But, now that I think about, I don't want to give her my new number and have her know that I've moved. So, I need to keep those active till the end of the month. That's a lot of extra money.

Hey, just because you've gotten a new number doesn't mean that you've moved. Plenty of people have two leases at once while moving. Just say "i have a new number"

It doesn't matter that you've moved. Its your apartment so long as you're paying for it and she can't go in and do non-emergency stuff without your permission.

Alternately, give her your cell.

Nice theory, but isn't this the landlord that doesn't know what 24-hour notice means?

Yeah.... sadly, I suspect that they already know or will soon know that the apartment will be/is empty, and not give a price break because they don't have to, and will go on in and do all the work anyway. Short of hanging out there until the bitter end, they are likely going to get their rent and eat it too.

Because they fucking suck.

If you can, check to see if/when they do that, then ask for prorated rent from that day.

Has it been a half hour yet?

I wish. But she made it very clear that that won't be happening. Oh, well. At least I had the guts to ask, right?

Gud, Leif hasn't hit the road to teach seminars, has he? He isn't some sort of pre-school Tony Robbins, right?

If you would like, vw, Orlando Bloom and I will have sex on the floor of your then-former apartment for fifteen straight days in order to give her the shock of her life if she shows up without requisite notice.

That's just the kind of friend I am.

Don't need to send any boxes. All she has to do after emptying them out at the new apartment, is bring the empty ones back to the old place, take some box tape to them and then stack them up around the room.

Then when lady landlord thinks they have been left behind and goes to move them, they will all be empty.

Or if she calls, you can say "Oh! could you toss them out? We were using them to set things on while we were moving. Ta!"

vw, if it were me, I'd stay to the end of the month since you're paying. But I'd also disconnect the phone early (I don't know if this would be a savings or not) and tell them that the 24 hour notice must now be in the form of a note left on your door.
