我于去年在New Jersey租房， 合同从08/01/2014 到7/31/2015（lease上的日期）,我在合同终止日期前2个星期前口头通知（到租房办公室）房东到合同终止日搬出，房东让7月30日4点以前交钥匙，我在7月30日2:oopm把钥匙给了房东。现在的问题是房东扣了我一个月的deposit以及要我交8月的房租。理由是我没有给他2 个月的书面notice. 我在我的lease里找到这样的一段原话：This rental agreement shall automatically renew the first of every month subject tothe same terms and conditions, unless either the tenant or the landlord shall give written notice to the other terminating the tenancy, said notice to be effective the first day of the anniversary date of the end of the lease and must be in written notice must be served upon the other party at least two months prior to the proposed date ending of the tenancy/lease agreement.
以及County of Camden, State of New Jersey, for a of twelve(12) months terms, begining on the 08/01/2014 day of the month, and ending on the 7/31/2015 day of month, to be used and occupied as a private dwelling for the tenant. 在lease的封面上也标有THIS IS A 12 MONTH LEASE。
请问老猫在这种情况下我是不是必须得付额外2个月的房租。
