If You Give Your 30 Day But Move Out In 3 Days Do You Still Have To Pay Full Rent?

If you give a 30 day then move out in 3 do you still have to pay a full months rent or partial?

The use of "give your 30 day" in your post sounds like US English to me. (This website is UK-based and many of our laws are vastly different to those in the US. So this probably isn't the best site to post questions about law on if you're on that side of the Atlantic).

Further, the standard notice period to end a periodic tenancy in the UK in 28 days, whereas it's 30 days in the USA. So that once again makes me suspect that you might be posting from the USA.

However, in both countries the standard principles of contract law apply, meaning that you need to keep paying the full rent until your notice to end the tenancy expires, irrespective of whether or not you actually remain in the property until that time or not.

That's confirmed for tenants in the UK here

and for those in the USA here

Yes in both systems

I give personally a 27/30 rebate because they gonna move - pther wise in UK it means a court case.....
but even some judges have sid - blimey gorr blimey

( but makes ecconomic sense to a landlord if you er think about it)

In either case they have a contractual right to the full lu-lu.

Good to see you back PP, was worried about you.

Hi Sqad
no still alive
Did Luxor ( 30'C) ( I was a tropical GP 1978 incredz) and felt very decrepit. So I fear it is the Last Time. Many thanks for your kind thoughts. Dendara for the first time in 40y. very emotional - temple has been there for longer, around 2000y. A bit like a final list or final ward round

Hallo PP - missed you

[jno]

yes (assuming that's what your contract says), but on the plus side you can still go there any time in that 30 days, you're still the tenant. If you find your landlord's moved someone else in early, you could demand a proportion of your money back.

I know the feeling, PP, starting to wonder if I'll ever get to see the far side of the North Circular again, let alone temples to Hathor.

o god forgot about that, yes absolutely right. judges not keen on double-charging.

Welcome back I was getting worried missing all your foo foo nonsense!

[Redhelen72]

Yes in my opinion.
You are giving 30 days notice so that your landlord can find someone else to move in, if you choose to move before the 30 days that’s up to you.
Try speaking to your landlord they maybe accommodating but they may not be.
