Full question:
The lease on my apartment is up and I am due to sign a new lease for my apartment however I am moving to a new townhome. My manager said she needs a full 60 day notice and will not except it today (the 9th of the month) because it is not the 1st of the month, If I give my notice today it will be a 50 day notice. I don't have a current lease signed so can they go after me for a full 60 day notice? Will I have to wait the end of the month to give the notice and get stuck with an additional month of rent?

Answer:
Generally, if your lease requires a renewal and it ends without one, your tenancy terminates. However, if the landlord accepts rent and allows you to stay, a tenancy-at-will is created. If your lease states that after the original term, the parties can extend under the same terms, accepting rent extends the lease and all its terms, including the length of tenancy. In this case, no tenancy-at-will is established. Local laws may vary, so it's advisable to contact your local tenant's association or housing department for specific guidance.
