My landlord's lease has a 60 day notice clause hidden in paragraph 14, and I'm out $1,200
Signed a 12 month lease in Columbus last March and when I gave 30 days notice to move out, the office pointed to paragraph 14 requiring 60 days or you owe double rent. It's legal in Ohio but buried in tiny text, so now I'm paying $1,200 for a place I already left. Has anyone fought one of these notice clauses and actually won?

Sixty days notice is pretty standard stuff, and it was in the lease you signed, so "hidden" only works if you never read it. A judge will look at your signature and the clause and that's about it. You're better off trying to work out a payment plan with the office than spending more money fighting something you agreed to.
