I don't know if you are on an annual lease or not, but if you are, it appears you need to give a 60 day notice. Other notice periods apply depending on the length of the lease.

it seems whomever wrote that article was wrong, but we have the clear understanding that if the lease does not mention anything about notices or fees for not giving one, then a tenant will just use his discretion whether he gives notice or not and how soon.

So much misinformation, it's astounding!

Again, if you have a lease with a specific lease end AND the lease does not require you to give notice, then you do not need to give notice. A landlord can require up to 60 days notice on this type of lease. Most standard residential leases do not have a notice requirement, but you should read yours carefully, of course.

If you are still in the unit after the end of your lease, and you did not sign a new lease, and you pay month to month, then you are a month to month tenant. You have a 15 day notice requirement. If you sign a new lease, see above.

In reference to an "annual" lease and the statutes that require notice, this is easily confused. In the Statutes where it discusses notice requirements, this is based on WHEN you pay, not how long the lease is for. If you pay month to month, you are a month to month tenant, if you pay yearly, you are annual, but again, not if you have a lease with a specific duration, which has it's own notice requirements. It's important to read these laws, they aren't that long and not that complicated.

A landlord does not need to keep your deposit in an interest bearing account. There are rules if they do, but they are not required to do so and almost all do not, just to avoid the headache for the .002% interest.

Thanks for clarifying it. I misinterpreted that part of the disclosures in the rental agreement. Although it says that the landlord has to inform You if the deposit was invested or not.
Suspicious by nature, I bet that a property management company could bundle all these security deposits, invest them, make a profit and keep it quiet. As long as the tenant gets his full deposit back at the end of the lease, no one is going to dig any further.
