Any way around giving 60 days notice to my landlord?
Due to certain circumstances, I cannot give a 60 day notice. However, I am able to give a 30 day notice. I am on month-to-month basis. My lease does say that even after it ends I have to give a 60 day notice. Is there anyway I can avoid paying the last month as I will not be living there?

If you have a lease which, by its plain language or terms, requires 60 days notice, even after its expiration (i.e. after it ends) and you go month-to-month, there is no way around it: such a provision is legal and enforceable. In signing the lease, you contractually (a lease is a contract) obligated yourself to provide that much notice.
