If the lease states that you must pay two month's rent in order to break your lease, that's a seperate issue from the notice clause in the lease. Regardless of how much of a notice you are giving, you are still breaking the lease. So, most likely, no, you have no case at all. If you pay the two months you are there, and pay the lease breaking fee, I would imagine that as long as you haven't done crazy damage to the apartment you should get most or all of the deposit back, in which case you will break even with the lease breaking fee. If they keep your deposit, demand a detailed explanation in writing of the reason for it. If they do not refund the deposit, nor give you satisfactory explanation for it (in writing, I cannot stress that enough) you may have a court case. They can't just keep your deposit for no reason.
