What if the Owner Gives Us a 2 Month-Notice Period and we Vacate Before that? Can he Charge Rent for the Full 2 Months or are we Allowed to Vacate Anytime Between the 2 Months Time?

When a landlord provides a 2-month notice period for eviction, tenants often wonder about their rights and responsibilities. Let’s break it down:

1. Notice Period: If the landlord gives you a 2-month notice to vacate, the notice period starts from the date you receive the notice. During this time, you have the option to vacate the premises.

2. Vacating Early: You are allowed to vacate anytime within the 2-month notice period. If you choose to leave before the full 2 months, the landlord cannot charge you rent for the entire notice period. You only need to pay rent up to the date of your actual departure.

3. Rent Calculation: Calculate the rent based on the actual days you occupy the property during the notice period. For example, if you vacate after 1 month, you’ll owe rent for that month only.
