How much notice must a renter give when leaving the premises?
I have a saloon in which I sub lease stations to hair stylest. I have had a stylest renting a station from me for the last 2 years. The renter has never signed a rental agreement and just informed that she’ll be leaving the location in 4 days. Do I have any legal right to ask for next month’s rent?

Under the laws of all states in this country it is presumed that the oral commercial lease between you and your tenant is a month-to-month lease. As such, your tenant was required to give you a written thirty (30) day notice of her intent to terminate her lease with you.
As such, the tenant is responsible to you for an additional thirty (30) days of rent from the date she advised you that she was ending her oral lease with you.
