I live in Laurel MD. I have a clause of automatic renewal for my apartment lease if I fail to give a termination written notice.
The clause states that the lease will be renewed according to the terms of a notice sent by landlord 90 days prior to the expiration of my lease. It also states that if a fail to give them a written notice that I want to terminate my lease at least 60 days before my lease expiration date, then their notice will be effectively enforced. I admit I didn't send a notice until 30 days prior expiration of the lease. However I didn't receive any notice from the landlord either. They showed me a copy of it but not the proof it was sent. It seems to me we are both in breach here. Can I challenge that and change the terms of my lease to a month-to-month since both parties are in breach? Also, the notice they showed me has so many mistakes such as: new lease starts 06/16/2015, ends 06/15/2015
