My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Georgia
I have recently given written notice to my landlord that states my intention to vacate my apartment 30 days from my delivery of the letter. The lease states that if 60 days notice is not given to terminate or renew the lease, the lease will be extended on a monthly basis until either party gives a 60 day notice in writing. From what I can tell, this seems to contradict Georgia state Landlord - Tenant law. Now she is trying to get me to pay two additional months of rent (because my notice was dated on the 5th of September and not the 30th of August) as well as my security deposit. I don't think she'll let go of that security deposit but is this contract still valid even if the terms under the "Renewal Term and Notice of Non-Renewal" contradict Georgia State Landlord - Tenant Law? Essentially, do I have to abide by the terms in the lease if the Tenancy at Will section contradicts GA state Law? Here are the links to the law in question:

(44-7-7.
Sixty days´ notice from the landlord or 30 days´ notice from the tenant is necessary to terminate a tenancy at will.)
