A. A tenant can end a month-to-month tenancy by giving the landlord at least 30 days' written notice, or to the end of the current lease term for a fixed term lease. The landlord must serve the tenant with a 30-Day Notice to Quit if they do not want to renew a month-to-month lease. Under an annual / fixed term lease the landlord must give notice to the end of the lease term unless the tenant has violated the lease conditions.
A. If a tenant fails to comply with the lease agreement (such as by not paying the rent when it's due), the landlord can serve the tenant with a 3-Day Notice to Quit. The tenant then has 3 days to vacate the property, failing which the landlord can file a Forcible Entry or Detainer Suit. The landlord is not obligated to stop the procedure if the tenant cures the default.
