Due to loss of employment I had to move from my apartment that I have been at for the past four years.  There has never been any problems in the past between myself and the landlord.  I originally sign a one year lease and renewed it twice, however the last year (2009) (The last signed leas I have is from 2007no renewal was signed and I requested that I go to a month to month lease.  On December 1st I gave my notice to move.  I was informed that I had to give 60 days notice.  Upon checking my rights with the State of Minnesota website I learned that when there is no new lease signed the terms automatically go to month to month and the standard 30 day requirement is in effect.  Please let me know if I’m wrong.  I then took a letter to my landlord stating this and asked if we could come to mutually agreeable solution.  I never got a response and had to move on January 1.  I cleaned my apartment including washing all the walls and seilings but had to lleav some items in due to lack of time and space.  I willing gave up my security deposit to cover  the expense for disposing of those items.  I recently received an invoice from my landlord stating that I owed $642.23 to cover one months rent and additional expense for removing ites left in the apartment.  I dont believe I owe the final months rent due to the state laws, however would be willing to offer up to $200 to the apartment complex.  What are my rights?
