If there is no written lease, just an oral or verbal lease, then no--you would only owe a month's notice. If there is a written lease and it states that you have to provide 2 months or 60 days notice, however, that is legal and enforceable, so if the notice period is in a written lease, you'd have to provide (or pay) that much notice.
