Notes
Thirty days' written notice ends a month-to-month tenancy. Entry: 24 hours, except in an emergency. Nonpayment: a five-day written notice to quit — but the landlord need not give it at all if the lease itself carries the exact warning set out in § 27-40-710(B). No statute sets a rent-increase notice period.
