My lease auto-renewed for 12 more months and I got out of it with one sentence about the notice clause
Honestly I almost missed this one. My landlord sent the renewal notice on a Friday and the lease said I had to give 60 days written notice to not renew, but the notice came only 45 days before the deadline. I sat there for a bit feeling dumb, then read the clause again and it said notice must be given "no earlier than the date of the renewal offer," which was 45 days out. So the window they gave me was 15 days wide and it started the same day they mailed it. I sent a certified letter on day 3 citing that exact wording and asking them to point me to where I got more time. Two days later they emailed back saying they'd release me with no penalty. I'm not a lawyer and this could have gone the other way, but it worked and I keep the $1,900 they wanted for the early out. Has anyone else found a notice clause that basically timed itself out like this?
