Sherri Cokain Weise when I do training, I always tell people they have to figure out what works for them. And that is long as they are in compliance with the law they will be fine.

Janie Nash Burnett, agreed! A difference of opinions doesn't make anyone wrong. It just makes us different. Too bad society in general is not okay with that.

Every landlord must figure out what is right for them.

Ok... the landlord is entitled to the full month plus prorated according to the statute. I understand the properties are a "business." I'm, of course, biased due to being the spouse of a service member and having experienced 3 years of deployments. I'm blessed to have a group of outstanding managers who can get that unit turned and new resident moved in within a few days of a move out. This benefits the soldier if they really do need to move in 30 days and those extra days don't come ot of their security deposit. No argument on the statute, just trying to create win/win solutions to do what we believe to be the right thing to do.

The statue entitles the landlord to 30 days from the "next rent due date".....so if someone gets orders on April 20th.....the next rent due date is May 1 so they can be released May 30. Spouses are also released, but not roommates.

I think they write this stuff confusing on purpose

Review the statute. I'm sure it is a 30-day notice by the 1st of the month.
