Re: rent after lease expires
Assuming that your current tenancy is truly a month-to-month tenancy at will (which it sounds to be), then you are only required to provide at least 30 days of notice.
Once you have provided appropriate notice of your intention to terminate the tenancy, and your tenancy has in fact terminated, you are not longer responsible for further rent.
You are, however, responsible for paying rent for any months during which you lived in the apartment.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.
