I have no lease, just a verbal 'month-to-month' agreement that has worked fine for the past 1 1/2 years. My landlord also insists i pay in cash, but i have handwritten receipts for all of that. I have paid 2 months security deposit ($1700) that i want to be sure i get back, less reasonable deductions. I want to know first, what sort of notice do i need to provide (none? 1 month?) and second, what can i do to protect myself from getting screwed out of my deposit? I just get the feeling that he is going to be shady about it. Thanks.
