Re: eviction

If you want to be safe you should give at least 30 days written notification either to terminate the lease and give a forwarding address if you are the tenant. And if you are the Landlord the same rule applies....remember though this is only for a month to month lease, if you have a year to year lease any early termination by either party would be construed as breach and either party could be held financially responsible.

Re: eviction

If a lease does not specify the notice required a landlord must give 15 days in the case of a lease less than 1 year in duration and 30 days if 1 year or more. There is no statutory notice requirement for a tennant to end a lease beyond returning possession at the end of the term of the lease.
