We were living in one apartment and 6 months lease suppose to over on 31st January so we went to give notice on 29th December but by the time we reach.. office was closed. Then weekend and came 1st January holiday due to new year holiday. When we went to give notice on 2nd January .. they didn’t accept and said we were late. But according to our lease we can give our 30 days apartment vacant notice “On or Before 1st of the Month” now technically 1st was national holiday so don’t they should accept our notice on 2nd? Also there is not anything specially written on lease that if 1st day of the month or end of the month falls on holiday then notice must be turn on before those days!!! … so what do you think?

Sorry, you should have taken into consideration (your responsibility) that holidays and weekends, the office would be closed. Your landlord is correct.

“On or Before 1st of the Month” is pretty plain to me.
The 2nd of the month is not “On or Before 1st of the Month” is it?
Like acermill said if you had put it in a mailbox on the 29th or so or just slid it under the door on the 31st you would have been covered.
No credit for delivering on the 2nd no matter what the circumstances.

Sam, bare with me, if you have a mo to mo rental agreement, you need to supply the LL with a 30 day notice of vacating the premises...
On a LEASE, you needn't supply the LL anything in writing as your term is already written within the Lease itself. On the final day of the lease, you must be out, completely, or you can be charged with HOLDING OVER and or find it necessary to pay another 30 days rent without the benefit of residency.
Lease's are for specific dates....
Month to month agreements req: 30days notice.

If you had slipped the notice under the door or through the letter slot or dropped it in the mail on the 29th, you would have tendered timely notice.
Notice must normally span one full rental period so notice given on the 1st would be late anyway.

Sorry to say, you lose on this one. While your intention was there, you did not follow through on your intention.
As a matter of business, notices to terminate tenancies should always be in writing anyway, rather than verbal. Had you thrown a written notice into the mailbox on December 29, you would have been properly covered, no matter when they received it.

If the lease calls out "Business Days" then you might be responsible. If it doesn't specify anything then 30 days is 30 days and then you would be correct. They have to take it on the date you delivered it.

I think the 1st is the 1st. If you have a bill due the 1st and it's a holiday do you pay it on the 2nd and assume it's on time?
I think you lose here.
