Look at your lease. When it the rental term from? If the rental term is from the 1st of the month then you owe from the first of the month. Possession, according to the law, relies on when the lease term is and when you took the keys. If you have the keys on the 1st of the month and the lease says you can move in on the first of the month, then you owe since the first of the month even if you decided not to move in until later.
Look at it another way. You go and rent a car for a week. After you get home you get sick until Wednesday and the car sits in front of your house unused. You then drive the car Thursday, Friday and return it on Saturday. You still owe the car rental company for the entire week. It doesn't matter to them if you used it or not. The fulfilled their end of the contract by providing the car to you when they said they would. you took possession of the car by accepting the keys.
The same thing applies in this situation. |

Nothing, you rented it. Its not her fault you didn't move in until now. Was she supposed to find a tenant for the 2 weeks you didn't actually move in? Thats not reasonable. If you weren't ready to move in until Sep 15, you shouldn't have rented it until Sep. 15. |

if you followed the terms of your leasing contracts and gave her advance notice, then your rent for September should be pro-rata and she should only charge you for the 15 days to September 15th.
If you did not give your landlady appropriate notice, then legally she has the right to charge you a full month's rent. The purpose of giving notices is to give landlords/landladies a chance to find a new tenant so that they don't lose money on a property being left vacant.
So, be reasonable to your landlady, you would want the same if you had a tenant, wouldn't you? |

do u have a lease? are u storing items there? whatever the date your lease starts you owe money for all of the months wheter ur resideing there or not, u should have started ur lease on the day you were moving in and u would not have this problem. |
|
just ask'n
 |
Rai, you contracted to live there and pay rent. I don't care if you've been on holiday around the frickin world, you owe her a full months rent. |

The property is reserved for you, so you owe the rent. If you signed a lease for that time period, then you have to pay it whether you lived there or not.
Look at it from the other side. Why should she not get rent for a month just because you decide not to move in right away? |

You should pay rent because you've signed a lease to live there. Even though you've only lived there for a couple of days, you've legally rented this place. It's not the landlord's responsibility to determine when you move in. By signing the lease, you're reserving the space. Otherwise, the landlord could of rented this place to someone else. Why would the landlord rent the space to you if you don't plan to move in until later? |

If you already signed a contract or something to live there, then you should definitley pay. Because even though you didn't live there for only like 4 days you still agreed to pay that months rent. Because she could have got somebody else to rent out her house. Your land lady is definitley in the right. |

The landlord had signed the lease with you with the agreement that the property was yours to use during that time (assuming).When you sign a lease you are responsible for the time the lease covers, not just the time you are actually living there. You could have stored items in it, you could have let someone else stay there.You had the right and opportunity to use the unit, you chose not to.
Rent starts from the time you had the right to do something.
The only way you would have off would be if for some reason the home wasn't ready for you, like the house was renovated or painted or something. barring that, you are legally and morally responsible for the rent. |

Your stuff was there and she lost the ability to profit from her property. It's a business thing and not personal at all! She is just trying to get the most out of her investment! Someday you will too. |

Your Property Path

its simple. The lease is your clear agreement with the owner. You pay rent on the start date of your lease period.
The only exception might be if the owner did not provide you with keys and you had no legit access. |

You owe her this rent because you are tying up her property that she could have rented out to someone else- she has no control over how many days you actually chose to stay there. So, if you rented the property in August, and plan to move in full-time in September, of course you owe her for both of those months, and since it is already September, before you know it - October rent will be due!! |

Your lease probably spells it all out - it almost sounds though like you are moving into the property vs. moving out of the property - and in that case, you really shouldn't be responsible for the entire month of August, unless she told you that beforehand. I would talk to your landlord and try to get it straightened out BEFORE you move in. If she is going to be difficult before you ever move in, then just think how she is going to be once you are there and "locked in". |
