Not sure if you still have a copy of the initial lease contract from 6 years ago, but if you do, I'd definitely look at it. As others have suggested, there may be other local laws that apply, but there may also be something in the contract about how month-to-month is handled. My current lease says *either party* can give 60 days written notice. This would mean I have to give 60 day notice if I move out, but it also means they have to give me 60 days if they decided to terminate my lease (for a condo conversion for example). Even after the lease moves to month-to-month this lease remains in effect.
You may have something similar in your lease. I'd check it out. Could buy you an extra month to decide about moving. -Cameron On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 8:00 PM, Greg Morphis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My wife and I have been living in these apartments for almost 6 years. > I received a letter saying > that due to property insurance and other reasons I have 2 options: > Sign a 6 month lease for X dollars or sign a 12 month lease for X dollars.. > We've been paying month to month for 5 years (I had originally signed > a 12 month lease). > Can they force us into a new lease?
