    TAA lease move-out dispute
    I have been at my apartments for a year now and my lease is supposed to end on November 13, 2007. I signed the TAA lease agreement in October 2006 knowing that I would move-out when the lease ends. To make a long story short, I put my 30 day notice in, assuming it was 30 days, but then I find out that my lease says 60 day notice. So of course I am upset and speak to a lady in the office. She was rude and says that the contract says 60 days and if I do not pay it I will be reported. So I spoke to the manager and she said they put a notice on my door asking if I was going to renew my lease two weeks before my notice was due. I never received it. The lease states that they will give me a notice no more than 90 days and no less than 5 days before my 60 notice is due. I have spoken to the manager and it is just a back and forth thing.. "I never received it" and "we did put it on your door". My question is should I be liable 100% to pay an extra 30 days rent (at market rate) when they did not do their part in the lease. Why should I take full responsibility for the problem when they never did what they said they were going to do? I pay my rent on time, I've never had issues with the landlord. What should I do?

    They gave you notice in accordance with your lease... READING and UNDERSTANDING financial agreements are ALWAYS a good idea. Abide by the 60 days and take the additional time to move and clean.

    Hello s:

    I always recommend that notice be in writing sent by certified mail, return receipt requested. That way, when and if one gets to court, one HAS written documentation of one's compliance

    If your landlord violated a provision in your lease regarding notice, in order for them to WIN in court, they'll have to PROVE you received it. If they can't, you'll win. If they can, you won't.
