If you are a month-to-month tenant, you must give written notice to your landlord at least 20 days (not including the day your serve the notice) before the last day of the month that you want to move out. For example, if you wanted to move out by July 31, the landlord must have notice no later than July 11.
Month-to-Month Rental Agreements: The notice must be received at least 20 days before the end of the rental period (the day before rent is due). The day on which the notice is delivered does not count. A landlord cannot require a tenant to give more than 20 days notice when moving out.
