Q: If I'm renting with a verbal agreement on the amount of rent. And the owner of the property asks me to move out.
And he said he wanted me out by the end of the month if it takes me longer to move out than that 30 days and my still required to pay the rent even though I was asked to leave? And I am moving out in the process of it. Due to work schedule and help moving of other people is making is making it take longer than the 30 days.
A: If you pay rent and the landlord accepts the rent, you are a month-to-month tenant and have effectively continued the lease for one month. This can continue indefinitely, provided the tenant keeps paying and the landlord keeps accepting payment. The landlord is not required to accept payment and may refuse. In these situations it is usually better to contact the landlord prior to the hold-over event.
