Q: Do I have to go by August 31st or do I have until September 30th?
My lease is coming to an end in August. The landlord has last month’s rent and security deposit. On the first of August I pay my rent and the landlord cashes the check. He then calls me and states, I need to sign a new one year lease on the 10th of the August. I ask if I can go month to month because I am buying a house, the landlord refuses and states that he is sending notice for me to go by August 31st. Do I have to go by August 31st or do I have until September 30th?
A: End of August your lease is up and the notice is by August 31st terminating your tenancy. You must be out August 31 or face eviction.
