Q: My lease isn’t being renewed I found a place to move but have to move 20 days before my lease is up
My landlord gave me a 90 day notice that they weren’t going to renew my lease. I finally found a place I could move to but I can’t wait until November 30 to move. I paid last months rent when I moved in so I applied it to October and paid for the 10 days I will be there in November. Now she is threatening me for the balance of the 20 days. Do I have any legal recourse or do I have to pay her the balance she She has arrest me every month when my lease states that I have till the fifth to pay my rent on the second of every month she puts a three day notice to pay on my door text pictures and send them to me. I don’t feel obligated to pay her for the days that I no longer going to be living there it’s only 20 days
A:
She is not obligated to pro-rate the rent, so if she will let you occupy until November10th, pay for the full month.
I don't know what you mean by "... She has arrest me every month …"; she cannot have you arrested.
