Q: Do I have to pay rent through the 90 day eviction notice or can I move out early without charge for the last months rent
A: If you have received a 90 Day No Cause Termination of Tenancy Notice, you must be on a month to month tenancy. As such, you are free to move out anytime with providing at least 30 days prior written notice to the landlord. So the landlord has told you to be out on day 90. You need to be gone on that date or face possible eviction. You are free to leave before then if you wish but have to provide at least 30 days prior written notice. Regardless, you owe rent for everyday you occupy the dwelling or retain possession of it, regardless of notice, and if you move out before day 90, you will owe rent through the later of your actual move out date or the 30 days from when you give your written notice.
