Q: Do you have to pay full rent for the final month of mtm rental if 30 day notice is given in the middle of the month.
I have a month to month rent situation. No contract. I pay rent on the 1st of the month. If I give 30 days notice on the 15th of May, do I have to pay full rent on the 1st of June?
A: No, if you provide a valid and enforceable notice of termination, you only need to pay rent through that last day. In this case, that would mean you need only pay June rent on a pro-rated basis (presumably through June 14 if served on May 15 and is for exactly 30 days).
