No lease termination despite notice…legal?
By jeff
I’m trying to get out of my lease, but my landlord is not allowing it with the threat to sue for the automatic renewal year period. I signed a joint lease that automatically renews for a year. The language to terminate it states it can be terminated by "either lessee or lessor by written notice" 60 days before the end of the lease. I sent an email to my leasing agent saying I was going to terminate my lease at the end of the term well before the 60 days, he responded (so I know he got it constituting notice in VA) the same day I sent the email. Now, a month later, he tells me he didn’t get notice from both renters, and my notice is worthless. He never took steps to contact my roommate to see about a new lease after I gave notice, or even give us a notice saying our lease would renew to see if we wanted to continue it. At the end of a lease, can it auto renew against my objection if I followed the proper lease terms to terminate it?
