We have been on a lease for 2 years (2008-2010), and after it ran out, we just continued to pay month to month for about 16 months. Paid rent on the 1st of every month.
We had to move out on January 15th, 2012. Gave LL written and oral notice on December 14th, 2011 and were out of the apartment by January 15th, 2012.
Now the landlord is claiming that rent was due for entire month of January and he kept our security deposit to cover that. Is that legal? My roommate filed a complaint/case with attorney general, do we have a case?
