Is it legal to give your 30 days notice by email? Does that count as written notification? I gave 40 days notice to allow a little extra time, and did this by email. It's been a couple of days, and I've received no reply. We're now approaching the 30 day limit, and I need to be sure that email notice is valid.
I cannot see him in person, he lives in a different state, has no property manager, and I can't seem to reach him by phone. Does it matter if he acknowledges it, as long as I sent it? Or should I get confirmation that he has also RECEIVED it?

PS: he normally always replies within hours, I suspect he's intentionally not replying.

The best way to ensure he gets it would be to send it USPS Certified Return Receipt. Cost $4.64. If it comes back unclaimed do not open it just keep it in case you have to take it to court.

I would not rely on email notice unless the lease specifies that notices may be given by email. If the landlord replies then it will be sufficient. But since the landlord has not replied yet it would be a good idea to send the notice by certified mail AND regular mail.

Use "Certified Mail"... That is the only legal way in YOU situation to assure that he / she gets your notice ! You will have a receipt that he / she received this mail and cannot be disputed !
Good luck !

If he has provided you an e-mail address for correspondence and you cannot reach him by phone, you can e-mail it to him. However, it would best be done in writing with signature verification.
