A Texas landlord must provide what notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy?

Correct Answer

B) 30 days

Texas Property Code §91.001 explicitly states that a landlord or tenant may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by giving notice at least one month before the date of termination, unless the lease specifies a different notice period. Because the lease controls when it addresses notice, and the statute fills the gap when it does not, answer C correctly captures both scenarios — lease-specified notice first, then the default of one rental period. This dual-layer approach is the precise legal framework Texas uses, making C the only answer that accurately reflects the statute.
