No, sorry.
But if you are trying to shave a few days off like you emailed the landlord on Friday the 29th of December and you want that to be the date of the notice.
You are in good shape if you just jot out a note saying.
This is to confirm my email of Dec. 29th that I am giving notice I will move in 30 days from that date. Drop it off to them personally if time is running out and you want that back date to be effective.
I don't think you'll get any problem from most landlords.
FYI. If you leave the place as good as you found it, degreased, windows washed, carpets shampooed and bathrooms detailed. You are entitled to 100% of your deposit back in most states in the US.

YES it may be considered as a "written notice", provided you get a confirmation that it was received by the landlord. This, however, could be challenged should the landlord claim that "he or she" was not the person who actually received/replied. It is always better to hand deliver the notice and get a written receipt (or have a witness with you if you don't think he will give you a receipt), or to send a certified letter which requires his signature.
I would like to think all landlords are fair and honest, but I know they all aren't.

No, unless you have sent your email with the option attached that you can see that it was read (and save the verification). But I would always be safe and send ANY correspondence via regular postal mail to a landlord. Email has become accepted as legal evidence in many cases, but with spam filtering being as agressive as it is, you can't be sure they received it.

Actually is is considered a notice.
Yet a formal written notice must be mailed by "return receipt" and that way it is signed for and can prove they received it.
Emails will stand up in a court of law if they replied to you and you have a hard copy of the correspondence. I BCC another friend the copy to CYA, just to be sure.

no! Write a stinkin' letter. You date the letter, put your full name and address and unit number and state you are giving 30 days notice and the date you will be out. You can also write something like you would like to request a move out inspection walk through on your last day when you turn in keys and remote controls, etc. This often will save you any disputed charges on your security deposit because they will have to point out anything they are going to charge you for then. It might give you a little bit of time to fix it also. Do not leave anything in the unit, remove all trash, clean, clean, clean.

E-mail is an electronic correspondence not a written one. If they reply to your email and you keep a hard copy it should count for legality.

I wouldn't do it that way. The landlord could claim that he/she didn't check their email and try holding you at fault.
Do it by typing out the letter AND getting it notarized. Make a copy for your records as well.

The definition of happiness is "being content with one's self." It doesn't count number how some distance up the ladder-of-existence we've climbed, quite its how we dealt with others as we make the confusing climb to the suitable.

I wouldn't trust it. The landlord could say he didn't receive it. I'd send a certified letter. That way you have proof that he received it.
