They could have set aside enough money for that when they still had money.
Also, you're double counting some things. First month's rent ... you would have paid rent money not to move too for the same month. And last months' rent, well you already paid it where you are, when you move out you skip paying rent for the last month. Basically whether you move or not you pay the same number of months of rent.
And you get your security deposit back when you move out and can use that to pay the next one (unless you trashed the place).
- F_J_H 17y agoI'm curious. Do you own or rent?
- xenophanes 17y agoI rent.
- natrius 17y agoOk, I think I agree. They should move ASAP, but their credit is probably horrible.
- _delirium 17y agoIn my experience you don't get back security deposits nearly soon enough to use them to pay the next security deposit, unless you have somewhere to go for a while in between. I've typically gotten the security deposit sent to me about 2-4 weeks after moving out (states vary on the legal requirements; California gives the landlord 3 weeks to return the deposit). Meanwhile, the new place often wants the deposit before moving in, when you sign the lease.
