I have a Question as a Renter/Tennant If someone can help me (apartment)

[MischiefWV]

I have been living in the same apartment for over 4 years and never resigned a lease after the first year, or with my most recent roommate that moved in. I am wanting to move as soon as possible. What notice if any am I required to give in order to vacate the premises without liability?


thanks

Well, I'm not a lawyer, but I would think you're technically not under contract anymore. However, I would look at that lease, read the fine print, and see if they have/have not been automatically renewing your lease every year. Also, look for your exit clauses (ie, giving one month notification, etc.)

WebDude is correct. (owe points) Don't forget any deposits.

You might also want a referral document from your landlord for any future renting or credit situations.
