I have been renting at this community for the a little over 2 years. First year I had a year to year lease. Once that expired I signed a 7 month lease, which has now been expired for 5 months now.

Since the lease expiration, the community has been charging me a premium month to month fee.

Now, I decided to move and I gave my notice. According to Florida statute 83.03 I gave them a 15 day notice. This was done on July 28th, with a move out date of August 12th.

On Monday, when I went to the office they were confused as to what my pro-rated rate should be (12 days or 15 days) and told me that they were not even sure the manager would approve such a situation.

They told me that usually you have to give them a one month notice. Then they told me that since it's a month to month basis that the 15 days start at the end of the month... therefore I should pay 15 days worth of rent.

I gave them a check with a pro-rated rate of 15 days "just in case".

At today, the manager has not called me regarding this, and I'm afraid he might try to pull a fast one on me.

Any advice would be highly appreciated :)

It is a residential tenancy, right? So what makes you think that 83.03 applies?




PART I

NONRESIDENTIAL TENANCIES
83.001 Application.--This part applies to nonresidential tenancies and all tenancies not governed by part II of this chapter.




PART II

RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES
83.41 Application.--This part applies to the rental of a dwelling unit.

Hello I:

You are required to give 30 notice. If you gave it on the 28th, it would have taken effect on the first, assuming that your rent is paid on the first, and you owe a full months rent.

Isin't this it?

(4) Where the tenancy is from week to week, by giving not less than 7 days' notice prior to the end of any weekly period.

Oh man, did I write the wrong thing on my termination letter? Should I write a new one?

So, how do I go about fixing my mistake?

Do I write a new letter?

That, and pay the months rent. I'm sure that's all they're interested in.
