    30 day notice
    I am on a month to month lease. I'm buying a home so I gave the landlords 30 day notice on the 15th of the month. I actually gave them a heads up 15 days earlier that I was leaving within 45 days. They claim that since I am on a month to month lease that I have to give notice on the 1st of the month and that now I have to pay rent through the 1st of April which is 45 days away. It states on the lease that I only have to give 28 days notice and does not state anywhere on the lease that I have to give it at the beginning of the month. (My lease started on 5/26/06 and I have paid rent every month on time.) I even offered to pay a prorated, day by day fee if escrow did not close on time and the apartment was still vacant after the 30 days was up.

    Am I required to give notice on the first of the month and pay rent until the 1st of April, 45 days from now?

    Thanks for your help...

    Depends on the terms of your written lease

    Normally 30 days is merely 30 days

    But honestly if you are timing escrow I would give the full month so the landlord being mad does not force you to move if the closing is not completed.
