Kevin Mahlan: ...
I was told that my rent was being raised. I told them I could not afford this and would be moving out. They did not give me notice in writting. I wrote to them on May 6th about moving out at the end of the month and they told me I was responsible for everything until June 30th. Am I responsible till June 30th or just May 30th due to them not giving me anything about the rent raise in writting? This was in the contract I signed but it also said I had to give 30 days notice.
