What is your understanding of this lease agreement?

This is the lease agreement. It is my understanding it is month by month, but the office assistant states it is a six month lease. Who is right?

"Terms of Agreement"
The initial term of this lease shall begin on 2-21-07 and end on 3-21-07. After the initial term ends, this agreement will continue for successive terms of one month each, subject to the same Terms and Conditions of the Agreement, unless either party provides the other party with a written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the month. Such notice of termination shall be effective on the last day of the month."

I think I'm right. Just don't want anymore credit issues.

TIA

This lease went month to month on 3/21/07 and it is clearly written here. Whoever is telling you it is a 6 month lease is dead wrong.

It does say you must provide written notice 30 days prior to the end of the month. So if you give notice today or tomorrow (May 30 or 31) you can legally leave the last day of June.

Chances are these f-ers are going to try to keep your security deposit, so be aware of that. Those can be hard to get back, especially if you're landlord is a jerk (and apparently yours is).

But according to what you posted above, you are legally able to leave with 30 days written notice. I would send this written notice registered mail with a return receipt required, and keep a copy of the letter and the return receipt for your records.

The way it reads you are right. Its month to month.

You are correct. The office assistant needs to take reading comprehension. It very clearly states "one month each."

Month to month to me!

If the lease is entirely printed here it is a month to month lease but this seems to be a very short lease...make sure you have read the entire lease and that there is not a provision that requires a minimum rental period of 6 months which is possible.

My guess is the office assistant meant to write 8-21-07, and not 3-21-07.

But you are correct. With the way the lease is written, it is a month to month agreement.

From what you wrote it sounds like month to month. Take your copy to the office and show her, it may just be a misunderstanding.

Yeah, I think your right too! the way it is written says it all!

No question about it !! Month to month !!

month to month, stick to your guns...tell the office assistant to learn to read.
