re: Ending a month to month verbal rental agreement

Now it's time for the drunken lawyer show!

First off, I'm drunk and a lawyer. You're not my client. You're not paying me and not helping me pay my fricking bills, so frick you. Motherfricker.

Anyone responding should have first asked, "What does your lease say?" It controls. Not completely, there are some exceptions, but there are default rules that apply if the lease is silent.

The 10 day responders were on point, but that, they failed to recognize the above. Under reconduction the default would be 10 days notice. But you wisely posted the provision stating that the terms would apply in the case of extension of the lease, which require 30 days notice.

Plus, unless you're in a true bind, 30 days notice is much more reasonable than 10. And why not avoid shite if you can?

Also per Louisiana law, your deposit can NOT be used for rent due, rather, it can only be used for damages, an itemized listing of such must be provided to you upon demand.

Take this advice at your absolute peril.
