There's two people total on the lease. I put in my 60 day notice. I was then told that I need permission from roommate to leave the lease.
Relevant details of the lease: It was fixed termed from 11/20/20 to 1/31/21 and has since turned month to month. I received no notice of renewal but based off the lease when it goes month to month... it automatically renews per notice period. The notice period it ask for 60 days.
I put in my notice to vacate/leave the lease at the end of February. So I am expected to dip by the end of April.
So my question is do I really need the permission of my roommate to end my tenancy/vacate on a month to month? Wouldn't my permission be enough to end my or our tenancy and then the remaining roommate looks to negotiate with the landlord?
I'm also getting the impression that the roommate can theoretically lock me in this month to month without her permission as the landlord seems to be counting us as one entity based off what my landlord told me.
So what are my options and is there particular case law regarding a situation like this?
