When should the apartment be vacated if we pay rent on the 15th and have given notice?
Full Question:
I have a roommate that is on a month to month contract with us. We pay rent on the 15th of the month. We've given him 26 days notice. (I read the laws and it said I must give 15 days on a month to month agreement) He's arguing that he can stay until the 15th of the next month. I say he needs to be out on the 14th. Paying rent on the 15th of a month carries us through to the 14th of the next month, then we pay for a new month on the 15th. Who's right? Should his last day be on the 14th or 15th of the month?

Answer:
If you need to give 15 day' notice for a lease to expire on the 15th of the month, the notice would be given the second to last day of the preceding month to have the person vacate on the 15th.
