I've decided not to renew the lease and I am going to move elsewhere for better location and quality. I asked the manager if I could give her a notice to leave the apartment that is more than 30 days away. I explained that I didnt want to give the standard 30 day notice because I didnt know if I'd have someting lined up by then. She said all she can give me is the 30 days before I have to leave the apartment. Is this LEGALLY all she has to give me??? I've been on a search for a new place, but most have waiting lists that are too far away. There is one application for a new apartment somewhere being processed right now and it may come back approved in a few days, but I'm not sure. How can I buy more time at my current apartment. Is she right about the 30 day thing???

Once the lease is up, you normally become a month-to-month tenant-at-will. You generally must give AT LEAST 30 days notice that you will leave. You may give more notice if you choose.
If the landlord decides that they want you to move, they only need to give you whatever notice is stipulated in the lease or what is required by law, whichever is greater. If you give 60 days notice and the LL counters with a 30 day notice to quit, you have to be out in 30 days.

Give her the 30 days at the time you find a new place, not before. Being a landlord, I would be looking for a new tenant knowing you are moving, but would need a definite move-in date to give to the new tenant. It's only right. She can give you a month-to-month lease after your initial yearly lease expires, it's her choice. I would, if I were her, a lot less problems.
Talk to her again. You just never know...

you can always give her more than thirty days....just write a note that says at the end of your current least that you are not renewing. If you find a good apartment in the meantime most places as long as you put the security deposit down...will hold an apartment for a month or two for you to move in.

It depends entirely on what your lease says. Those are the only terms binding you and your landlord to anything.
If you do not have a lease but rent month-to-month, it depends on what the state law says. Here in New York state, you have to give one month and one day's notice (for example, if you were moving out October 1, you have to tell the landlord no later than August 31), and once you've given notice, you can't rescind it (take it back and decide to stay) without the landlord's written permission.

yes, when your lease ends it automatically reverts to what is called a month to month lease in which any party either you or the landlord only has to give 30 day notice to end the lease
now also with the lease ending, she can push to have you out by the end of the lease date if you do not renew or more likely hold you to a month to month notice

That is all she is required to give you. 30 days is considered reasonable notice. Your alternative is to renew your lease if they will let you and start looking further in advance next time.

you will could desire to communicate on your landlord approximately this, as you could not unilaterally destroy the words of the hire. even nevertheless the hire has expired, the words nonetheless stand, yet can be replaced with 30 days be conscious. you will could desire to verify you landlord can amend your settlement and exclude you from it. whether you provide perfect be conscious and pass out, you and your roomate are nonetheless mutually and severally accountable for the apartment unit. this suggests that, as long as a minimum of one in all you remains residing in the apartment unit, you're the two accountable for the entire quantity of hire and fees, whether one in all you is not there. only communicate on your landlord.
