Read your lease. It probably requires a 30 day notice, even in a reletting situation. Although you didn't have 30 days notice, it doesn't diminish your obligation to the landlord. Give the notice, and you will owe one more month rent, if that is the lease provision. You are actually fortunate that they are in agreement with the relet, as you could be held liable under the entire term of the lease.
