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.

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?
Send a letter that says "I had understood that you were not prorating the rent, but as you painted and cleaned the apartment before the end of the month, you obviously changed your mind"
either that, or go in and mess up the paint and take a long bath with a Lush bomb that wil dirty the tub.

There was a CSI rerun on a while back where this guy, who had some sort of chronic nosebleed condition, spent the entire last month in his apartment horking blood all over the walls just to fuck with the landlord.
Not that I'm suggesting that. Really.

vw, you don't have any friends that need a place to stay for a couple of weeks, do you? Or, perhaps a friend who might like to get away from his or her roommate for a bit? There have been times when I would have gladly paid to cover phone and internet to have a place by myself for a while.
The problem with messing the place up is that then they are justified in not returning your deposit. You want the place occupied, but not damaged or dirty. Although, if you think they might stiff you on the deposit, it seems like dirty and damaged could be quite satisfying.
Also, I like the note idea. Paying extra just seems not worth it.

Gloomcookie! Send me an e-mail if you can join us for lunch noonish this Sunday! I want to see your fucking awesome hair in person!
Aw. I'm out of town this weekend. I almost took another shot of my new hair this morning cause it was looking pretty fly, then I forgot. Suffice it to say, I think it's still pretty cool.

don't need to destroy it, just regular wear and tear. Like put a couple of nail holes in the wall. perhaps a little scuff mark or two.

You know, you could mention to the landlords that since you're going to be paying for the extra two weeks you've offered the place to the local mission or homeless shelter for overflow for that time... but to still talk to you to schedule the 24 hr. notice.

Yay for the feline returnage.
Making coffee at home is HARD. Evden when you make the coffee okay, there's still the possibility of that awful moment when you realize you have no cream or milk substance in the house.This is my recurring nightmare. And my morning today as well.
vw, I growl at your landlord. When I left San Diego, I waited to tell my landlord that I was out until the day I stopped paying rent. Then explained that I would mail her the key because I had already moved. But then she never tried to go in without permission either, so that's apples and tomatoes.
