Need help with a Landlord.?


I moved out of an apartment around the 15th of February. I wrote 2 letters to her letting know my consent to leave. My lease was up in December and I have been staying month to month at the complex and was I at no point on contract or lease with her. I payed her the 30 days rent from Feb 15th to Mar 15th. I recently got a call from her attorney saying I never gave my notice to her, and when I called her she said I still have to pay rent and my lease isn't up till I go to her office and preform a walk-thru of the empty apartment. Can she really make me come in and preform a walk-thru of the empty apartment? and can she charge me everyday till I come down to her office?

I have reviewed my lease, And I cannot find where it would say I have to do a walk-thru.

Where did you leave the Keys? once your lease ended in December it automatically becomes a month to month tenancy. Did you give her 30 days notice? Did you take pictures of how you left the place? some landlords love coming across people that dont think to take pictures this means your word against theirs. You shouldn't have anything to worry about but I hope you kept copies of the letters you sent her.

If you sent the letters via certified mail, you should be fine. If you did not send them via certified mail, your landlord can make your life pretty miserable. Either way she can drag you into small claims court, but if you have the certified mail reciept showing that you gave notice by Feb 15th then no judge will give her a judgement against you. If you don't have the reciept, then it's more of a crapshoot and you might be out a couple months rent depending on how a judge would view your case.
