Notes

A tenancy at will ends with at least 30 days' written notice. Rent or mandatory recurring fees may be raised only after 45 days' written notice, or 75 days' where the increase — alone or with others in the previous twelve months — reaches 10% or more, and neither may be waived. Entry: 24 hours is presumed reasonable notice, except in an emergency. Nonpayment: once rent is seven days or more in arrears, a seven-day notice, which is void if the full rent is paid before it expires.
