You need to read your lease very carefully. It contains a provision that tells you how much notice is required before you can quit the property.
Most leases require a 30-day notice. This is so the landlord will know that the apartment is coming open and they can make plans to rent it to someone else asap.
It sounds like your landlord expects a 60-day notice. This is unusual, so be sure to check your lease agreement. |

If your lease is for one year (or whatever) and it has an expiration date with no provision for it to continue then the "contract" is over. However, usually something is written into the contract that states that after the lease expires it changes over to a month to month arrangement in which case you have an obligation to give at least 30 days notice. I've never heard of the tenant having to give more than 30 days. Well, it's not that way in the area that I live. Sometimes landlords have to give 60 days notice for various reasons but not tenants.
A lease is just that. It's an agreement to use something for a specific period of time. After the expiration date you are free to go without having to give notice. Once the lease expires a new contract/agreement has to be negotiated. This allows for the terms to be changed such as services provided, rent increases etc. But before you get your hopes up too high I would look at the fine print in your tenancy agreement very very carefully. I can't imagine this situation coming up too often.
Addendum:
One thing you should look into is whether or not the expired lease "automatically" is converted into a month to month tenancy- regardless of whether or not it is stated in writing. Check with the appropriate state government agency that governs such matters.
Also note that if you do leave at the end of July and are found responsible thru September you will not be held responsible for those months that the landlord succeeds in renting the unit. That would be double dipping and it's against the law. |

You need to read your lease carefully. If the lease you signed requires you to give at least sixty days notice of intent to non-renew, then that is what you agreed to (and I am guessing that is exactly what is in that lease).
Regardless of any state statute concerning notice, you abrogated that rule when you signed something more stringent than the state statute. |

Most apartments require you to give them written notice when you will be moving out even after the lease is up. If your lease states that you have to give them 60 days notice, and you signed it, you are legally responsible for those two months. They can keep your security deposit and take you to court for the other month. |

Check through your lease. If it says that you have to give 60 days notice in writing, then you may be screwed. Really read over your lease. |

You probably had to give 60 days written notice that you were leaving at the end of your lease. Same thing happened to me except that I gave them 50 days notice that I wouldn't be renewing my lease or going month-to-month, but my landlord made me pay for the extra month since I was 10 days late giving notice.
It's ridiculous, I know, but the lease is a binding contract. |

If your lease requires you to give notice then that is true. |

If your lease requires a 60 day notice to terminate, then you are stuck paying rent until September 30th.
If your lease requires a 30 day notice, then you are stuck paying rent until August 31st.
You can leave in July, but will still be legally responsible to pay rent through the notice period as required by your lease. |

No your lease ends in July-they signed it-you signed it... It's a binding contract...You can leave when the lease ends.. If he takes you to court he lose... he doesn't have a case... don't let this person intimidate you.. you have more rights than he does.. |
