What is the name of your state? CA
I have a couple questions. Our landlord presented us with a 60 day Notice to Vacate. The last day in our house is October 3. Since he presented the notice to us - and we plan to vacate Sept 15 - are we responsible for rent for the full month of September? I asked my landlord this and she said yes - and that any overpaid rent will be returned to us. But that does not sound right to me since we will not be residing in the house after Sept 15. We have always been on a month to month and have lived there 4 1/2 years. Mind you the amount of rent they expect us to pay and be remburised back is $681.28.
A large amount to overpay I feel. We also have 1650.00 on a security deposit.
Second question - I requested a pre-inspection from our LL and she suggested that it is done this next week. I told her that all of our stuff is still in the house and there are all kinds of stuff all throughout the house (I mean we still have to live and work before out move out date) and the carpet can't be possibly cleaned with all the stuff still in there. She said we can still inspect the house for damages and you can just state the carpets be cleaned. My feeling is that a pre-inspection should be done with all tenant belongings out of the house and the place cleaned so that a good inspection can be conducted. I feel that to much could be discovered by "LL" and trumped up charges could detain some of our large security deposit if all is not viewable upon inspection. Mind you I plan to take pictures and video of the home upon move out - just like I did upon moving in. Anyones thoughts on this?
Thanks in Advance
