If your lease requires a 60 notice does that mean 60 days prior to the end of the lease?
Or can I decide on the last day of my lease that I want to move and give a 60 day notice and continue to reside there for 60 days out of lease until the 60 days is up? My apartments are telling me I need to come in and sign a new lease 60 days prior to the old lease expiring.

For a definitive answer, you need to review the exact language of the lease--with an attorney's help, if you have any questions--since, like any other contract, a lease is governed by its specific terms. That said, the type of provision you describe almost always requires 60 days notice prior to the lease's expiration.
