Q: My boyfriend and I are on the rental lease, we broke up and he said 2-3 weeks i need to be gone.
I called him in a Lie 2 years ago and every time I catch him he gets more and more uncomfortable and now that we're breaking up I have to be out in 2 weeks because I do believe when you cheat on me he's having that girl move in here do I have to leave in the 2 weeks or does he have to give me 30 days

A:
You don’t have to leave in two weeks unless both of you mutually agree to that. Since your name is on the lease, you have legal rights to remain in the property until the lease expires or is formally broken. The landlord would usually need to be involved in making any changes to the lease.
If your boyfriend wants you to leave, he can’t force you out without going through the proper legal channels. Most states require a 30-day notice for any changes involving tenants, especially if there’s no immediate danger or violation of the lease.
It may be a good idea to review your lease agreement and your local tenant laws to understand your rights fully. If you're uncomfortable or feel pressured, consider speaking with a legal expert to get advice specific to your situation.
