How much notice do I have to give when terminating a rental lease?

I'm looking to terminate my apartment lease in the near future because I am moving out of state.





My contract states that I have to give 60 days notice, however, after speaking with some renters who thought that was odd, I looked up California civic codes (I live in California), and it seems that only 30 days are required for PERIODIC tenancies. However, I took periodic to mean a ';month-to-month'; tenancy, whereas I signed a 12 month lease.





Is my contract correct that I have to give 60 days' notice, or is that in violation of civic codes? If you could provide a link to some gov't entity which details this, and not a periodic tenancy, that would be much appreciated.How much notice do I have to give when terminating a rental lease?
Usually it depends on your lease agreement, sincr your says 60 days, then I would go by that. I think the civic codes are probbaly used if an agreement has not already been made. In the event that those codes are to be used, 30 days is probably the minimum, I don;t think anything before that would be in violation. Also, you may want to double check, every apartment I lived in said it has to be ';written notice';. Hope this helps, good luck!
