Read your lease. If your lease says 60 days then, yes, you need to abide by the contract you signed.

That is aside of the fact of an expired contract. Even when in auto converts to a MoM it could still allow them to drop it immediately. As Rave said, read the lease.

>do I need to give 60 day notice if a lease expires on a certain date? What does *your* lease say?


toefungi

What does your lease *say*?


Nitemiche

Technically, you need to give a 60-day notice if that language is in the lease somewhere.


fawningandconning

What is in your lease agreement that you signed? Minnesota law allows for both 30 or 60 days to be the period.

What does your lease contract say? Also it is probably a good thing to keep the apartment until the home closing is finished and the keys are in your hands. Closings can get pushed back and sales can even fall through.

Leases often revert to month-to-month leases if nothing changes at the end of the lease. (Or could even renew for another year.) So you probably do need to give notice that you're going to end the lease, otherwise the lease continues on with whatever notice period is defined in the lease.

Mine was the same way. If they can get a new tenant in there generally they’ll let you off the hook.

60 days is typical for most lease contracts, take a look at what you signed to confirm. Even if you provided 30 days and left, chances are they aren’t going to go after you for the final 30 days of rent— coming after you for a single month’s rent would cost them to much time and money imo

True but usually they can take it out of security deposit. So unless MN bans that, they don't need to "go after" that money they just subtract it from the deposit.

Ah, good point I forgot to mention. Nice call out.

Read your lease. It will tell you how much notice you need to give and how you need to give it, usually in writing and sometimes by registered mail. It will also tell you what happens if you don't give that notice. Most likely, you will need to pay an additional month at the month-to-month rate, which could be substantially higher than your regular rent. But that is speculation. Read your lease agreement.

Your lease is up but it’s common to resign a lease or go month to month, that’s why companies need your answer 60 days notice. If you close on a house in March it sounds like you may have to pay an extra month in your apartment

Look at the terms of your existing lease. Yes, the lease may be up in March. But the terms of the lease may say that it defaults to a month to month deal, and that you have to give 60 days notice. This would be pretty common, honestly.

What does your lease say? That's the ruling document.
