He needs to be given enough time to fill the apartment before you leave, otherwise that's money down the drain for him. |

So he can arrange to get someone else in.
You would expect ontice if he asked you to leave? - same difference.
The deposit is something different.
If you don't want to give him notice, ask him how much rent he wants up front instead (say 2 weeks, maybe 3?) |

It's the law. the landlord has the right to have notice so they can have another tenant ready to move in so they don't lose rent money |

Pretty much so he can get someone in there by the time you are out and he loses no money. |

So they can find a new tenant, this is income to your landlord. Wouldn't you want to get someone else to pay you as soon as you could? |

So they can get your money back for the security deposit. |

Because they have to advertise the flat for rent so they don't lose money on an empty place. They have bills to pay, too. |

Because your lease agreement says so. |

Hi!
I assume because it gives him time to arrange for a new tenant.
He may have a mortage to pay on the property and so would require a payment from you in the last month also. However, there's no stopping you leaving tomorrow having paid him up till the end of the notice period.
Also, isn't it up to him whether or not you get your deposit back?
In addition, this would also work in reverse - I assume you wouldn't be pleased if he told you to get out tomorrow without giving you any notice, would you?
Hope this helps!
Best of luck! |

So he will be able to, and have time to arrange for someone else to rent the room you're leaving.
Some people need the money, and need someone living and paying for it.
Cheers :) |

because thats the law, you need to give 4weeks notice, but he has the right to keep your depost for damage your might of done and cleaning !! So dont think you'll get it all back !! |

Make sure you check your contract that you signed with your landlord. I have to give a 60 day notice (which is bull). If you break the contract you could still be responsible for paying the last months rent.
Your landlord makes his money with your rent. So if he has no one occupying it, he could be losing money.
If there is nothing written in your lease about notice, make sure you leave at the end of the month from the time you started your lease and you should be fine, by law to leave. |

coz you agreed to give him 4 weeks notice when you signed up for the place.
stop being a wimp you agreed it now live up to it, if everyone just did what they liked you would be the first to moan |

well where we live 30 days gives them time to find another tennant so they are not without rent for the house/apartment.
you can give 30 days and move out as soon as you want to. just let the managers know you are leaving early and i doubt they will have a problem with it. it's only a formal thing. we left our place in 2 weeks. we gave 30 days too. turned our keys in after doing a deep clean to get our deposit back. had no problems. it takes about 2-3 weeks to process the deposit those are not instant give backs. all depends on the property managers and their rules....
i hope this helps. best wishes!! :) |

Here's the best reason of all. Your landloed just won't give you back your security deposit for 4 weeks!!! |
|

Its all about money. They want to advertise the opening for those 4 weeks so the spot will be immediately filled when you leave. Hence there is never a period of time when no one lives there and...they get money. |
|

They need to find someone else to live there. The deposit is in case there is any damage or outstanding bills to be paid. You leaving tomorrow wouldn't give the landlords this leverage. |
|

It's probably in your tenancy agreement that you have to give notice, so if you scarpered now you wouldn't get your deposit back.
This is simply so the landlord has time to find a new tennant, which is only fair. |
|
xoxo you know you love me ....gg
 |
he needs time to fix up or make any changes to the place that he feels he needs and he might need to get you your money too.....and he needs to find other ppl too move in when you move out <3 |

For many reasons.
1. To know there is going to be a vacancy so that he or she can start getting someone else to rent the properity. The quicker one moves in after one moves out is money not lost to the landlord.
2. To get a security deposit back from the bank, if you are entittled to get one.
3. To get a cleaning crew in there to clean the carpets, and anything else, that you fail to clean, or fail to clean throughally so that the next people can move in.
4. Because it is in your contract, and failure to do so, can result in fines, or lack of getting any of your deposits back.
There are probably more, but those are the main ones I can think of. |

They need time to advertise that there will be an apartment available for rent. Plus landlords won't give you your security deposit back until after you've gotten all your stuff out so they can make sure there is no damage to the apartment. |
|
My thumb is bigger than yours
|
They do that so they have time to advertise the apartment and fill it with another tenant. If it sits empty while they're looking for someone they are losing money. |

It gives him time to find someone else to move in when you move out.
Also he should have invested your deposit. He needs time to withdraw it. |

It's just a contractual policy. It makes sense. If you were a landlord wouldn't you want to know ahead of time so you have enough time to get new tenants so you don't lose money? Plus it teaches you responsibility, same as giving 2 weeks notice at your job. |
|

To give them a chance to rent it to someone else...and not leave it empty. |
|

so he can be prepared to cover the cost of it being vacant and make repairs and get new renters! fyi..most of the time you will not get your deposit back! |

It's so they have some time to find someone else to take your place. Otherwise they are losing money for all the time the apt. goes unoccupied. |
|

It's like how you're supposed to give 2 weeks notice when you leave a job.
Giving your landlord notice allows him to find another tenet and to fix up or upgrade the place if need be, and hopefully not lose too much money for the time it's not occupied. |
|

Because you probably signed the lease which states that as a term.
Check out your lease... if that is in it... you signed it so you've got to honor it. If it's not in it... call him out on it... but it would be polite nonetheless to give him some notice for the reasons stated above.

I love Francisco.

So he can arrange someone to live there so he wont loose any months without know one |

Assuming you have a lease it is a contractual obligation between both of you and it usually states a period of time, which is negotiable, that you must give before moving out. This gives your landlord time to start preparing for the next tenant. Landlord's do this to minimize the time they are without a tenant. |
