Anyone in Chicago? Hoping to get some legal advice about rent. I'm in an informal setup with a landlord who rents out a room to me without credit checks, written and signed contract, or deposits. So it's just monthly payments. I've been renting for more than a year now and need to move out in July (1yr and 7mos then) due to work commitments out of state that I have put on hold due to the pandemic. The landlord insists that since I didn't notify her 2 to 3 months before my rent anniversary I shou

If there's no lease, they really don't have a leg to stand on...

The landlord insists that since I didn't notify her 2 to 3 months before my rent anniversary I should pay until October even if I'm already out by July. I've always had in mind his reminder to advice him 2 to 3 months before change of plans but he said what he really meant was 2 to 3 months before rent anniversary. That's why he said he will require me to pay until October. I didn't really mean to surprise the landlord like this but figured that it was an informal contract and I've honored a year and still gave 2 to 3 months notice so I figured it wasn't a yearly commitment. I'd very much need the money when I move with prices rising and paying for my rent. What's the best to do here?

Could you try finding another tenant?

Why on earth should they find another tenant for the landlord. Not their responsibility. If you're in a month to month lease you're not obligated to stay
