All verified rules
The period is the shortest written notice the statute allows to end a periodic tenancy that runs month to month. Where the statute ties the end to a rental date, the notice has to cover a full period up to that date; 9 of the verified states do. A "month" is drawn as 30 days in the chart.

| Alabama | not verified | The Code of Alabama site (alison.legislature.state.al.us) loads section text by script, and the fetch on 21 Oct 2026 returned only the home page, so Ala. Code § 35-9A-441 could not be read. | |
| Alaska | not verified | The Alaska Statutes pages on akleg.gov returned an error or an index page when fetched on 21 Oct 2026, so AS 34.03.290 could not be read. | |

| District of Columbia | not verified | Not read in this pass. D.C. rental housing law limits the grounds on which a housing provider may end a tenancy, which a single notice figure would misstate. | |

| Wyoming | not verified | Not read in this pass; no Wyoming section setting a month-to-month notice period was identified in the statute PDF used for deposits. | |
Reading the table
Most verified states use 30 days, often written as "one month". The outliers sit at both ends: North Carolina needs only 7 days, while Delaware needs 60 days, and New York and Vermont lengthen the period the longer a tenant has lived in the unit. Several states protect tenants in other ways too, such as requiring a reason for ending some tenancies; the state pages quote what the section read says and note where a separate rule applies.
22 jurisdictions are marked not verified because their official statute page could not be read or because the law there does not reduce to one notice figure. When a tenancy ends, the security deposit deadline starts to run, so each state page links that rule too.
