........ But it's clearly an eviction notice........
You have not received an eviction notice. You have received a notice to vacate. Those two things are not the same at all. Your landlord is terminating your agreement. He is not evicting (yet). An order of eviction is issued by a judge and it is a legal procedure through the court system. Once th e judge issues the order, the sheriff comes and tosses you out.
Do not go around saying you have been evicted. When you are applying, you tell the new landlord that the old landlord wanted his place back. That is the point where you tell the potential new landlord that the reason was your medical marijuana. You might as well find out before you pay application fees whether or not the new landlord is going to object to medical marijuana.
Ok. Thank you all so much for the support and recommendations (with websites). I haven't contacted my landlord to negotiate the deposits; how is the best way to go about that?
I'm trying to find a new place by 2/1. I haven't asked my LL specifically but for the LL's on here, if you told a tenant via text to find a new place asap on 1/22 would you expect them out 2/1? Or 3/1? Part of me is worried that because they are lawyers if we move out 2/1 they won't have someone else for the unit and will say we didn't give official notice and try to screw us. I'm trying to make it right with the LL's but they haven't given much direction. At this point, I'm trying to get out by 2/1... Any thought appreciated.
I was thinking of contacting my landlord, in writing, with my new lease agreement. I'm currently looking for a new place, but I was going to find one, and then run it by him and confirm that it's OK for me to move out. I just don't want to get sued for breaking my lease because of something told over text.
Was thinking I would give them a new lease agreement, before signing it, and just confirm that that's OK. I thought about point I could try to negotiate the security deposit, as well. This way I thought it would get in writing that it's OK for me to move out despite me not providing any notices or whatever. Just trying to cover myself.
If I wanted you out it would most likely require a 60 day written notice.
There are exceptions if you are classified as a Lodger... doesn't sound like you meet this definition because generally if there is more than one "Lodger"... they are tenants.
So I take it your partner has resolved to vacate and move?
LL should give you a formal written notice giving you at 'least' 30 days notice for nonrenewal of your MTM lease to vacate. In some cases it is 60 days depending on your state, your lease and how long you have been there. Does your lease state anything about nonrenewing the lease and how much notice is required on both the LL and tenant end? If not, then you go by your state's tenant/landlord laws on requirements for nonrenewing a lease.
There should be no guessing on any of this. It should be spelled out clearly for you in your lease or by state statutes. They can't just up and tell you to get out without following the specific laws and statutes.
