My lease ended last month and my rent went up * dollars a month because I’m on month to month, there is no new contract but my landlord wants me to give her two months in advance to move out. If I don’t I would have to pay a penalty of * dollars and if course if I don’t pay it it would go the my credit record. Is that legal? I mean I’m on month to month basis I should be able to leave the apartment when ever I want to.
I was trying to leave at the end of this month because of the rent increase but they told me that I had to give them 60 days in advance
