My last apartment was in Avondale, AZ. Our lease states we are required to give a 60 day notice but we gave a 43 day notice. After moving out we waited a month to receive or deposit or itemized list of what the deposit was used for. This letter never came and instead a collections letter came claiming I owe $425. The apartments state this fee was charged because we did not give a 60 day notice but this is not stated on my lease. No where on the lease does it say if you do not give the required 60 day notice you liable for a fee or penalty. Can I fight this since it was never on the lease?
It is stated in the lease. You are required to give 60 days notice. The landlord is charging you rent for 60 days after you gave notice. How else would you like or to be spelled out?

Is it or is it not written n the lease to give 60 day notice?
Geez. I did not know asking a question I'm oblivious to is subjected to such rudeness.
The 60 day notice clause isn't there just to take up space in your lease. It is a contract and you signed it and agreed to it. No one forced you to sign it. It is there for a reason and if you are unable to give the required notice then don't you think it would be your responsibility to inquire about what happens if you don't give the required notice? Breaching that lease clause doesn't just magically go away without penalty.
If you think it does go away, or should, please explain your reasoning or logic behind it. Otherwise, chalk it up to an expensive hard lesson learned and be careful to read what you sign and commit to from now on and question anything that doesn't make sense or that you don't understand.
