In the case of a month-to-month tenancy, a notice to quit must be given at least ten days before the next due date of rent and terminates the tenancy no earlier than the last day of the rental period. This means that if rent is due on the first day of the next month, the notice to quit must be served on the tenant at least ten days before the last day of the month. However, a notice to quit served in the middle of the month, telling the tenant that he or she has 10 days to move, would terminate the tenancy before the full month is over, and would be insufficient.
