Did you look at your original lease? What I've seen is that 60 days is usually the norm on a Year to Year lease, for a month to month lease it's exactly that month to month with a 30 day notice.
$50 a year in rent raises this economy, especially when there are so many vacancies is greedy. I'd find another apartment, sometimes you can find a landlord that appreciates a long term tenant and they would rather have a good long term renter more money. Try a basement apartment, or a MIL, stay away from those mass units. The owners care about nothing but money, and they will find the cheapest way to keep them running.

I agree, now would you tell that to the tax man and the insurance man, they didn't get the memo!!!!!!!
I believe you will find that under MN landlord tenant laws you are required to give 30 days notice to your landlord if you are on a month to month agreement. As far as the stove is concerned, unless it doesn't work it's not an issue you can legally pursue with any expectation of a result which would satisfy you. The fact that it takes a few seconds for one of the burners to light isn't a legal issue.
I guess I'm stupid.... the front right burner took a year and a day to turn on, the maintenance guy from the complex looked at it, said fixed... It wasn't.
Went to Home Depot and bought a new one, problem solved.
First, see what your contract says about breaking a lease early. If you are unsure about it or unhappy with the terms, then talk to your landlord about it, and if you've been the perfect tenant and he is a decent person, maybe you could work something out. That's what we did with our landlord after we bought a home and had to move out early.

They didn't say there was a $50 a year increase. They said that if they want to go month to month without resigning a term of lease, there is a $50 increase. We do the same thing. It is an incentive for the tenant to plan ahead. If they want to have more flexibility and leave us up in the air with not knowing when the unit might become vacant, there is a premium on that. $50 is actually pretty normal for the price range mentioned, at least in my area.
And as for vacancies, that is very area specific, as well as specific to types of rentals. Apartments in my area have a normal amount of vacancies right now, but we have all duplexes and single family houses and we have had way fewer vacancies than usual over the last 6 months. Almost everything has been rerented before the prior tenant has vacated, so we just have a couple days of downtime to clean and repair. So rents are actually up a bit here.
