When You Break Your Apartment Lease Do You Have To Give 30 Day Notice?
I’d like to move out of this apartment that I’ve been in for the past two months by the end of October and I’m aware I’ll have to pay a penalty, but do I have to give 30 day notice or just pay the lease break penalty and move out by the end of this month? I’m in AZ

YES! You must ALWAYS give 30 days notice. If you fail to give proper notice then they can charge you another months rent on top of the lease break fee.
If you break your lease, you’re responsible for the remainder of the lease. So, if your two months in on a 1-year lease… you are still legally obligated to pay the next 10 months. If you give a 30-day notice, your landlord may be willing to let you sublet the next 10 months, or make you only pay a portion of the next 10 months (perhaps until he finds another renter). You’re definitely out your deposit money…
