Re: 30 notice
If you have a true lease agreement, as opposed to a month-to-month rental, the lease terminates on the date specified in the lease.
There could be other terms in the lease that requires otherwise, which I would need to read to respond.
Re: 30 notice
If your lease had a fixed term, i.e., one year, no notice by either landlord or tenant is necessary in order to terminate it at the end of that term, although giving notice of intention not to seek a renewal, etc. is customary and appropriate. If, however, this was a month-to-month lease, 30 days' notice is necessary to effect a termination. The notice can be given on any day of the month, and the lease terminates 30 days thereafter.
