The Glade 4.0

Regardless of legality he didn't give me enough notice to decide if I wanted to stay or leave, and he was trying to just leave without that which is kinda crappy too, and illegal. They have laws for this stuff for a reason, my original reason is still valid for why he has to pay, I've been looking more to make sure I have all the information I need to win the case in small claims court and found out even more, the fact is i'm in the right here and he was in the wrong, if he had given me any sort of notice ahead of time, even a week so I could have decided what to do then that would be a different story.

So even when I thought that the 31st was still in time for me to give my notice too (which it wasn't) a 10 hour notice isn't near enough time to give someone to figure out something major like moving or the feasibility of finding a new roommate, and that's all I got.

Well it sounded like he was more questioning the morality of me going after him, either way after talking to the landlord today it's pretty cut and dry, the tenancy-at-will agreement states 30 days notice in writing, MA state law (and federal law I believe) states one rental period or 30 day notice is required, whichever is great (in the case of Feb it's 30 days that takes precedence), it's now the Feb 7th, the landlord said she has still not revived a written notice from him and will back me on that, she talked to him about that today and told him she hadn't received it, if he hand delivered it today it's only 22 days notice at that point meaning the tenancy-at-will agreement stands until at least the end of March, which she also told him.
