If you are in the apartment any part of the month, you are responsible for the entire months rent.

Here in ny a landlord cannot hold you to a lease while deemed taking back control by taking the apartment away , going in and fixing or painting ,etc …he can’t double dip …..

He could rent it but not allow possession until your lease is up , that is a different issue.

Once a landlord takes control he implied a new deal.

So you may need an attorney to interpret your states operation of law as it applies to leases

I agree, that is why I don't consider such options. It is not right. I did try to do right by my landlord though as good as possible, considering the circumstances. Now I am just trying to wrap this up without having to pay extra for whatever else he will come up with next. I am really tired of his little petty games, trying to make a few bucks here and there and I am not having it. If I had not taken pictures on move in, he would have charged me hundreds of dollars for repairs. I forgot to mention that he did not do a walk-though with me when I moved in or moved out, even though I had requested it so we can go over the checklist together. Go figure...

Also, next time ask legal for a move out inspection on your behalf. Those inspectors/services aren't just for military housing, they are for off base private rentals too.

That is a good idea. Thank you!

That is what it is supposed to be . However if you understood anything I posted , it was as easy as pie for my ex wife’s attorney to get her out of being responsible
