Q) I have a family who served me a notice to move with less than the required time by approximately seven days. Can I withhold any part of the security deposit for not giving the required 30-day notice? Thirty days advanced notice is required in the rental agreement.
A) A tenant terminating his month-to-month tenancy must serve a 30-day written notice. For the record, emails do not constitute a proper notice. The tenant is therefore liable for the rent for the full 30-day period. As such, you may deduct the additional rent from the security deposit.
