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

One of my neighbors that talks to my father and David about the cops being at our house when John Carnegie thought that we needed to call the cops and he helped me call the cops on my dad and there were even recordings verifying my friends about my dad and there was a second time someone named Derry Johnston called the cops because she thought I was suicidal my neighbor only heard my dad's side of all this so this morning when Jill was trying to enter into an Uber car my neighbor named Gene shouted across the street and said this to Dale " Hey you need to stop" Dale did not say anything back to the guy and entered the Uber. He said "Hey you" a rude greeting and then he said " you need to stop" they just believe anything that my father and David says in a brief interaction in the front yard they don't go do anything that we go through around here
It sounds like you are experiencing ongoing issues with neighbors and family members involving law enforcement. To provide more relevant legal information, could you please let me know your location (city/state)? This will help me tailor the information to your specific situation.
I am in Suffolk County New York
It sounds like you are dealing with a complex situation involving neighbor disputes and law enforcement interactions. Here are some general legal guidelines for handling such issues in Suffolk County, New York:
- Harassment: New York law defines harassment as any behavior intended to annoy, alarm, or threaten another person. If you feel harassed by your neighbors, you may consider filing a complaint with the police.
- Defamation: If false statements are being made about you, this could potentially be a case of defamation. Defamation involves false statements that harm your reputation.
- Restraining Orders: If you feel threatened, you can seek a restraining order against individuals causing you distress.

If someone screamed across the street to hear you you better stop at my brother who is handicapped and also has dementia is that a crime
In New York, yelling across the street and making a statement like "you better stop" could potentially be considered harassment, especially if it is part of a pattern of behavior intended to cause distress. However, a single incident might not rise to the level of a crime unless it involves threats or is part of ongoing harassment.
