another tenant during the 10 days, and the new tenant paid rent for all or part of the 10 days.
