How much notice must a landlord give to end a tenancy in Indiana?

| Notice required | 30 days |
Notes
One month's notice ends a month-to-month tenancy. Nonpayment: 10 days' notice, unless the lease agrees otherwise. Entry: § 32-31-5-6 requires "reasonable" notice rather than a fixed period, so no number is published. No statute sets a rent-increase notice period — the lease governs.
