How much notice is required for a year lease?
My lease is scheduled to end the 31st of next month, and I gave written notice on the15th of this month. Is that enough time? I think there is an automatic renewal clause to my lease. However under MN statutes they have to give me certified mailing notice or personally deliver that to me, which they did neither.

The answer to your question would most likely be stated in the written lease's express provisions assuming you have a written lease for the property you are renting. The lease is a contract. The contract contols the obligations of the landlord and the tenant regarding the property being rented.
You need to carefully read the written lease (assuming you have one) to make sure all notices about renewal or termination are complied with by you. If you do not comply with its written terms and there is an automatic renewal provision if no notice is given ending a renewal, you could be obligated for a longer stay and obligation than planned.
Unless anynotice provisions violate your State's laws on the subject and the written lease, you need to comply with all time periods for renewal or termination of your agreement with the landlord.
Good luck.
