Hello all,
I am in a bit of a situation I am unclear about and was hoping for some clarification. I had a 6 month termed lease in CA that expires on Feb 29, 2008. I talked to someone in the leasing office two weeks ago and told her I would not be interested in renewing. No problem she said. I then called today (2/25) to see when I could come in and drop off my keys and the lady told me that because I did not give them a 30 day notice I would be responsible for the next 30 days at a month to month rate. Needless to say I was not pleased. I went back and found my leae and here is what it says:
"Term Lease : The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on Septmeber 1 2007 and continue therafter until February 29, 2008 at a rate od $1120.
In the event Resident holds over the possession of said premises with Landlords consent after the initial term of this Agreement, resident shall become a resident under a month-to-month residentcy under the terms of this Agreement at a monthly rate of $1520. Such residency shall continue as a month to month lease until either Landlord or Resident terminates the residency by giving the other a 30 day written notice of his intention to terminate the residency. Resident agrees to pay all rent up to and including the end of the 30 day notice period or until the apartment is re-rented."
My reading of this is that since I am turning over possession of the property before the lease ends, I am not considered a month to month resident and not bound by the 30 day written notification.
Am I correct? Any help is greatly appreciated!
