Tenants sent landlord a text message on April 30, 2016, that they were moving out on May 1. The court ruled for landlord. Real Property Law Section 232-b required month-to-month tenants to give landlords one month’s notice before ending their tenancy. So tenants owed landlord rent for the month of May 2016.
