:'''For example''': Raj Gill has a month-to- month agreement and has decided to move. He plans to move out of his apartment on December 31. He will give his notice to his landlord on November 30 at the latest. Giving notice December 1 is too late. If he is late, Raj has to pay an extra month’s rent. | :'''For example''': Raj Gill has a month-to-month agreement and has decided to move. He plans to move out of his apartment on December 31.

Keep a copy of the notice. | It's best to give the notice to the landlord or the building manager yourself.
