Allbot Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 So i just got a question, do you still need to inform the building office that you're moving out ahead of time even if your on a lease? cause I had a 9 month lease for this school year and they just informed me that I cant move out at the end of this month because I didnt tell them 6 week ahead of time and that I have to stay another month :evil: .

Imalilranger Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 or just stop paying and make them kick you out :D Unless your RSN is "imalil[bleep]er", please keep the title appropriate. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriyama Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 or just stop paying and make them kick you out :D For which they then can take him to court, and make it harder for him to lease a house again. If you haven't got better advice then that, then piss off. OT: I suggest looking through your contract, even the fine, and look for a loophole. If there is none, you're stuck. Unfortunately.

Allbot Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 If that was a requirement listed in the lease, yes. do you know that that is usually included in the lease agreement? OT: i found a line on the lease that states that a month-to-month tenant must give knotice written knotice 60 days ahead of time would that get me off the hook?

If you genuinely want to contest this, get a lawyer, or at least a free consult/citizen advice bureau/similar source of advice before you act. No-one on this forum is suitable to give legal advice (I'm a second year law student, and I still wouldn't dare give you advice, even if I'd read the lease contract) and you'd be silly to rely on it, or any other source of random legal advice on the internet that does not take into account your jurisdiction, contract, and surrounding facts. Legal aid/citizen's advice exist for a reason, if you want to argue this, lawyer up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allbot Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 that would cost more than staying an extra month wouldnt it? im really asking for general advice from anyone who may have been in similar situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you give written notice 60 days (roughly 2 months) ahead of time that you wanted to move out? Honestly, if you can afford to, just stay the extra month. Its a lot less of a hassle.

Kiriyama Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 So wait... The agreement was that you paid monthly, and that you were only to be staying for 9 months? If thats in writing, theres your way out. If not, then unfortunately, you sound buggered. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allbot Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 So wait...

Kiriyama Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Well, if its explictly said in the contract that it is a 9 month lease, and you have a signed copy, which is dated, then you should have your way out. EDIT: Oh, and they are likely to have the original contract anyway. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiriyama Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Sucks. To be honest, I'd go over every single part of the agreement to make sure it is stated. Then double check, just to take my mind off it. Good luck with your final, sucks to have this to worry about the night before. Plus the stress of it won't be helping. I've got my Int 2 English exam tomorrow, and I am dreading it.

To be honest, I find the system to be pretty [bleep]ed up... Yeah okay, our teachers' can teach us what they think the questions will relate to (I've got Valentine, Dulce Et Decorum Est, Wind, Cal and A View from the Bridge) but seriously... WHAT [bleep]ING USE IS IT? When are quotes from these ever going to be useful? I've grasped a better understanding of the English language from the time I've spent online. I wish they had a way of testing your grasp of the English language that isn't handicapped by how slow you write (honestly, I had 2 hours for a Geography prelim, missed 2 questions (about 5 or 6 parts), still got an A though ^^,). Seriously, I could learn the quotes, but my problem is my writing speed, I kind of feel cheated how I can fail because I write too slowly, and seriously, I will be pissed if my French teacher is right and they do judge based on how long it looks. Yeah, I fit about 17-20 words per line, so I'll be looking at less than someone who manages 10. Guess whos will be looking longer, and guess who may infact have the longer one. Seriously, I feel that the whole system needs to be adjusted so we can actually learn more about basics of the English language. Hell, theres probably some other country who teaches it better, and its not their primary language. Hell, its not the first time a foreigner will have a better grasp on the techniques of the English language than a local.

Kiriyama Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Heh, sounds a little like me. Except I couldn't continue with Chemistry because they only had the Higher Course. Thankfully, my college course is Digital and Multimedia studies, or something close, I forgot the name. The annoying thing is, I need to pass Int 2 English for the Conditional offer for the higher leveled course, I went for the lower one and got the full offer. Though honestly, I hope to hell I can get in with Higher Maths and French, those I can study for and do. English, well it can completely blindside you and have the quetions so you really have to twist your knowledge. Geography wasn't included, even if it was, I wouldn't have revised, and had I [bleep]ed up and failed somehow, both Prelims got me A's, and I've passed all NABs with A's, so I'd have no trouble appealing. English, well I couldn't appeal, infact, I'm probably just in, the required Prelim percentage was 40%, I got 39%. Same goes for Maths really, but that can be studied.

IGoddessI Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 You should have asked this question before you went under their lease (lesson for next time at your own expense). Don't just assume you're going on a 9 month contract, ask them and put it in writing "When the 9 months is up can I move out or will I need to give notice?" also read your contract, when they ask you to read and sign you need to actually read and sign. If there is fine print tell them you will need to come back and sign at a later date, take the contract with you and get it magnified. My advice is to ring the tribunal and tell them your situation - read out your contract to them if you need to. The tribunal will punish lessor accordingly if they have breached any rules. You don't need to seek legal advice just yet. Not only that, legal advice will probably just put you more out of pocket and you'll probably be better off writing it now and staying the extra month. Within saying that I'm not sure where you live and what you're entitled to in the legal sense. Here in Australia you can ring the law firm, tell them your situation and you are allowed 1 free piece of advice before they charge you. An annoying lesson and an expensive lesson but a life lesson nonetheless. Learn by your mistake and come out wiser. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

Stephen9o3 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I have a 12-month lease on a 4 bdrm flat. Even though the lease technically is only 12 months long, we must give 3 months notice that we are not renewing, otherwise it will automatically renew. It's in place so the landlord has ample time to find new tenants. Combat FTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das1330 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Read the contract you signed. As a rule (in the US anyway) it must be explicitly stated in the contract the terms under which the contract expires / you can get out of it. If the lease is for a specific term (9 months, in your case) the contract usually automatically expires. If they are demanding that you sign a new contract (IE not the original one) if it is in any way different from your original one you must explicitly agree to the new terms, or it is considered to be void.

depresins Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 There is more than likely a section in the contract that states that you either have to give specific notice or that it will continue until notified. It's pretty standard in most contracts, leases, goods rentals, gym memberships, phone/internet plans, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
