I don't know anything about "abandonment" legality or what that entails, but Ecolab often operates on a subscription service like you described. They lease the machine out so the business doesn't have to pay the full cost up front, with the caveat that you have to also buy the chemicals from them so it's a package deal. Bottom line is that they're probably going to want that machine back since it is technically theirs.

A little further, but we have taken our kids to the Hyatt Regency Greenwich a few times now for this exact reason. The pool/hot tub are pretty solid, but the atrium with all the plants and fountains is like a fun jungle getaway in the colder months. They absolutely loved it. Plus the food options in the surrounding area are top notch (Jewish bakeries, Italian deli's, etc.). Surprisingly, their rates are pretty affordable as long as there isn't an event being hosted.

I'm truly sorry to hear about her health battle. I hope you can find a good place to make some memories. Good luck!

Sorry about all the terrible replies...just google "RI Tenant-Landlord Handbook" and have a quick read. Here is the section that pertains to you. If you pay rent on a monthly basis (like most) then you are on a "month-to-month" lease. You must give 30 days notice, which it sounds like you did. Worst case scenario is that you pay through November. Don't let them bully you into paying anything more than that.
