Question

My husband and I were looking to move in April I notified our landlord by phone last week. Our lease says that we need 30 days written notice I was going to turn this in with our monthly rent. Our lease states that we need 2 months additional rent to break the leae. But in September of last year when our lease was up we had never resigned an additional lease we have been paying month to month. Is our landlord able to enforce lease conditions if there is not a current signed lease?

Answer

What does your old lease say about the lease expiring. Generally leases ether automatically renew but that would have to be in the old lease if not then the lease runs month to month. Besides you're not breaking the lease. that would only be true if lease automatically renewed.
