If I received a notice that my “at will” rental is not being renewed, do I still have to give a 30 day notice?

I received this notice on the first of this month. By statelaw, the landlord must give me a 60 day notice that I have to move out which they did. I told my landlord as of today (3 weeks after receiving the notice) that I was going to be moved out in a week. Since I was given a notice to move out, am I still obligated to give a 30 day notice of my departure?

Since your landlord gave you the statutory notice that your at-will month-to-month lease was not going to be renewed, your lease ends and as such, you do not have to give written notice of your intent to end your lease.

The rationale is that the lanlord has already advised you that your lease is ending. To be on the safe side, I would send a written letter to the landlord confirming his or her ntoice to end your lease keeping a copy of your letter for future reference if need be.
