...sudden wants 60 day notice? I had a 1yr lease from 08'-09'. We have always had good relations so i figured a lease wasnt necassary so i figured a verbal month to month lease would be fine. I explained to him when he told me that he wanted 60 day notice that it would be hard for me to find an apt during the month of Feb. to find something to move into on April 1st. He ne3gotiated me down to give him 45 day notice but still that does not help because the new apt i found wants a renter for next month. I then told him that legally "1 months notice" is the law in the state of NJ. No where in the previous lease did it state anything saying that i needed to give 60 days, plus that lease is already null and void because it is expired. Heres a few ideas that I have
A) Don't pay rent this month and just live out the security, which is a month and a half. (in that case he tecnically walks away with an extra $325 in his pocket) Which im fine with because im fed up
B) Pay rent and wait for him to give back the security (Only problem he is picky and is probably going to take $300 off the sec deposit due to something stupid)
One last thing, the apt is not a legal apt. my electric heat and hot water are all shared with the upstairs tenant so for him to take me to court would be stupid. A) its illegal apartment B) there is no lease and to top it off C) Once you are on a verbal month to month you legally have one month exactly to vacate. Hence the term "Month to Month"
Please leave your thoughts and comments. They will be much appriciated
I would give a 30 day notice in writing but is that even necassary???? I have no lease we are just verbally month to month.
Let me rephrase month to month not 30 days. It shouldn't matter how many days are in a month. It is not my fault February has 28 days.
Please don't forget the apt is "illegal". Does it really matter if i walk out on the security? How is it possible for problems to keep occuring at an "illegal apt"???
