    Lightbulb Do You Owe Rent After You Move Out, But Before You Remove Your Belongings

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida If the person gives you a notice on New Year's Eve. That they will be moving out in January,but don't come to move their stuff out until the 7th of January. Do they still have to pay the full rent or just the days their stuff was still there?

    By "notice on New Year's Eve", should we infer that you mean full and proper notice that you'll be moving out on Dec. 31? Because if you have a tenancy and say "I'm moving out today," odds are you're going to owe at least another 30 days rent, perhaps more depending on your lease and the rest of the facts.

    If you choose to retain occupancy by failing to remove your property from the premises, quite obviously you will owe rent. How much rent? That will depend upon the full facts and the terms of the lease. It could be pro-rated; it could be the full month.

    then apply what Mr. K said to your situation.

    To start with, was this person a co-tenant (both names on a common lease), a tenant having the same landlord as you but having a separate lease, a tenant to you?

    is there any definite term lease involved or is everything month to month?

    if there is a lease involved, what are the terms regarding notice to terminate the tenancy, if there are any?
