30-days//want to move but landlord never gave notice (CA)?

Question

Please help! My lease is up, and I want to move out, but I haven't given a 30-days notice. The reason why I haven't was because my landlord never gave me notice and before I realized it, it's already at the end of the month.

Any help, thoughts, or suggestion? Is the landlord even allow to do that? I mean not give/send out notices because "she didn't have time?"

I live in California.

Answer 1

You need to read your lease.  Does it have a auto renewal clause?  If your lease was for 1 year, and it auto renewed, you have another year with that landlord.  If it doesn't, than after your lease is expired, you are on a month to month.  All you have to do is give a 30 day notice on the 1st of any month, pay that months rent, and move out on or before the 30th day.

Answer 2

Excuse me, but you seeking excuses for not doing something mechanical;

You did not mention that you want to move.  IF you do, you must state

so in writing.  

IF not, just pay the lease payments monthly as you

are soon to be on a month to month lease.

Answer 3

As long as your lease did not auto renew, you are now a month ot month tenant. So give your 30 day notice to move.

In California, you can give notice on any day and pay only for the next 30 days.

If you were to give notice today, the 22nd, you would be liable for rent until the 21st of next month. You could move out earlier, but you are liable for the rent through the 30 day notice period.

Answer 4

Its not a big deal, just dont sign a new lease.  Start looking around for a new place and give your 30 days notice with the rent that is due for September.  

Answer 5

It's not your landlord's responsibility to inform you when your lease is up.  That's why YOU have a copy of the lease.  If you failed to provide the required notice, you have either defaulted to a month-to-month lease (for which you will owe at least one month's additional rent) OR your lease has automatically renewed for another year.

Read your lease to find out which situation applies to you.
