Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey
I had given a notice in February to vacate my house by the end of March. However, I told the landlord (within a few days after giving the notice) that I have changed my mind and I won't be vacating. Since then, I have been paying the rent regularly. However, for some reason, the landlord wants me to vacate the house. He sent me a notice stating that I haven't vacated the house after giving the earlier notice. So, he is asking me to vacate the house by the end of this month (less than 30 day notice) or else he is threatening to sue me and charge me for attorney expenses and he wouldn't refund the security deposit.

Did you give writen notice. If you did you might be bound by the notice. alandlord has a right to rely on written notice to vactate. If only given orally it might not be binding.
