Q: Can an Indiana landlord demand a 60 notice if the tenant does not intend to renew? A 45 day notice has been given.
A:
Standard notice to give on a year long lease is 30 days. You can agree in a lease agreement to more than the standard amount. Some landlords ask for 60.
If you agreed to 60 days notice then that's what is required of you.
However, this does not automatically lock you into another year or period if you did not give 60 days notice. You may be on the hook for whatever damages the landlord incurs if he or she is unable to find a tenant during those dates that no one occupies the property, but only up to the amount of days that you failed to give notice for, in this case 15 days.
Consult a landlord/tenant attorney in your area for legal advice.
