| |  Pro rate rent
What is the name of your state? Maryland
HI, I live in MD. My lease expired on March 31. I gave written notice on March 10, that I will vacate on April 9. The office stated they entered my notice as of March 14. She stated that I had to pay for the entire month of April. I advised them I will pay for the 30 days notice which is until April 14th. The lease does not stipulate that they can not pro rate me out. They pro rated me into the apt. but, they will not pro rate me out and do not have a reason. I've given them half the rent today which is for April 1-15th and I stated that I will still be moving out on April 9th. Can I still be liable for the other 15 days? I think they are getting the better end of the deal.
Thanks! |

| | | Your lease sounds like it was from the first of the month to the end of the month , monthly for a Yr.
Just because they pro rated you for a move in means nothing , you are still required to pay the full months rent . You can notify them you are moving out early and that does not make a difference .

| | | Blonde Lebinese is correct.
In many States your notice would not be effective (the clock wouldn't start ticking) until May 31 and you would be liable for the entire months rent.
A LL doesn't have any obligation to pro rate upon move in or move out. Your LL did you a favor by pro rating upon move in.
The only way that you could avoid being held liable is if the LL can rent the apartment for April 15. |

| | Yep... What Blonde Lebinese said
Sounds like you cannot give notice any time you want, this is not unusual Quote: |
