Q: Can landlord force a tenant out before end of a lease because they have new tenants which want to move in 15 days early
Lease ends June 30th. Paid until end of month. Planning on using last month to move to new residence. Landlord refuses to pro-rate from June 15-30.
A: No, you can stay there until midnight on June 30. if the landlord wants you to leave early they can offer to buy you out of the rest of the lease. But you do not have to accept. You get to decide.
Terrence H Thorgaard agrees with this answer
A: And the landlord doesn't have to pro-rate either.
