A: Although the contract determines the parties rights, it can never break the law of the land. So if your city, state, and/or county, requires the landlord to provide notice to terminate, and most do, the law of the land will prevail. You can make him go to court and try to evict you. If he's breaking the law, he won't even try. If you don't mind leaving early, you could always offer to leave early if he pays you money.
