Move Out Notice Policy

[Jarred S.]

I have a friend in an interesting situation - he provided his property manager (leading agent in a big complex) notice that he would certainly not be renewing over a phone call. He then received a move out notice decision form which was to provide 60 days notice. That was handed in a few days after the 60 days. They not want to charge him for the additional days in which he did not provide notice to them. 

I haven't seen the lease yet but how could he continue to live there when the lease states that it ends on a specific day (a few days before they are now making him responsible for).

Never dealt with this and he asked me for advice - any advice would be appreciated.
