[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My parent died mid June, and had paid for June. But while we can empty everything by the end of June, we will have to pay rent through mid July. So an additional half month of rent, while the apartment is vacant. And they can’t work on the apartment while we’re paying rent. So then they’ll have two weeks to get it ready, and maybe they can get a new renter by August. But we’ll be using it through mid July, because hey, we’re paying for it.[/quote]

You have not moved everything out.  That’s the issue. [/quote]

Nope. I told them that we could have everything out by the end of June, and they said we will still owe rent through mid July.[/quote]

You need to give 30 days notice, that’s standard.  As soon as you vacate the apartment they can work to re-rent it.  If they’re able too you’re off the hook.  My moms place had her apartment rented within a few days even though we were on the hook.  As soon as they rented it out again our responsibility stopped.  So yes, you’re financially responsible for it for a month but you won’t necessarily need to pay the whole extra month if they can rent it out sooner.

Get the stuff out asap and see if they can get it rented.  For all you know they could have had it rented by now and you’d have gotten a refund instead of owing though mid-July.[/quote]

It is not always true that if they are able to re-rent it OP is off the hook.  Depends on state law and the lease.   [/quote]
