giving notice early

By MG

I am on a month to month lease.  I gave notice on June 20th after finding out our property managers are changing on July 1. The owner’s daughter and her husband will now be managing.  They have been unresponsive to issues in the past that have required their approval.  I was told that due to this change and the month to month status of my lease that I do not have to give 30 days notice, that I can end on July 1.  Is this accurate?

Hi Mg,

Here the best thing is that you had month to month lease that will be helping you for quick release. As you had given notice that was a best safer side that a rental can used to. My opinion is that why don’t you discuss all your past experience of unresponsiveness and discomfort made by upcoming manager with your existing landlord. If possible he can replace with some other person or giving you an assurance that he will be supporting you each and every thing without having interference with new manager.

I think 10-15 days is enough for a landlord for making any change. But here important thing would be to check your lease agreement. Either it’s on landlord whether to release or not.
> Is any notice period Mention on it.
>Is any thing mention regarding property manager replacement.

If still something goes wrong you can contact to RPA(http://www.rentalprotectionagency.com) for best solution.

It is good that you have given early notice. It would be best if you have them sign the notice just to make things official. As what most people would say prevention is better than cure. This is just to avoid facing courts in the end. This is just a suggestion. In case your landlord would not sign it or just want it to be verbal you can always rate them as landlord through RPA’s apartment rating at http://www.rentalprotectionagency.com/apartment-rating.php. You could help people know more about your previous landlord.
