I have a question about 30 day notice for moving
Hello **** ****, are you a tenant or a landlord, and in which state are you currently located? This is to ensure I provide you with the most accurate information.
I was a tenant at a assisted living place
Hello **** ****, I understand you have a question about a *-day notice for moving. Could you please tell me which state you're in? Laws can differ from state to state.

In Mississippi, certain rules apply to ending a tenancy:
- If you're a tenant, you typically need to provide a *-day written notice to your landlord before moving out.
- If you're a landlord, you generally need to provide a *-day notice to tenants before eviction.
Please consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
I did that but she and I got into it cause she accused me of not giving her a notice, which I did
It's crucial to have proof of your notice delivery. If you mailed it, a certified mail receipt is ideal. If it was in person, a witness or signed acknowledgement from the landlord can help. If you have none, it becomes a "he said, she said" situation.
But I have a witness to it
That's good! A witness can provide testimony to support your claim. It's advisable to document their account. If things escalate, consult with a local attorney. Remember, this is general advice and may not apply to your specific situation.
But this is a Assisted Living not a real apt complex but I still did give her the notice but she wouldn't accept it
In Mississippi, the law doesn't differentiate between assisted living and regular apartments when it comes to giving notice. If you have a witness, their testimony can be crucial. Legal assistance might be helpful in this situation.
But I don't understand this why did she not accept my notice
It's possible she may not have accepted your notice due to personal reasons or misunderstandings. Legally, if you've given proper notice, you've fulfilled your role. Consider seeking local legal advice for further guidance.
I think she broke the law, I have never heard of a landlord not accepting a 30 day notice
A landlord refusing to accept a *-day notice could potentially be in violation. Do you have a copy of your written notice? It might be beneficial to consult with a local attorney who specializes in tenant laws.
She did try to make me pay for the whole month when I told her I was moving plus she was trying to get money from Medicaid but they didn't pay her either. Medicaid told me not to pay her
If you've given proper notice and Medicaid advised you not to pay, you may want to seek legal counsel. They can guide you on actions to take if she continues to demand payment.
My witness even argued the point
That's very helpful. Did your witness argue the point in writing or verbally? It might be beneficial to get their account written down.
I found out from another source that she has done this to other people but they don't bother with it.
It's unfortunate you're experiencing this. If there are others who've had similar experiences, their testimonies may be useful. Have you considered seeking assistance from a local tenant's rights organization or attorney?
Verbally, yes, but haven't found the right one
