I’ll try to keep this brief. Our lease ends at the end of this month, APRIL. my wife and I have not signed anything to renew any lease whatsoever. We submitted our notice on April 3rd and our last will be May 31st.
They are telling me that per our “contract” that we have to pay for the full month of JUNE as well. Even though our actual contract ends April 30th. And we are doing a month to month for May (this is what happens when you don’t sign or renew the lease) So we have not signed a new contract or agreed to anything, we gave a move out notice, and they’re telling us no.
I also have all documents and “receipts” to back up this claim.
This. If the term of the lease ends on 30 April and OP intends to move out on 31 May, and if the lease has provisions that convert the term to month-to-month if still “in possession” of the apartment, then those provisions will control. Many leases in the USA have a 60 day notice requirement when under a month-to-month term, but the exact period varies.
Had OP planned to move out exactly on 30 April, and gave the required notice (usually none) as the lease demands, then that would be A-OK. So OP must either reassess their move-out plans, or negotiate with the management company for some alternative.
