Read what your lease says on how much notice you need to give. If you are on a M2M lease, usually it is only 30 days, but yours may differ.

If you are evicted, your landlord can go to court and recoup the remainder of your lease, their legal fees and any damages there may be to the apartment. This will be more than just two months worth of rent. (probably closer to 4)

Evictions are also a black mark on your credit report and can follow you around for a very long time jeopardizing your ability to rent in the future.

Work it out with your landlord, go to mediation if necessary (most cities have one). If you can find a replacement tenant, your landlord may only charge you 1 month’s rent instead of two, since you did the legwork to find a new tenant for them.

Work it out. Avoid eviction.
