I am leaving my apartment at the end of July. I already provided my 30 days notice. We had discussed with our landlord that we knew someone interested in taking the place over after we left.
The prospective new tenant was told to provide a notarized letter from my roommate and I saying we renounce our rights to the apartment. Is this standard practice? Didn't we already do that though by providing the 30 days notice?
The only thing I am worried about is the security deposit I paid when I signed my original lease. If I "renounced my rights to the apartment" am I still entitled to get it back?
