I realize this might be a dumb question but any help would be appreciated.
I am leasing month-to-month. The rent is due on the first, and was paid last week (August 1).
Today (August 8th) I was given one month's notice. Does it matter that rent is paid on the first (i.e. would normally be due Sep 1)?
"A month-to-month tenancy outside New York City may be terminated by either party by giving at least one month's oral or written notice. For example, if the rent is due on the first of each month, the landlord must inform the tenant by July 31st that he wants the tenant to move out by August 31st. (Real Property Law §232-b)"
Is that just one example or is it important that they notify me before rent is due?
As a side note, they already have last month's rent which they say they will refund to me when I move out. I assume that doesn't matter but I don't know.
