I was originally on a lease for a year at my current residence. After that it went to month to month. It has been month to month for two months, so the total time I have lived there is 14 months. From what I understand, I should receive a 60 day notice. My landlord gave me a 30 day notice.

She said the reason she could do this is because my roommate gave her 30 day notice. I told my landlord that I intended to stay another two months and she told me she didn't have to give me a 60 day notice because of my roommate saying she was leaving.

I think I should still receive a 60 day notice because I said I intended on staying even though my roommate was leaving. Shouldn't I still be protected under Rights for Renters. My reasoning is that if we were on a year lease and my roommate ditched out before that amount of time, then I would still be liable for her end of the lease. Because we both signed it. We are both separate entities making our own decisions.

Any advice out there?
 
Oh yeah, and the 30 day notice that I received was in both of our names. She gave her 30 day notice ending May 30th, 2009 and the 30 day notice is for the 6th of June because that is when I was notified that I would have to leave also.
