Notice of Termination

[Kathy Kifer]

How many days do you indicate on your leases for Notice of Termination for the 1 month to under a year leases?

I use 45 days on my 12 month leases, but of course that doesn't make sense if you have a 1 or 2 month lease.

I'm in Texas and I was trying to research the law, and just kept coming back to 30 days. But did look like it might could be less, if written in the lease (which I am trying to do).

Would appreciate feedback. Thanks!

In Texas, the law requires a minimum of 30 days' notice for termination of a month-to-month lease. However, for leases shorter than one month, the notice period can be shorter, as long as it is stated in the lease agreement. So, for example, if you have a 3-month lease, you could specify a 15 or 20-day notice period in the lease agreement. It's important to note that if the lease agreement specifies a notice period that is shorter than the legal minimum, the legal minimum will still apply. It's always a good idea to consult with a local attorney to ensure that your lease agreement complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
