Have Not Yet Signed a Lease
My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Maryland
My boyfriend and I have lived together since August of 2007. My apartment complex sent us a letter to see if we were going to renew our lease or not. I told them that we were going to renew our lease. Since then though, we have broken up and I do not want to resign the lease. Does anyone know if that paper is legally binding. Thanks.
Re: Have Not Yet Signed a Lease
When does lease expire?
When did Landlord ask you about renewel?
Have you gave Landlord any notice of your intent to move if so when?

The lease expired on August 11th, and I got a paper in the mail today saying that the lease is ready to sign. I told them 2 months ago that we were going to resign the lease.

I going to say your probably on the hook for the lease as you gave verbal notice you were renewing
Re: Have Not Yet Signed a Lease
What does the existing lease say about renewal, and notice if you do not intend to renew?
Re: Have Not Yet Signed a Lease
The existing lease states that if you do not let them know what you plan to do, the lease is renewed from month to month.
Re: Have Not Yet Signed a Lease
But you let them know you were renewing
Re: Have Not Yet Signed a Lease
What do you mean by "if you do not let them know what you plan to do"? What's the exact language?
Re: Have Not Yet Signed a Lease
The lease says
"This lease contract will automatically renew month to month unless either party gives at least 60 days written notice of termination or intent to move out..."
I am just hoping that the paper that I signed is not legally binding, and that I can change from month to month until I find a place to live.
