Q: Can my renters refuse to pay rent on the 1st because he paid last months rent. without 30 days notice
My renter was given a 3 day eviction notice June 24th for lease violations. He is dodging Police to serve him . Tomorrow is the 1st of the month for rent and still not moved out. He says he does not have to pay me because he paid his last months rent 4 years ago. THere is no new lease since 2021. He is verbally on a month to month. Isn't he supposed to give ME 30 days notice for his last month rent to qualify?
A: It depends on the language of the original lease agreement. At the end of a lease term, if a tenant holds over (remains in possession of the premises), the lease renews on the same terms and conditions stated in the original lease agreement month-to-month.
