i assumed it was 30 days like everywhere else. guess i should have read the fine print. i gave them 33 days and to my horror they tell me they require 60. anyone else have to deal with a 60 day notice? i'm pissed, so annoyed i'm going to have to pay for another month that i won't even be living there. i used to work at a company that verified rental history. i have never ever heard of a 60 day notice. anyway i can get out of this one?

Yeah it's kinda weird... but the last three apartments I have been in have all required a 60 day notice.
In one of my apartments, the lady in the office was really nice. I actually moved 6 weeks early and had to still pay for the final month's rent.
However, She told me that she would try to rent my apartment out before the current month ended. Well she did, and I got my deposit plus most of the rent I paid for the last month back. So talk to them and see what they say. All she can say is "no". And if she does you will survive...
Anyway...
Ask her, if she rents it out - if you can get a portion of the monies back? Remember to clean your apartment really well - you want to make it look the same way it did, when you moved in. That way the apartment is already ready for the next tenant and it will not have to sit for two weeks waiting on the cleaning crew to clean it. This will encourage the office to go ahead and occupy the unit.
Hope This Helps...

it's at least 30 days, but they can put what ever they want in the lease. And when you sign it, you agree to it whether you read the fine print or not.
I've had to break leases before for all types of reasons. There is nothing you can do about having to pay that extra money, other than trying to sub-lease your apartment for that time. Maybe you can make up some of the money that way.

If it's in the contract (lease) that you signed, no, you can't get out of it. Thirty days is standard, but nothing says that it can't be 60.
Let this be a lesson to you. Never sign anything you haven't read and understood.

check your lease for the stated terms. it shoudl be spelled out clearly what your notice is to be given. it depends, maybe u sidgned a seperate rider for a 60 day notice. u need to check ur lease for this answer.

mine have always been 30 days. if it stated 60 days and you signed it, then i'm sorry to say, but you are stuck with the extra month of rent.

Check your lease. I've had places demand three months notice.
You can only get away with what's stipulated in the lease.

Read your lease! The notice requirements are plainly stated there! You should be pissed -- at yourself for not reading your lease!

It should state it in the lease agreement you signed. Every place is different.
