I want to find a new rental that has more than two power sockets. I have to give one months notice; however, all of the ads I look at are available within that same month so asking them if I can move in one and a half months from now never works.
How do you all deal with this? Give one months notice and hope you find a place?

Well, I own, but what I would do is go ahead and rent the new place and then give notice on the old place. You’ll wind up paying rent on two places for that month, but on the upside your move won’t need to be a chaotic rush.
I’ve done this a couple of times and I’d say if you can afford it, it’s definitely worth it. But renting often leaves you in a tight financial situation so it’s not often realistic to be able to do it.
Ask your current place if you can switch to a month to month plan while you lock down a new location
Will be though to avoid having to cover both places for a week or two at first

Usually don’t have to give any notice if it’s at the end of your lease renewal period
Yep, they can claim a “late renewal fee” or whatever if you don’t renew in their timeframe but the worst they can do outside of that is give you a bad reference for not giving them a notice as far as I know… ianal
Many people often told me that I need to start to look for the next rental at least 3-2 months before the moving out date. I now live in the 15th rental apartment in my life, after changing the country twice. And I still start about a month - 3 weeks before and have no problems finding a good place, signing the contract, and moving everything. Maybe I’m lucky, maybe it’s just not as scary as some people believe.
That’s what I would love to do, but all of them are available only within one month.
…I suppose I should say that the only places I can afford right now (in my city) are house-shares, not actually apartments (though some of them are priced as such -_-). That very likely has a lot to do with the move in/out time frame.
