Re: envicted but still paying?

Generally on a residential lease a landlord may not collect "double rent" for a home. They may collect rent until the new move in and may collect for cleaning, painting and other costs they must incur from the early termination of a lease. Some additional information may be found in the "Newsletter" section of my website, www.SevickLaw.com.
