Black Hills State University: Can a month-to-month employee renter give notice on the final day and avoid another month?

DIRECT ANSWER

Retained guide’s periodic-tenancy explanation; not an automatic academic-year campus-lease cancellation or generic thirty-day rule for every lease.

The retained guide requires a full rental period of notice. For rent due on the first, its example requires notice by May 31 to end June 30; missing the deadline even by one day can add July rent. Fixed-term leases should be checked for their own expiration and notice terms. Align a job transfer or home closing with the actual notice period rather than assume handing over keys alone ends the private rent obligation.
