For context: we live in Ohio and for the past year, my boyfriend and I have been under a lease with Landlord A. Recently, he sold the building. Our lease with him is up and we were asked to sign the new one for Landlord B. We're moving somewhere else because the new landlord is charging us way too much for this awful apartment, so we never signed the lease. Technically, we've been living here about a month without any contract of any kind. We haven't even paid this month's rent yet. Landlord B knows we're moving soon and has asked us to pay rent anyway despite never entering into an agreement with her. We will be moving within two weeks or less.
My question is: without a lease in place with either Landlord A or Landlord B, are we legally required to pay rent for this past month?
