Can my landlord force me to pay for the entire month when we are moving out mid-month?
We live in the state of OH. My husband’s mom 3 yrs ago found the rental house we are living in as she was friends with the landlord. I don’t recall ever having signed a lease; we were on supposedly friendly terms. Big mistake! We paid cash each month as he preferred & we received no rent receipts. To make a long story short, things got ugly, we bought a house & are moving mid-May. Landlord states we must pay the entire month; I asked him to provide me a copy of the original lease, & he brought me a completely blank (as in no dates or signatures) contract; it looked like something he just printed from the internet, & inserted only HIS name into. I told him I needed to have the actual signed contract & he said he wasn’t sure he could find it, but regardless, we owe him the full months rent. He said my husband’s mom was power of attorney for him at the time, insinuating she signed for him; there has been family conflict since my husband had the POA revoked 2 yrs ago. We have a mess-help!

Tenzij hij een huur kan verstrekken die door uw echtgenoot of zijn mamma werd ondertekend, of als hij proe kan dat u hem huur elke maand betaalde (soort moeilijk zonder enige huurontvangstbewijzen de contant geldbetalingen – eveneens andere grotere problemen voor hem waarschijnlijk zou veroorzaken) u zou van de haak moeten zijn.

I have never lived anywhere the rent was pro rated for part of a month. I think if this were to go to small claims court the judge would make you pay for the whole month. The property must remain vacant for that month, technically it would still be yours. Pay the man, get the problem out of your life. It’s not worth the hassle.

You have no legal agreement. I’d say you could move without owing anything. (I’m in Ohio.)

They have your security! Just don’t pay…Write them a letter forfeiting your security….it is money they are holding.
UNLESS your contract states that if you move out before the lease’s fiscal month is over you will be charge a prorated amount, then NO.

in de meeste huurgevallen, wanneer één het eigenaarbericht zich geeft te bewegen. het is een 30 dagbericht. als u een actieve huur had, kon hij u tot hij re-huren het bezit laden. als u schriftelijk een 30 dagbericht zoals vereist in wet gaf, toen geen u don' t is a verschuldigd prorated bedrag. ongeacht een huidige huur, als u slechts een 10 dagbericht gaf bent u op de haak 20 dagen. het huren van familie en vrienden beëindigt altijd slecht.

Juridisch, zonder een ondertekende huur, bent u een maandelijkse huurder en moet een maandenbericht geven vrij te maken. Betekenend als u huur op de eerste betaalt, geeft u bericht voorafgaand aan de eerste. Als u opmerkt zeg de vierde u van de volgende maandenhuur en niet een proratebedrag de oorzaak zullen zijn.
