To move into a dwelling, the landlord is going to generally ask you for the first month's rent, a security deposit, and often times the last months rent. Every state has its own rules about this and you should check with it. In South Carolina and Florida your security deposit may not exceed one month's rent. And in both states that security deposit may not be used as rent unless you and the landlord mutually agree.

What does a landlord have to pay to move you out if he wants to move back in?

Nothing. The landlord need only give you the notice required by law (20 days in WA) and then simply move back in. The exception is if you have a lease--in that case, the landlord must honor the term of the lease unless the landlord and tenant mutually agree to break the lease. In that case, the tenant is free to demand compensation of the landlord for the landlord's breaking the lease.

Do I have to pay for the next month's rent if my landlord breaks the lease and I move out before the end of the month?

well, if the land lord broke the lease, then you are not responsible and do not have to pay, because it is not you but the land lord. if you move out of the house before the lease is over, then the money you gave the land lord beforehand will stay and you will have to pay more money, which is the amount of money that you woul've paid if you didn't break the lease!


If I sign a lease but do not exchange money is the lease valid and do I have to move in the apt?
