Case Study:- Two years ago, Landlord and Tenant entered into an oral five-year residential lease of a one-bedroom, furnished apartment for $1,000 per month, payable on the first day of each month. Tenant took possession of the property and paid the rent at the beginning of each month. Three weeks ago, on October 5, 2021, Tenant called Landlord and gave two weeks' notice of lease termination and said that she planned to move out of state permanently.
Two weeks ago, on October 19, 2021, Tenant vacated the apartment. Before doing so, she left a check for $1,000 on the kitchen table along with a note. The note stated, "This is the final rent I owe you for November 2021. That makes us all square. God bless."
