    Default Oral Agreement As 30 Days Notice

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: IN

    I've recently left my former residence. The landlord is trying to accuse me of not givig proper notice within 30 days. In my lease it did not say to give written notice just notice, which was done. A discussion confirming that I would be leaving just not knowing when occured when my landlord approached me asking what my plans were. She claimed to have a few people interested (including another tenant on the property) and said to take my time. When I was positive I was leaving the landlord was given a written statement with two weeks remaining on the lease. However, now the landlord claims they did not say there was interest in the residence. and is trying to keep the deposit all together. So I guess then my question is, does an oral agreement constitute proper notice. (yes there was a witness to the conversation)

    The lease reads: "This deposit is refundable and will be returned to resident after the premises is vacated, if the lease has been properly terminated with 30 days notice and in the amount the security deposit exceeds cleaning or damage. If the actual cost, damage or breach of terms of this agreement exceeds the amount of the security deposit, resident shall pay an excess cost. Resident shall not apply any portion of the security deposit against unpaid rent"

    The problem with a verbal notice is there is no proof on when notice was given
