We just opened up escrow, should I give my landlord notice?

Opened just today. Everything has been ready to go because we got a verbal ok a few weeks ago, we just were waiting for written. Inspections and bank appraisal done. We are supposed to close within 14 days because my husband is going on deployment a month from today. Is it safe for me to give my landlord notice? I just don't want to end up paying a mortgage and the other half of my rent.

If worse comes to worse, I can move to my parents house. We did a VA loan, everything is approved no problems at all, my agent is also doing our loan...just need some ideas. Thanks!

    Depends if you are on a lease, what you owe.

    Month to month is a 30 day notice in most states.

    If you are breaking a lease, good-luck.

    A smart person would have let there landlord know months ago.

    That way it is no shock and they might have worked with you with a heads up.

    Now you walk in and say surprise!

    If you are on a month to month lease, if you give notice on Wed, 9/17, you will STILL owe for full month of October.

    "If worse comes to worse, I can move to my parents house."

    With such a safety net I say notify. Without it, I say don't, even if you may double-pay for a month.
