If I am in a sublet and I was never made fully aware that the complex requires 60 days notice before moving out, can they still charge me?
My lease is an amendment to a lease that states “this amendment is not intended for use after the original lease term has expired”, this is the only document they have that has my name on it. The property raised my rent by $400 and will not negotiate.

If you are in a sublease, your agreement for the rental that you have is with the tenant who initially leased the apartment from the landlord. You do not have a direct lease agreement with the landlord.
If so, you need to read your written sublease with the tenant. Its terms and conditions control the obligations between you and the tenant/landlord.
If you never signed an agreement with the tenant/landlord on the sublease stating anyhting about a 60 day required notice for a move out from the complex, then you are not obligated to give the 60 notice since you have no contract requiring this.
You should write your tenant/landlord stating that you have no agreement with him or her requiring 60 days notice for move out.
Good luck.
