Can I do something if I didn’t send a notice before 30 day ending lease?
I didn’t send a notice to my landlord 30 days after finishing the lease. From now, I have 21 days until the lease finished. I didn’t know about the 30 days. In 1/4 I emailed and asked them about the terms of the lease renewal and asked for any information regarding our current lease they didn’t tell me about the letter, they just told me that the price will be the same and I can get a letter of good standing.

day 1/10 they are telling me that I have to stay until the end of next month. The building is dangerous I got trapped on the elevator once and people have robbed my packages in the main entrance.

If you failed to timely give your notice to vacate, then you are liable for another month's rent. And such notice would be a full 30 (or more) days.

No, unfortunately, since rent is by month, if you fail to give a month's notice, you will be held for another month: e.g., in the typical situation, if you want to vacate by Jan. 31, you have to provide notice by Feb. 28 (29, in a leap year). In this example, if you delay notice until into Jan., because you are not giving a full month (at least) of notice, your tenancy can't end on the 31st, which means you now owe for February rent, too.
