I am in the process of moving out of my apartment because the rent is increasing. The lease states that I need to give notice on the first of the month in order to leave without having to continue to paying (my lease is month-to-month right now). The landlord sent out rent increase notices on February 27th for a rent increase on April 1st. I didn’t get the notice until March 4th. If I would have received the noticed before the beginning of March I would have given notice at that time. The landlord is trying to charge me for April rent and I do not think I should pay April rent because the notice was not received before March 1st. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the notices. I will move out before the rent incrases on April 1st. I wil be out March 25th. I live in Washington, DC. I know this has a lot ot do with local laws and leases. The lease states to give notice at the beginning of the month, but I would have given notice if I had received the rent increase notice before the beginning of the month.
