[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the lease terms are the agreement you entered into. They want to know in advance if they need to find another tenant. Doesn’t that make sense to you? If your lease says you have to give 60 days notice if you’re moving out, your lease cannot now revert to month-to-month. If you wait until day 0 and then move out without prior notice, theoretically they could go after you for whatever financial damages they can prove they incurred by your failure to abide by the terms of the lease. Your lease may or may not include some clause about you having to pay their costs and attorneys fees if you lose, but[b] I don’t know anything about landlord-tenant law where you live [/b](is it DC?).

Tl; dr: tell them when there are 30 days left. Tell them in writing and get them to respond in writing acknowledging what you told them. They may be pissed and not continue your lease, even if you want to stay, because you violated the 60-day notice agreement, but if it’s a large corporation they’ll probably be more lenient if you wind up staying.

You write two paragraphs of advice, but in the middle concede that you don't know anything about the applicable landlord-tenant law.  Fantastic.

OP, don't take the above "advice" as gospel - it may be correct, some of it may be correct, or it may be completely wrong.  There's no way to tell.  [/quote]
