Default renters question

As many of you guys knwo we just went to contracton a house and hope to be closing in early june. Also that our landlord is a nutjob and is tryingto make our lives hell. We need to double check the lease but I believe we need to give 30 days notice before we leave, which we plan to do and not a day earleir. (he doesnt know we went to contract yet)

Were figuring on telling him may first we will be out on june 15th and wont pay any rent and use the deposit. Is this a common practice, also do youi think theres any real leagal recourse he could take. Mind you its an illegal mother daughter house and he doesnt live there so I dont know if its in his best intrests to involve the authorities.

Providing the 30 days notice is wise and using the deposit as the last month's rent is quite common. At least it has been for me.

Legal or not, trying to get out of the situation without stirring up too much is always nice.

in other situations I would give even more notice, but this guys been a real dick about stuff latley and could give us a hassle about stuff. esp if things got delayed or fell through like had happened to us with other houses. I know the laws seem to favor tennants but dont need any further hassle from him.

If thats the case I would wait till the house is a done deal and then give him the notice when the house is yours. Even if it may mean paying an extra months rent.

From the sounds of the dude you want to burn this bridge, just make sure you are safely on the other side first!

Exactly, word is were going to go to closing and move in in early june, we should know a more exact date this week, since the seller just got her stuff together for her move too.

Check your lease and see if you're on a 30 or 60 day notice. While the renter may not want to involve any kinda legal shit, they could create a hell of a hassle in terms of cash and annoyance. My last apartment complex tried to keep my deposit by claiming we didn't give full notice. I had the paperwork proving that I did, but it was a minor clusterfuck trying to get things straightened out.
