Q: We gave the 30 day notice to our landlord on July 10 will be moving on August 10. Now she want me to pay whole month
She said even thought the 30 days is on august 10 we will need to pay for the whole month and if she rented the property she will reimburse us, she also said we can not stay longer than the 10 because that’s the day we request to move out. So why we need to paid for a full month don’t Understand, we are prorating the amount of rent also utilities but she wants us to paid whole month of utilities also.
A: Unless your rental agreement says differently, you can give 30 days notice at any time. That means you can prorate the rent, as you did. Not sure what your arrangement is on utilities, since those are usually billed after you use them, but in the end those should be prorated so you only pay for the time you use them. Check your rental agreement to be sure it doesn't say something like notice can only be given at the beginning of a month.
