No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I'll try to keep this brief. Our lease ends at the end of this month, APRIL. my wife and I have not signed anything to renew any lease whatsoever. We submitted our notice on April 3rd and our last will be May 31st.

They are telling me that per our "contract" that we have to pay for the full month of JUNE as well. Even though our actual contract ends April 30th. And we are doing a month to month for May (this is what happens when you don't sign or renew the lease) So we have not signed a new contract or agreed to anything, we gave a move out notice, and they're telling us no.

I also have all documents and "receipts" to back up this claim.

Just want to say to consult a lawyer because I'm not one. Don't listen to anyone here, me included. Speak to a real lawyer lol. But here is my take:

Just leave on May 31st. What will happen is the landlord will simply steal your security deposit and claim that you didn't give enough notice. We were also on a month to month lease. You are not under a contract through June and shouldn't be obligated to pay June. This is what these pieces of shit always do. You can either get a lawyer or eat the deposit. Literally the same thing happened to us 5 years ago when we moved out of our apartment during covid to buy a house. I gave that fucking cocksucker like 2 months notice. He stole my deposit and claimed I gave him a week's notice. He also claimed we ruined the kitchen which was 100% absolutely false. We cleaned so well before leaving. I ate the deposit because i didn't want to go to small claims court when covid was at its peak. The fuck called my bluff because i threatened to get a lawyer and I said i would follow a suit. He must have banked on me not following through for that amount of money - he was right. Welcome to renting!

NAL, but always sue, and sue for more than you are owed. Court is a negotiation and judges do not take kindly to landlords trying to pull a fast one and landing in their court.

I have done this myself to a scammy corporate landlord and they settled out of court after a barrage of threatening letters, subsequent "you sued the wrong party", and "we're willing to drop what we were going to charge you if you drop this case" letters. I ended up about $400 up including court costs for filing and serving, just for ignoring letters.

Private landlords, who I've also sued, are much more naively willing to go in front of a judge. If you have any case at all, the judge is likely to eat the landlord alive- unless you are a deadbeat tenant you will walk out of court probably with 3x damages.
