Better to post in the Renting forum.
You need to talk to your landlord and ask if it's ok if you stay past the end of your lease while waiting for your next place to be available (you'll obviously owe prorated rent for the extra time you stay, it won't be free). Whether or not they let you depends on the landlord and whether they have another tenant lined up already, or if they already have appointments set with painters, carpet guys, etc. Some landlords allow it, some don't. You'll just have to ask.
You mentioned a 30 day notice, did the landlord give you a 30 day notice of termination of tenancy? Or did you give a 30 day notice that you were moving?
