Q: If I have to be out February 19th can my landlord charge me a full months rent or dose he have to pro rate it?
My Lease isn't up May 1st but he gave me a no cause eviction
A:
Whoa here...your posting suggests you are on a fixed term lease until May 1st. If accurate, your landlord cannot terminate your tenancy without cause before then. Plus, if you are in the City of Portland's city limits, it would have to be a 90 day no cause notice if it was otherwise legal. Depending upon the exact facts, the landlord might also owe you a relocation assistance payment of several thousand dollars. So strongly consider reviewing everything with a landlord-tenant attorney to learn your specific rights and how to best assert them.
All this said, whenever your last month is, the rent must be prorated on a daily basis.
Good luck.
