Question
I rented an office a few months ago, and we did not specify in the contract how much notice is required for termination. Now I want to leave the office, and I wish to leave by the 3rd month [tomorrow]. Is this possible, or do I need to give advance notice? Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom Rav
If not stated otherwise, you cannot leave a lease without a month's notice or the landlord's consent.
And although it is not written in your contract, since the simple custom requires a month's notice, it is considered as if it were written as a condition.
