Re: rental agreements
Once a written lease has expired or terminated you are considered a hold over tenant. Generally, the two parters agree to a month-to-month oral lease if the tenant stays in the lease property. However, the two parties can agree on a week-to-week or to a day-to-day or whatever other arrangements the parties agree to.
As for the deposit the landlord has a prescribed amount of time in which he is require to give you the deposit back or a portion of the deposit back with an accounting of the deposit retained or no depost back with an accounting of the deposit retained.
Good luck!
