I just moved out of a rental house. Do i still have to pay the last months rent?

Question

He never fixed anything i told him was broken. I had to patch holes where rats where coming and also put in a new thermostat and also one of the windows had a big crack int that was never fixed. i signed a rental agreement for one year but i never signed for a renewal. i didnt get an eviction notice so should i pay the last monts rent?

Answer 1

Yes, of course.   If you did not give a 30 day notice and moved out today you owe through September.   If you gave notice by July 1 you only owe for August.

Answer 2

Whatever issues you had are not a legal reason to not pay the last months rent.

You should have dealt with the issues per your states landlord tenants laws. Sent certified letters requesting repairs, etc.

Answer 3

consult a real estateattorny laws vary in each state

Answer 4

If you never signed a renewal I would not think so, I just hope you took some pictures and every time you talked to him,  maybe he will let you pay portion of it since he never fixed anything ( you do not want him messing with your credit report)
