Q: Can a landlord revoke a notice to vacate?
My sister and I provided a 60-day notice to vacate as required by our binding lease. About a month later, I inquired about the requirements to transfer instead, but I never signed anything binding me to the transfer. I never signed a new lease, and I was not notified that asking about the transfer would void my previous notice. They said that my intent was enough for them to remove the 60-day notice from my file, and because of this, they charged me for not notifying them.. I still moved out by my originally scheduled move out date.
A: Your simple "inquiry" does not revoke or rescind your notice to vacate. You must challenge the landlord's action in court.
