My year lease has ended, and I am on a month to month arrangement. People have been telling me that I do not have to give 45 days notice to vacate and 1.5 months rent and that I only have to give a 30-day written notice. I don't want problems with the landlord, as she holds a substantial security deposit that I want back. I am a senior. Your advice is appreciated.

read the lease,
but usually it is 30 days notice and you play your last month unless you paid first and last when you moved into the apartment.

yep, and some states allow the landlords to require 60 days notice, but it has to be in the lease. State law dictates how much notice, not the landlord.
google your state and landlord/tenant laws and you will probably find that the landlord can indeed require 45 days notice. Don't risk your deposit on a "friend's" advice.

Yes, it is legal, and it should be clearly defined in your lease as the terms you agreed to. I wonder why the landlord is asking for such and odd time frame...

Read your lease agreement.
