Id. at 59. The tenant left the premises, despite the inadequate notice to quit, and then the landlords sought an additional month’s rent because the tenant herself had not given the statutory thirty days’ notice. We affirmed the trial court’s ruling that the tenant did not owe the extra rent. We concluded that the landlords’ own conduct pressing for early vacation of the premises amounted to a “waiver of the thirty days’ notice requirement” and thus estopped them from claiming additional rent. Id. It is clear, moreover, from our presentation of the issue in Sklar quoted above that the landlords’ noncomplying notice to quit, if not honored by the tenant, would not have permitted the rent increase the landlords sought.
