What are my tenant lease rights?

Question

So a few questions in this post.

Is a written 30-day notice to move the same as a 30-day notice to vacate due to a lease violation?

Is a 30-day notice to vacate the same as a Non-Lease Renewal (which is usually given 60 days before a lease is set to expire)?

If a landlord gives falsifying information to another landlord by saying that a tenant had been given a 30-day notice to vacate when the tenant had never ever been given a 30-day notice to vacate, can the tenant sue the landlord or take the landlord to court for giving out false information and jeopardizing a tenant of being able to move?

Hi Matt. Tenant lease rights are jurisdictional, so that means they are based on the law of the state that you find yourself in. For specific questions such as yours, your best resource would be an attorney in your area. Another great resource would be legal advocacy organizations in your city or state. Some organizations cover many areas of law, while others focus on housing.
