If you are on a month to month tenancy, the landlord has the right to terminate it by giving proper notice. A lease agreement may be ended when either party gives written notice to the other of their intention.
Weekly --------- 7 days; Monthly -------- 15 days; Quarterly ------- 30 days; and Yearly ---------- 60 days
Normally, when a lease is about to expire neither the landlord nor the tenant must give a reason for serving notice to vacate.
