Q: is advance notice still required with the expiration of a lease?
The landlord was verbally advised more than 30 days in advance that the tenant would not be renewing the lease upon its expiration. Now the landlord is saying 60 days notice must be given.
A: The terms of the lease will control. If it says 60 days, then 60 days notice is required. However, if the lease is silent, then the lease simply expires, unless there is a provision that says it automaticly renews ( in other words, there would be some wording about renewal, or notice of non-renewal). The owner/landlord has knowledge of the lease term, ( including the expiration date). They don't need to be told when it is going to expire- unless, again, the lease allows ofr automatic renewal.
