Extension of 10 Days After the 30 Days Moving Out Notice

[hlee]

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California

Hello,

My roommate and I gave the 30 days notice on June 1st. Due to my job situation, I had to extend my stay for another 10 days. With an agreement with a landlord, I gave him a written notice of extending my stay until July 10th (10 more days to stay from the 30 days notice). He told me the amount of rent for 10 days I should pay. And I did on the 1st of July.

I received a closing statement that he charged me the rent of whole month, July. He stated that he charged from 11th to 25th of July. According to the law, extending the stay after 30 day notice requires tenant to pay the whole month rent. This has not mentioned when he received the extension of my stay for 10 days or the check that has the amount of 10 days stay that was decided by the landlord.

Can you please advise me?

Thank you.

If you failed to move within the 30 days you gave the landlord, your notice is no longer valid. Under CA law....you owe until the 25th.

Thanks for your reply, Lill. Appreciate it.

There was an agreement with the landlord and I gave him my written notice of extending my stay for 10 more days. I gave him the amount for the 10 days that he asked me to pay.

Am I still required to pay the rent until the 25th? Is the written notice of 10 more stay useless?

Yes and yes.

As Lilli notes, under the law, you owe til the 25th.
