Housing Laws

If I end my lease, do I still have to pay rent?

If you follow the requirements of this law, you only need to pay rent through the day you move out or the day you give notice that you will be ending the lease, whichever is later. The landlord can hold your security deposit through the last day that all tenants under your lease have left. Then the deposit must be returned to you within 30 days, unless the landlord can keep some or all of it according to the law.1 This means that the landlord may be able to keep the deposit if there are valid reasons to do so, but s/he cannot keep it just because you ended the lease early under this law.
