Q: Based on the section below of my lease dated May 3, 2021, when would be the earliest my Landlord can cancel the Lease?
My Lease was signed May 3, 2021 with a Termination Date of April 30, 2023. However, there is a clause that “After May 1st, 2022, at the Landlord's sole acceptance, the Lease Agreement may be terminated with 60 day prior notice, from either the Landlord or Tenant, requesting the termination. This right will continue through the termination date.”
Does this mean if the Landlord provides notice tomorrow, March 2, 2022, can the Lease can be terminated at May 2, 2022 since technically notice was given 60 days before ?
A: The landlord could give the 60-day notice "requesting termination" on May 2nd, and then "accept" that request after 60 days, thus on June 30th. Doesn't make a lot of sense though. The last sentence quoted makes even less sense.
