You didn't say where you live but generally yes you can the ddeposit is just to cover damages that may have happened while you lived there it is not to be use for any unpaid rent they have to go to court for that and you still have to give 30 day notice on a month to month.
You still have to give a full rental period notice (not just 30 days) You get your security deposit back after vacating. Most states mandate 30 days.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
