Q: Dad, if I’m about to move from where I rent, is there anything I have to do regarding my lease?
A: If you didn’t when you signed it, read it. Or read it again. You might also call the landlord and ask what the policy is. Some require more than one month’s notice and missing the deadline can mean paying an extra month or two worth of rent. Don’t wait to find out the important deadlines.
