Re: telling my landlord
Wait...so it is October 10 and you still haven't told your landlord that you were leaving? I would tell them ASAP. I would ask to stay in the apartment until 11/15 and offer to pay half the month.

Tell the landlord. I would think they would want to know that the apartment will be available for rental.

I would tell the landlord, and I would ask to stay until 12/15 and pay half the month. This way you are covered in case the current owner ends up staying.

Is the Nov 30th the "on or about date" in your contract or is it an actual date that has been discussed? In reality, if that's the date in contract, you might not close for another 30 days.
Is your landlord someone you can talk to and let them know that you will be moving soon, without giving an actual date? That's what we did when we were inthe same situation.

Re: telling my landlord
I am a landlord, and by my standards you should have already said something! We have a policy with our tenant where if they don't give is 30 days notice we keep the security deposit, cause you just made me lose out on a month of finding someone else!!
Ask to stay until whenever you need to and pay for that amount of time, I'm sure they will be fine with that.

Since you don't have a lease, I would think that you have a good relationship with your landlord. I would tell her/him now and advise them of all the what ifs.
November 30th is a Saturday, so you are definitely not closing on that date. Does your contract say within 30 days of the date? Also, don't forget to take into account Christmas/New Years. This might drag into the new year.

Re: telling my landlord
to play it safe, i would tell your landlord you will be out by 12/31 i know it stinks having to pay the extra rent, but the closing date is approximate and may change.

at a minimum, I would share with your landlord that you have an accepted offer on a home and the estimated closing date is November 30.
Tell him/her that as soon as you have a firm date you will advise, the more communication the better. I would try to NOT committ to a move out date right now only because sometimes things get delayed. I would think that your landlord woul dbe happy to know it could be 30 days or so from now and could start getting ready to show the apt.

You should have already talked to your landlord. Explain to the landlord your situation. When we bought our house we told our landlord as soon as all parties signed the contract-He understood that our closing date was not set yet. We went to closing on the fourth but stayed in our apartment until the end of the month so we could have the house painted before we moved in.

Definitely say something ASAP. But don't committ to a move out date yet. There are SO many things that can affect a closing date. November 30th really doesn't mean much. But def give your landlord the heads up so they can start thinking about their next steps. And when you have your date, you should be giving them at least 30 days notice and paying for that time. We closed on 6/21 but didn't move out until 7/13, so we paid the half a month.

You guess and take the risk of paying a little past when you actually move out or take the risk of telling them too early and then you have on where to live.
SInce you do not have a lease and it is month to month then you much give 30 day notice.
