I have no idea what you mean by an SFH. I have never heard that term in real estate in 27 years of practice. As to real estate law, there is no standard time to give notice. As a courtesy, you should give your notice as early as possible so that the landlord can begin the search for a new tenant. If there is a notice provision in your lease, you must comply with whatever it says or you may have a financial penalty.

Re: Residential lease for SFH

Since you rented for 1 year, there is none. I would contact the landlord 60 days prior to termination, so he has a chance to rerent and you have a chance to renew. Good luck.
