Sure, but the management company can also be helpful and list using the actual availabile date. I provided an update for the helpful people on this thread.
Also, the friend in quotes is obnoxious. I'm not in this situation, if that's what you're implying. Some of us actually do have friends.
They are using the actual available date, as has been pointed out - 3/1 is not that date.
What I don't understand is if 50 days is 3/1, how is 60 days 4/1... wouldn't 60 days be 3/10.
Some states require notice to include a full rental period. That's their law.
Also OP's lease might specify notice must be by the full rental period. They missed the notice date that would get them out by 3/1.
Myself, I will not advertise an vacancy until it is vacant, repaired, and clean. There is no guarantee that the tenants will be completely moved out by the end of their notice and there is most certainly no guarantee that they will leave it move-in ready.
It's rather common for tenants to not be out for a couple of days after the date they have given me and it is also common for a house to need cleaning or repairs after they move out.
I don't want to show a dirty house to an applicant because then they think that I am OK with the condition of the house.
Our properties are in a hot rental market with applicants willing to view and commit 30-60 days before taking possession. Often because they need to give 30-60 days’ notice on their active leases. However, I do give myself 2 weeks between departing tenants and new ones. So all my leases start on either the 1st or the 15th of the month.

When I was renting a few years ago, none of the apartments I viewed would show a unit before make-ready was complete. I much prefer to see the actual unit I will rent, not a model or even something "similar". There were a few times a place was on my A list but even though the unit I would be in was vacant, they would not show it to me no matter what.
I've broken leases twice in the past few years, and both times, I posted the unit myself and found the replacement tenant. I lost nothing either time. However, this is only 1 months' rent- probably not worth the effort.

The large complexes here will show you their Model unit, and try to get you to commit to one and leave a deposit, and you don't get to see the "real" one until some time after that tenant has gone.
Then of course, the "real" unit is never as nice as the model one.

More important than what the landlord is doing, is how clean the place is when showing. A cluttered place, with lots of cleaning to do, will not get rented even if the landlord put in a heroic effort.
The landlord has to find a qualified tenant, not just anyone that comes along.
