What can I do?

[Sharad M.]

I am moving out of my current place (rental) to my condo next week. The place I am staying at, my original lease was from May 2009-Apr 2010, but since I knew I was going to move into my place end of June, I signed a month to month lease through June 30, 2010.

In the month to month lease I signed, it stated that I needed to provide a written intent to move 30 days in advance. But when I signed month to month lease at the end of Apr 2010, I verbally told the building manager that I will be moving out at the end of June. I didn't sign the intent to move until today.

Now the building manager told me that I am liable till July 15, 2010 even though I won't be staying there.

Is there anything I can do or I am on the hook for the rent for 15 days?

I have tried talking to the building manager and he said there's nothing he can do. If I don't pay the rent for extra 15 days, they will send it to collection.
