Re: apartment lease
If a Tenant has a written lease and is not in default, the lease determines when it ends. No need to give notice.
If the Tenant is in default, again, look to the lease to determine how many days the tenant has to cure the default after you give written notice of same. Thereafter, if not cured, the Landlord may bring an eviction action in court.
Yes, the parties may agree to be bound by different terms. Make sure it is in a signed writing.
