Moving Out
When you want to move out of a rental unit, it is important to give appropriate notice to your landlord. In most cases it is not necessary to provide notice if you are moving out at the expiration of a lease, though you should check your rental agreement to determine what, if any, kind of formal notice must be given.

If you leave before a lease expires, the landlord has the rigth to keep the deposit of grarantee. However, the landlord and you must make an effort to re-rent the unit at a reasonable price. If this is not done, the tenant may not be liable for rent beyond a reasonable period of time.

If you stay beyond the expiration of the lease, and the landlord accepts the next month's rent, then you are assumed to be renting under a month-to-month agreement. Written notice at least 20 days before the end of the rental agreement is required to move out.
