I’m very confused about something. In our lease it said we had to give 30 days notice to move out. The jerk kept saying a Calender month (we moved in on the 25th of September, gave notice to move out on the 7th of October for sometime around November 7th, but we paid rent from 24th of Oct. to 7th of November; our rent was due on the 24-25th of each month). So while we did give 30 days notice, but the tenant guide is saying one month for outside of NY City, did we fail to give sufficient notice? I mean, clearly there have to be some substantial factors in why we were requesting to move out so shortly after we had moved in, I feel as though that warrants consideration, although they may not think so. The guide gave an example of (if the rent is paid at the 1st of each month, and the tenant is to move on the 1st of November, notice must be given by September 30th. So it is saying I should have given notice the day BEFORE I moved in? (Lol) This was the biggest issue in the case, because he kept telling me it was one calender month and if we moved out before December 1st, that we’d lose our security deposit. BUT then he kept saying after that part, that if he found someone to move in before that there would be no loss on his part and implied that our security deposit would be returned. I’m also still trying to ascertain when the new tenant moved in, before or after the 7th.
I’m wondering…if we did not give sufficient notice to move out, and were still supposed to be living there/paying rent and he allowed someone else to move in before hand, does that nullify or void anything? Man, I’m so pissed at this guy.
