How can I avoid a late notification fee if the lease ends at the end of the monthbut I notified the office 26 days in advance instead of 30?
The agreement anyway is at the end but we notified the office we will leave (according to the agreement dates) 26 days in advance instead of 30 days?

The best way to avoid any misunderstanding between you and the landlord is simply to call the landlord personally about your notification to see if there are any problems about not giving the apparent thirty day required notice where you gave twenty-six days notice.
If you have been a good tenant, most likely the landlord will not make a big issue about four days. If the landlord requires strict compliance with the lease's requirement of thirty day notice to quit, you most likely will have to pay for an additional four days of rent.
In the big scheme, four days extra rent for a small mistake on your part is not too big of a price to pay.
Good luck.
