OK so I have been renting this townhouse for a year now. The lease ran out on Sept 1, we then switch to month to month. Recently they have been doing some work on the house. Which includes redoing the paneling and the windows. They did the trim for the windows but have yet to do the inside. Now with no window seals or framing we have no blinds in our house. Due to the recent weather we have had a lot of rain and water has been seeping into the house. It has also been over 3 weeks since they did the outside work on the windows.
I call my landlord to tell her about the windows, she didn't seem to concerned. Then she goes to say "I know this may seem like an inconvinience but you won't have to worry about it for much longer. We are going to redo the lease on that house and not allow pets on the premise, and you will get notice on the 1st of Oct and you will have 30 days to vacate."
So now to my current situation, me and my wife have found a new place that we can move into on the first so we can maybe try and not stay here any longer. I told my landlord that we don't want to stay for oct and she says if we leave without giving 30 day notice we will get fined $1K.
OK, so what can I do? Can I somehow get out of this bind or maybe get prorate or something. Oh also if we stay here for oct they will be doing siding on the house, window seals maybe... and carpet from what she says... do I really have to be subject to this ary?
