I live in Missouri. My lease expired July 2005, but I still live here. How much notice do I have to give?

Your original lease is still mostly valid. The sixty day term expired, but its other provisions govern the relationship between you and the landlord. But, either you or the landlord may change any of the terms with 30 days notice. Of course, the only real change available to you is to vacate. The landlord can change almost any of the terms.

usually its prorated but it will depend on your landlord and the system they have set up. Just make sure you give them the notice within the legal period requested i believe thirty maybe 21. you;ll have to check on that! or you will be responsible for that time.

I'm sure there is, but a letter might say something like this:\nDear Landlord,\n\n  In accordance with the terms of our lease agreement, I submit to you in writing my intention to vacate the property at 137 My Street Anytown, MO on June 1, 2006.\n\nBest Regards,\n\nJohn Tenant

Even if you don't have a lease you still have some renters rights.  Do you have proof that you have been paying rent? Like copies of checks?  Your rights are different depending on what state you are in, but here in California lease or no lease I think it's 60 days notice.\n\nLegal action is very costly though, I'd recommend just finding a better place.

30 days prior to your lease or rental agreement is over. If you don't pay, you'll get evicted. Just inform your landlord you're moving out unless they can lower your rent. \n\nThis only applies to when your lease or rental agreement is going to expire in 30 days. If you're in a middle of a lease, they cannot raise your rent. E-mail me if you have any questions.\n\nRegards

Proper Notice to Leave\nWhen a tenant wants to move out of a rental unit, it is important that the proper kind of notice be given to the landlord. The following discusses how to end the two most common types of rental agreements. However, it is important that tenants check their own rental agreements to determine what kind of notice must be given before they move out.\n\nLeases. If the tenant moves out at the expiration of a lease, in most cases it is not necessary to give the landlord a written notice. However, the lease should be consulted to be sure a formal notice is not required.\n\nIf a tenant stays beyond the expiration of the lease, and the landlord accepts the next month's rent, the tenant then is assumed to be renting under a month-to-month agreement.\n\nA tenant who leaves before a lease expires is responsible for paying the rent for the rest of the lease. However, the landlord must make an effort to re-rent the unit at a reasonable price. If this is not done, the tenant may not be liable for rent beyond a reasonable period of time.\n\nMonth-to-Month Rental Agreements. When a tenant wants to end a month-to-month rental agreement, written notice must be given to the landlord. The notice must be received at least 20 days before the end of the rental period (the day before rent is due). The day on which the notice is delivered does not count. A landlord cannot require a tenant to give more than 20 days notice when moving out.\n\nWhat if a tenant moves out without giving proper notice? The law says the tenant is liable for rent for the lesser of: 30 days from the day the next rent is due, or 30 days from the day the landlord learns the tenant has moved out. However, the landlord has a duty to try and find a new renter. If the dwelling is rented before the end of the 30 days, the former tenant must pay only until the new tenant begins paying rent.\n\nWhen a landlord wants a month-to-month renter to move out, a 20-day notice is required.

Landlord-tenant legislation in the US is governed by state law.  You need to post the state and country that you are talking about because they are all different.  \n\nIF YOU ARE ON A LONG-TERM LEASE:\nIn most states, the landlord is permitted to charge you for the entire lease period, except if the lanlord or an agent of the landlord accepts your move-out notice, which it appears that he did, because he didn't contact you that it was rejected, he advertisted it as available on 12/15, and he accepted your keys.  So, in that case you should be of the hook on the date mentioned in the notice.\n\nIF YOU ARE ON MONTH-TO-MONTH:\nIf you are on a month-to-month lease, most leases&#92;state laws say that that you are required to give at least 20 days written notice prior to the beginning of the next calendar month or the lease renews itself. \n\nSo technically by giving your notice on 11/16 you are freeing yourself from a month-to-month lease as of 1/1.  However if your notice said you would remain 60 days, so the landlord could hold you liable for payment up until 1/15.  If he had your keys on 11/23 and you were on a month to month, I think it's kind of jerky to charge you from 1/1 to 1/15.  \n\nI don't see any way the landlord could collect from you for the period of 1/16-1/31 unless they argue that your notice was improper, or that they did not accept your notice, in which case they should have sent you a letter saying so, shouldn't have taken your keys, and shouldn't have placed an ad in the paper saying that it would be available on 12/15.  \n\nIn short, I think that you would have a tough time PROVING you're not responsible for 1/1 to 1/15, but if you were on a month to month lease you should write a very nice letter asking them not to charge you for this because you moved out in november.\n\nIf they tried to make you pay for 1/15-1/30 you are on pretty solid ground.  They would have a hard time getting a judge to agree you are liable for 1/15-1/30, due to accepting your notice and keys, and the ad in the paper.  So by not paying that I think that the only thing you risk is a bad rental history.\n\nI don't know of any requirement in any state that says the landlord has to advertise or make the apartment available.\n\nPS:  You must verify this with a lawyer before you act on this answer, which is not legal advice.

If you signed a 12-month lease, then you are obligated to pay the full 12 months unless the lease has a clause saying something to the contrary (e.g., that you can break the lease for a certain penalty).  The fact that you gave 3 months notice won't have any legal bearing, unfortunately.  However, the landlord would have to take you to small claims court to collect the additional rent, which would be a hassle for him, so he would have some incentive to make a deal with you. You may be able to save some money if you continue to negotiate.\n\nNOTE:  I JUST READ THIS on someone else's post:  "Your landlord can't hold you liable for the "whole term". They have a duty to mitigate their damages by renting the unit again as soon as possible."  So it sounds as though I may be wrong--that your landlord can't hold your responsible for all the lost rent.  If your landlord failed to make best efforts to re-rent the place after you gave three month's notice, he may be liable for the lost rent.  You may need to pose this question to a lawyer for a definitive answer.

Um, not really. If the original problem was fixed within reasonable time, and now you hear mice, that is not a viable excuse to move out of the apartment and break your lease.\nContact management again (in writing) and let them know of the mice problem. Log all your contacts with them. (go into the office with your note, ask them to stamp it received and keep a copy) you will need to document the problem especially if it gets bad.\nDo everything in writing, thats what gets most people (nothing in writing). Documentation is everything should you need to go to court.

It seems that you did everything right because after 9.30.2005, the tenancy for a term became a tenacy at will so that either party could terminate the lease provided there was notice. If you could show the written documentation that says you gave them the appropriate 30-day notice, this will help you in court to establish intent to move out. If they are saying they didnt get the keys until mid-November, and there is no physical evidence to say that you didn't turn them in, the landlord will most likely loose because (1) You have written evidence of your intent to move and (2) The landlord will be the plaintiff which means he will have the burden of proving, by a proponderance of evidence (51% or more) that you didn't turn in your keys at the beginning of Novemeber which will be impossible without cameras of some sort.\nBUT, consult a property/contract lawyer. They will know the specific law of your state.

Month to Month is exactly that.....You must give 30 days notice....So tomorrow you will pay July's rent and give Notice of Intent to Vacate......\n\nEven though you are moving out next week, you are responsible for the entire month's rent....\n\nQuite frankly,  a polite letter together w/ the rent check will suffice...you don't need to do an actual Pleading.

You can terminate it.  The lease is over, and you give proper notification.

as long as you have a legal binding up to date lease he cannot kick you out ,but after your lease is up if he chooses not to renew it he don't have to ,had that happen to me once i was the manager on the property and lived there as well new owners came in had to honor my lease and i guess i got lucky they let me keep my job as well

You are not facing eviction. \nYou have been given reasonable time and told the tenancy is no longer available for renewal. \nWithout a tenancy agreement you cannot do anything. \nAsk for the request to be put in writing and start looking for somewhere else - sorry.

Was your orginal lease for only 6 months or 1 year?  If it was for one year, I believe that the home had to sell under the terms of the origianl signed lease/rent amount.  If it was only for 6 months, and then they made you sign a new one with the increase, there isn't much you can do.  As another answer stated, unless there was a "days notice" provision within the original lease, you might be sol.  My husband and I own a rental property and the lease clearly states that after the natural expiration of the origianl lease, lessee or lessor must provide 60 day written notice of intent to move, sell or increase rent.  This is not only designed to protect us as landlords (so the tenants can't just bail on us), but also protect the tenants from us selling the house.  We also added into the lease that if we chose to sell the property during the time of their original lease, the lease would be transferred to the new owner/ladlord, as is, that no increase or changes could be implemented until the expiration of the lease.  If you ever rent again there are a few things you should make sure of:\n\n1.  When the preliminary walk through is done, make sure they have a check list of all the appliances, condition of the home, (cracks, dents in walls, etc.), etc. that you both sign off on.  You should also get a copy of this checklist as well.  This way when you move out, there is a clear outline of the items, conditions, etc. and there will be no surprises.  \n\n2.  Make sure your lease clearly states what will happen if the property is sold while you are under contract with them.  If there is nothing in the lease that discuss days notice, etc., make sure it is added.  \n\n3.  Ask the landlord what happens if you decide to live in the house beyond the termination of the lease.  Will the rent amount increase?\n\n4.  Ask for points of contact for repairs and emergencies.  Who handles them?  Is there a request for repair form that you need to complete?  \n\nGoogle the phrase renters rights.  There are a lot of sites that deal with laws and regulations for each specific state.  If you were not given notice, and you feel that you were coerced into signing a new lease because you had no where else to go, you may have a case.  Good luck.

It depends on where you live. In Nevada, you have to advise the landlord of the problem, in writing. Be ready to prove that you gave her the notice (keep a copy, send it certified, return receipt requested). Once she receives the notice, she has 48 hours to fix the problem. This would be true for "essential services" only, things like refrigerator, stove, air conditioning, but not for things like dirty carpet or a broken television. If she doesn't fix the problem, you could file a complaint with HUD or you could file a lawsuit.\n\nWhatever you do, don't just move out, especially if you are under a lease agreement. If you break a lease, you will be the one paying.\n\nGood luck, I hope this helps.

I'm assuming that there is a lease involved here...\n\nTypically, in the leases that I've seen OWNERS and their agents have right to enter the property with reasonable notice (typically min 24 hours).\n\nRead the lease, typically this will be under the NOTICE paragraph or ENTRY paragraph or INSPECTION.\n\nIt is not uncommon for an owner to inspect an apartment/unit when a tenant gives notice and again at the lease termination.\n\nSounds to me like you are dealing with an a**.\n\nGood luck, hope this helps.
