OFFERS RENTAL ADVICE FOR
STUDENTS WHO ARE MOVING
By John Davidson
for the Emerald
As summer nears, many of you will
be leaving your current rentals
and/or moving to new ones. These
tips will help you to protect your
legal and financial interests during the
transition.
Always make written documentation
of every significant occurrence between
you and your landlord. (And always
keep copies of all landlord-tenant doc
uments!)
Ending a tenancy
1) Giving notice. If you have a term
lease set to expire, then you probably
don’t need to worry about providing
notice, But if you’re on a month-to
month, you’ll need to give 30-days no
tice. The notice should be written, and
you should keep a copy of it.
The notice should state the exact ter
mination date, which should be no less
than 30 days from the day the notice is
provided. The notice should use the
word “termination.” Termination is dif
ferent than moving out. Someone who
moves out still owes rent. Someone
who’s terminated doesn’t.
If the notice is mailed rather than
hand delivered, then the relevant peri
od needs to be at least 33 days, and the
notice needs to mention that the extra
three days were added and explain
why.
Your notice should also include a for
warding address where the landlord
can send your security deposit. It
should indicate a date and time at
which you would like to conduct a
joint move-out inspection.
Ideally, hand deliver the notice
and have the landlord or manager
sign your copy acknowledging the
day on which it was received and
agreeing to the proposed termination
date.
2) Cleaning. You should make some
effort to clean the premises prior to va
cating. If the rental agreement makes
you responsible for the grounds, then
you should also make some effort to
mow the grass. After you’ve made these
efforts, you should take pictures. This is
very important. When a landlord as
serts cleaning and repair charges of
$1,000 and says you trashed the place,
a picture can be worth its weight in
gold.
Even if the landlord isn’t holding a
large security deposit, you should
