You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
It depends on which day of the month the note is left. When there is a month to month tenancy, a landlord must give notice at least 15 days before the next monthly rent is due. If the landlord complied with the law, then you must vacate. If the notice was after the 15th day, then the landlord must wait until the next month.
