I would like to Terminate lease
Hi
My lease is there till November. But I would like to terminate lease by giving 2
months notice from April 1 based on the terms written in lease agreement.
‘Tenant is permitted to give sixty days written notice to lessor of the intent to
vacate the apartment prior to lease expiration, notice must be given in writing
on the 1st day of the month’
Could you please tell me is that possible to terminate the lease based on this
term?

The language in the lease you quoted is for not renewing the lease when you have slightly more than 60 days remaining.
If you terminate the lease several months early, you will remain liable for the rent for the balance of the term of the lease or until the landlord finds another tenant. When the landlord finds another tenant, your obligation to pay rent for the balance of the term of the lease ends.
