Since you are no longer protected under a fixed term lease, they could easily just give you a 60 day notice to vacate. I would skip saying anything snarkly when dealing with this landlord.
The landlord is required to mail the letter within 21 days. What date was the letter postmarked?
Were the walls damaged?
Did you pay a pet deposit or a non refundable pet fee?
Quincy...i disagree. Tenants should be liable for any damges beyond normal wear and tear. If the lease is silent on the issue of pets, and the tenant has a pet, isn't the tenant responsible for pet damages?
The simple filing of an eviction will show up on your record and yes, it may very well affect your chances with future housing. You can also expect to be sued for any rent that hasn’t been paid.
So..you haven’t paid 2 months of rent and your questioning why the landlord is so upset? To top it off..your worrying about your rights as a non-paying occupant?
Careful....once an eviction lawsuit is filed, it remains in the public records regardless of the outcome of the case. With this on your public record, you will find it very difficult to rent in the future.
Also, unless the landlord owns more than 5 rental units, the security deposit law that requires to notification of the bank where the deposit is being held, does not apply.
You did not present any legal documentation. You only posted a partial part of the statute. Please post the statute that states that you are not required to give notice when the lease requires notice.
Exactly. The standard option to end a lease is actually is 3 months. The statute gives the option to agree that a different notice period or no notice period be applied. You agreed to a 30 notice period.
Regardless of whether there was a lease or not. Michigan state law still requires the tenant to give a 30 day (one full rental period) notice.
