Re: tenant/landord issue

You are entitled to receive six (6) months rent for relocation. This amount is separate from any amount you may or may not owe the Landlord as rent, and the Landlord may not off-set any amount due and owing from the fixed sum. Further, the Landlord must provide you with the six months at least five days prior to you vacating the apartment.

Your landlord owes you six months of rent to compensate you for your costs in moving to another apartment. There is a law that says that.

Call me if you like.
