Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Minnesota

Expired Lease - Notice to Vacate

I live in St. Paul, MN. I signed a lease to rent my apartment in April 2006. This lease expired in April 2007. No new lease was required or signed and I have since been paying rent monthly. The expired lease does not include language about renewal terms. There is a paragraph called Two Months Notice Agreement stating 60 days notice to vacate is required. Are these terms still valid even though the lease is expired? It is my understanding that when tenancy reverts to month-to-month at the end of a lease term, only 30 days notice is required legally. Are the terms in my original lease invalid now that I am a tenant at will? Thanks!

The lease terms ( incl notice provision) control.

I would have to review to advise, but such term would be controlling even after expiration of the primary term of lease. Rent is same, etc.
