Summary
A lease termination notice requires 60 days written notice for fixed-term leases and 30 days for month-to-month tenancies. Rent is due through the notice period or lease term end, whichever is later. If the tenant fails to provide full notice, they may be charged for the remaining notice period, up to two months rent. If the tenant provides the required notice, they should not be charged extra. If a landlord demands additional rent despite proper notice, it may be an unfair request.Full Conversation
Yes. What does this section stipulate?
This section outlines the requirements for terminating a lease:
- Either party can terminate the lease by providing at least 60 days' written notice for a fixed-term lease, or 30 days' notice for a month-to-month tenancy.
- Rent is due through the end of the notice period or lease term, whichever is later.
- If the tenant fails to provide the full notice, they will be charged for the remaining notice period, up to a maximum of two months' rent.
Does this mean that the tenant must pay 60 days rent?
Yes, if the tenant provides the required 60 days' notice for terminating a fixed-term lease, they must pay rent through the end of that *-day notice period. If the tenant doesn't provide the full 60 days' notice, they will be charged for the remaining days of the notice period, but the charge will not exceed two months' rent.
What if they give 60 days notice?
Case Rating: *
If the tenant gives the required 60 days' notice, they will be responsible for paying rent through the end of that *-day notice period. This ensures that both parties have adequate time to make necessary arrangements. Is there anything else you need clarification on regarding lease termination?
Is there a loophole for the owner to charge the tenant even if they give 60 days notice?
Case Rating: *
In Georgia, if you provide the required 60 days' notice, you are typically responsible for paying rent through the end of that notice period. The landlord should not charge you extra beyond that, provided you follow the lease terms. There usually isn't a legal loophole for the landlord to charge you more if you've complied with the notice requirement.
Do you have any specific concerns or issues that have arisen with your landlord regarding this notice period?
Yes, they told us that we will need to pay two months extra rent even if we give 60 days notice
Case Rating: *
It seems like you might be dealing with an unfair request from your landlord. If you've given the required 60 days' notice as stipulated in your lease, you shouldn't have to pay extra rent beyond that period.
Could you provide more details about your lease agreement and any communication you've had with your landlord regarding this issue?
