Boston, MA asked in Landlord - Tenant for Rhode Island

Q: Notice to landlord to move less than 30 days as agreed on lease. what will happen. Ending 3yr lease.

Thought move out date was 02/28/15. We requested copy of lease to see if we paid last month or deposit. Lease actually up 01/31/15. We do not want to renew lease based on living conditions and the landlord. Due to thinking end of lease was a month later we made arrangements to move to a suitable living space on 03/01/15. How can we rectify are one month mistake with landlord. Will we be homeless for a month. Are we able to pay Feb to give us time to move and the landlord time to show the rental property. Please help!

A: I suspect the landlord will accept your money for the additional month as you are now considered holdover tenants because your lease has expired and it would be more economical for him to take your money for the additional month than to retain an attorney to evict you in that same month.
