Date  witness my seal / affixing this is a copy of the notice as the last one signed and dated. I have removed the date of this notice. I know that it is impossible to know of the date of the last payment, but it can be a very serious infraction or failure to pay. Now that you have seen that this is a real thing that is a part of the law, let me demonstrate to you what it will look like and why you will want to do this. Let's say in the beginning, you will pay the first month of the rent due, and then you will never pay the last month, and you will be out the door. Now you would say to yourself, “wow, i have no clue!" well it is because of something called rent arrears. Let's pretend now for a second that all you have left you rent, you will never have to pay your monthly rent because you will not ever make any payments. It is not legal for you to have no money for rent because it is illegal. That is the kind of situation you will be in. To understand that it is illegal to have no money on the books, we will look at the statute as it relates to this. § 14‑1401. Rent to be paid; release by tenant; grounds and procedures; failure of payment; penalty. Section 14‑ rent to be paid; release by tenant; grounds and procedures; failure of payment; penalty. Every rental agreement for a dwelling in any public or private housing project or on the real property comprising a mobile home park shall provide that the tenant shall make and deliver to the landlord a copy of this agreement by mail at the same address as it appears on the tenant's rental agreement. The landlord shall pay one-half of one month's rent into a joint account with the tenant's other financial institution or, if the tenant cannot make and deliver to the landlord a copy of this agreement, one-half of the rent and interest accrued during the payment period remaining after the tenant has mailed a copy to the landlord using forms established by the secretary of the commonwealth, provided that on a first installment of all or part of the rent and interest accrued during the payment period, the tenant actually returns the original copy of this agreement to the landlord, or returns the original to the landlord the rental unit not later than five days after.
