This means that the landlord would have to give the notice on December 31st or earlier. The 30-day notice is unique in that it can only take effect on certain days: the rental due date during a periodic lease, or the end date of a term lease.įor example, if a landlord wants the tenant to vacate on February 1st, they would need to give a 30-day notice at least 30 days before February 1st.
With all the other notices, the effective date is a certain number of days after the notice is given. The timing of a 30-day notice is often confusing for both landlords and tenants, because the 30-day notice always takes effect on a rental due date rather than the 30th day after the notice is given. When a landlord or tenant wants to end a periodic lease, or when a landlord wants to change the terms of a periodic lease, a 30-day notice is required. If the landlord wants to change the lease at the end of the term (see Term of Lease), the landlord may give a 30-day notice before the end of the lease to have those changes take effect immediately after the lease term ends. If the landlord and tenant sign a lease for a period of time, that lease can only be changed by agreement of both the landlord and tenant. If the tenant does not want to rent under those terms, the tenant can give the landlord a 30-day notice to move out and vacate the property.Ī landlord CANNOT use a 30-day notice to change a term lease. For example, if a landlord is renting month-to-month and wants to raise the rent, make the property no-smoking, no longer allow pets, or make any other change to the lease, the landlord must give a 30-day notice to the tenant before those changes take effect. The 30-day notice is most commonly used to terminate a month-to-month lease, but it can also be used to change the lease.
