lease expiring - LL still wants 2 months rent

[dbeayon]

Have friend who:

Has a month -to month lease aggreement that expires 11/30/2006
States two month advance notification of leaving
Friend notified LL 10/1/2006 that they would not be renewing the lease
LL demanding January/February 2007 rent because the word vacate was not used in the emailed non-renewal notice.

all previous corespondence was thru email - including statement from LL that emails were considered legal correspondence.

who is right? Can the LL request the additional 2 months rent?

[Anna]

If not regulated housing, LL can request almost anything when offering Ts new rental agreement. Ts can then negotiate.

Msg is unclear: read up on MTM in Reference.

If the message is unclear, let's me try to clarify things:
no new rental agreement presented by LL
Housing is not regulated
location is albany county

If the lease expires on 11/30 and tenant as given notice that they do not wish to renew lease, is the tenant obligated to sign a new lease if they are going to leave the premises on 11/30?

How can a lease be MTM?

[Anna]

If lease ends on 11/30 and Ts plan to move out on 11/30, WHY is anyone asking about RENT for 2007 ????

Are you trying to say LL claims expiring lease has an automatic renewal clause? or a 60-day notice of non-renewal clause?
