What is the proper way to provide notice since my lease is up and I am moving?
Full Question:
The lease on my apartment is up and I am due to sign a new lease for my apartment however I am moving to a new townhome. My manager said she needs a full 60 day notice and will not except it today (the 9th of the month) because it is not the 1st of the month, If I give my notice today it will be a 50 day notice. I don't have a current lease signed so can they go after me for a full 60 day notice? Will I have to wait the end of the month to give the notice and get stuck with an additional month of rent?

Answer:
Generally, where the lease requires a renewal (a new contract) at end of the term, and the term ends without such a renewal, the tenancy has terminated. However, if the landlord has accepted rental and permitted the tenant to remain, a tenancy-at-will has been created. If the language of the lease says that after expiration of the original term the parties have the right to extend under the same terms, acceptance of rent by the landlord extends the lease and all its terms including length of tenancy. In such a case no tenancy-at-will is created. Local laws vary, so I suggest calling te local tenant's association or housing department.
