Notice needs to be at least a full rental period. If the rent is due on the first, notice needs to be by the last day of this month. So, today is July 17. If I want to leave at the end of August, I need to tell my landlord by July 31. If the rent is due on the 15th, then I need to give notice by July 14 that I am leaving on August 14.
No.
“At the end of a term lease can the lanlord require the tenant to move out?”
YES, as long as the house or apartment is left in the same condition as it was when you moved in.
If you have a lease agreement with a fixed term (Example: a typical 12 month residential lease agreement) then you cannot get out unless you get the Landlord's permission.
If it doesn't say in the lease, then they don't have to give any 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.
Rent is often paid monthly or whatever time period is designated in the lease between you and your lanlord.
As a tenant, if the landlord wishes to break their own lease, you have the right to seek damages just as they would if you had broken your lease. The usual outcome for a landlord to break a lease is that the landlord forfeits any right to retain the security deposit.
A landlord should give the tenant written notice that the lease is ending, 60 days before the end of lease. The notice gives the tenant the option of either renewing the lease or announcing (also in writing) that they don't intend to renew & will be moving by end of lease.
Dear _____________________ : The Landlord/Tenant Act requires me to give you written notice __________ days prior to the end of the lease that the lease will be terminated. This is written notice of my intent to have you vacate the premises on or before ___________. You may contact me at ________________________ should you have any questions. Sincerely, (landlord)
You can break a lease to move for work--but the landlord has the rights noted in the lease. Providing 30 days notice and talking to him about the reasons for your move may reduce the money they expect for you to pay to get out of the lease. If you have a letter of employment from the new job may help. A job in the military is usually the only work-related reason for getting out of a lease early.
No. Whether or not your landlord has a copy of the lease, he is still bound by the lease as a contract. I suggest you photocopy your copy of the lease, and hand it to him (or send it by registered mail, so he can't say he didn't receive it)! If he still refuses to abide by the conditions of the lease, contact your local Landlord & Tenant Commission for advice.
