Yes (if it is a one-year lease), but no more than 60 days:

Sec. 9‑205. Notice to terminate tenancy from year to year. Except as provided in Section 9‑206 of this Act, in all cases of tenancy from year to year, 60 days' notice, in writing, shall be sufficient to terminate the tenancy at the end of the year. The notice may be given at any time within 4 months preceding the last 60 days of the year.
