Frequently asked questions

How much notice must a landlord give to end a month-to-month tenancy in Connecticut?

At least 3 days' written notice. 3 days is the statutory minimum notice to quit; 30 days is customary and much safer practice for month-to-month terminations.

Does the termination date have to line up with the rent due date?

In many states the notice must expire at the end of a rental period (often the last day of a month). Setting the termination date to the end of a full rental period after the notice window is the safest practice.

Do I need a reason to end a month-to-month tenancy in Connecticut?

Historically, most states allow no-cause termination of month-to-month tenancies with proper notice — but a growing number of states and cities require just cause. Verify current Connecticut law and any local ordinances before serving notice.
