Massachusetts Month-to-Month Eviction

In Massachusetts, ending a month-to-month tenancy requires landlords to use a 30-day notice to quit if the tenancy is less than three months. For leases that are three months or longer, a three-month notice to quit is necessary. These notices must inform the tenant that the lease will terminate at the end of the notice period, at which point they are expected to vacate the premises. The notice may also present the tenant with an option to enter into a new lease agreement under different terms.
