Full question:
I signed a 1 year lease with a landlord from December 2006-December 2007. I no longer was on a lease; it was month to month. I did not sign another lease agreement. I moved out of the house January 1, 2008. Am I responsible for paying that months rent? I signed an agreement lease at another home proving I didn't live there.

Answer:
In Mississippi, month-to-month tenants must provide 30 days' notice to terminate their tenancy legally. If you didn't give proper notice, you might be liable for January's rent unless you can show that the landlord waived the notice requirement.
