A Texas landlord must provide what notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy?
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
3 days
Option A is incorrect because 3 days is the notice period for certain lease violations (like non-payment of rent), not for terminating a month-to-month tenancy. This option confuses different types of termination notices.
30 days
Option B is incorrect because 30 days is the default notice period for terminating a year-long tenancy in Texas, not a month-to-month tenancy. This option applies the wrong time frame to the tenancy type.
As specified in the lease, or one rental period
60 days
Option D is incorrect because 60 days is not a standard notice period for any type of tenancy termination under Texas law. This option may reflect requirements from other states or confusion with other real estate notice periods.
Why is this correct?
Option C is correct because Texas property law requires notice as specified in the lease, defaulting to one rental period (one month for month-to-month tenancies). This reflects the state's approach to balancing contractual freedom with statutory protection for both landlords and tenants.
