| California | Landlord: 30 days' written notice if the tenant has lived there less than one year, 60 days if one year or more. Tenant: notice at least as long as the rental period, usually 30 days for month-to-month. Where the AB 1482 Tenant Protection Act applies (after 12 months of occupancy, non-exempt property), the landlord also needs a just cause stated in the notice. No-fault just cause requires relocation assistance. Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1946, 1946.1, 1946.2 |
| Nevada | Landlord: at least 30 days' written notice for month-to-month (and other non-weekly periodic) tenancies; 7 days for week-to-week; 5 days for tenancy at will. A tenant 60 or older or with a physical or mental disability may request an additional 30 days of possession (not for week-to-week). Tenant: no statute sets a separate notice period for the tenant, but a rental agreement may not require the tenant to give the landlord a different notice of termination than the landlord must give the tenant (30 days for month-to-month). NRS 40.251(1)-(2); NRS 118A.220(1)(e) |

| Colorado | For tenants covered by the for-cause eviction law (generally after 12 months of tenancy), the landlord may not end the tenancy without cause. No-fault grounds (demolition or conversion, substantial repairs, owner or family move-in, sale, refusal to sign a new lease with reasonable terms, or repeated late rent) require at least 90 days' written notice. For exempt tenancies, and for tenant-given notice, a month-to-month tenancy (at least one month but less than six) needs 21 days' notice. Tenancies of six months to under a year need 28 days, and tenancies of one year or longer need 91 days. C.R.S. §§ 38-12-1301 to 38-12-1303; 13-40-107 |
