A roommate contract is still a lease agreement and yes, it is still enforceable. So if you knew about the 60-days notice and you still signed the lease then you should keep your end of the agreement.

If I signed a roommate contract and it’s telling me that I need to give 60-days notice even if it’s a month-to-month, is that enforceable?

Before signing the lease, make sure to read the termination clause. This way, you will be guided as to how many days is required for you to terminate your lease agreement.

To make it easier for everyone, send your 30-day notice the day after your rent was due. This way, your 30-days will be effective on your next scheduled payment.

It basically depends on how your lease is worded. There are some apartment managers that would allow for a prorate while others would still charge you for a whole month.

If I give my 30 days notice in the middle of the month, am I still required to pay for the whole month?

Just remember that if it’s a month to month tenancy, you’re required to give a 30day notice. That’s all.

Of course. You should get your security deposit back. That’s why you need to really clean the place up so there would be minimal deductions from your security deposit.
