Lease Termination Notice Guidelines

Full Conversation

I live in Ohio I signed a lease to move into an apartment on April 30th and paid for Mays rent. However I have to move due to family issues. I wrote a 30 day notice letter to vacate June 30th. I plan on paying the rent for June May 28th Am I giving enough notice to vacate? If I pay the rent on the 28th and should I vacate on the 28th of June?
Hello Teaza Ingram. In Ohio, a *-day notice is generally sufficient for termination of month-to-month leases. Given your timeline:
- You provided notice on May 30th for vacating by June 30th.
- Paying June's rent on May 28th is acceptable.
However, it's always advised to review your lease agreement for any specific notice requirements.
Ok thank you. One quick question it says on the paperwork this lease started April 30th * and ends April * *. But underneath that it states the renewal of the contract is every month. I’m confused if I give my notice in May can they make me pay for a whole year?
Hello Teaza Ingram. In Ohio, the interpretation of your lease may depend on its specific wording.
- If your lease is yearly but renews monthly, you may be committed for a year.
- However, if it's a month-to-month lease after the initial term, giving a *-day notice should be sufficient.
Always consult your lease agreement or seek legal advice for your specific situation.
Ok thanks
