I think I ninja edited my post to include more replies after you made this post. I do have written acknowledgement that the landlord accepted 30 days notice. I guess I will have to file in Magistrate Court and see what the outcome ends up being, as the landlord and property owner will not budge. I tried to reason with them - $1625 is much cheaper than legal defense costs, but they seem determined to see this through.
Well, you can sue for 3 times the $1625 under 44-7-35(c):

He would have to prove excusable error to be limited to forfeiting only the $1625.

Your emails might be enough to document the waiver of the 60 days notice if the judge accepts your emails as evidence or the LL admits.

Or, the judge might look at both of you and call it even.

No way to predict but it's probably worth the money it takes to file and serve the lawsuit. Keep in mind that you have to name both the owner and his agent in case they point fingers at each other.
