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.
In some states, after a year lease is fulfilled, if no future negotiations are made, the lease becomes a month-to-month contract.
Even still, not only is there no way that you have to pay for May or June without having signed anything, you very likely provided them with some kind of sign on collateral like most lease deals require, like first and last month’s rent, plus security deposit, something like that. That should all be coming back to you.
