What constitutes sufficient notice of a move?
I am 30 days away from the end of my 1 year lease. I submitted a 60 day notice that we would not be renewing our leasing well before the 60 day deadline. I put it in the night drop with my water bill payment. The water bill check was cashed and I never received a renewal request, so I assumed the notice was accepted – a poor decision on my part. I just learned that the apartment claims they never received it. I submitted a copy of the dated letter and a copy of the cashed check. Is this enough evidence to prove I gave sufficient notice?

I would certainly take the positon that it did although I thik that you probably realize now that sending it without proof of mailing or receipt was probably not the best move. Did the leter by any chance make reference to the enclosed water bill that was received and check cashed? That would certainly be a plus. But at this point I would send another letter enclosing the original letter by certified mail again advising them of your intentions. Good luck.
