Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Minnesota
end of lease (moving out) rights
I'm moving out. I'm on a month-to-month basis. The rental terms say I have to be out by noon of the last day of the month. Aren't I entitled to stay in my apartment until midnight of that last day because I have paid rent for the ENTIRE month? Is there anything (i.e. a law) to support this that I can use to help me keep those 12 hours? (If so, how can so many apartment complexes get away with having this same ''get out by noon'' stipulation?)

If you wanted to move out at Midnight, you had the right to ask for a modification of the lease, but since you agreed to the term, it controls.
