Arkansas Notice to End a Month-to-Month Tenancy Template

What a Arkansas notice to end a month-to-month tenancy must include under Arkansas law, and a fill-in draft that follows those rules.

What Arkansas law requires

Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy by written notice given to the other at least 30 days before the termination date stated in the notice (7 days for week-to-week). The notice must be in writing and state the termination date; no other content is required. The tenant receives a notice when it is handed to the tenant or mailed by registered or certified mail to the address the tenant designated or the last known residence.

Enacted text from Act 1004 of 2007. The current wording of § 18-17-704 matches the FindLaw mirror (current as of March 28, 2024). Unless the lease sets a term, a tenancy is month-to-month, or week-to-week for a roomer who pays weekly (§ 18-17-401(c)). Older Attorney General guidance describes 'one rental period' of notice; § 18-17-704(b) sets 30 days' written notice for month-to-month tenancies.

Fill-in draft

Replace every [bracketed] item. If your state or city requires specific wording, a specific form, or a translated version, that requirement controls over this draft. Courts dismiss eviction cases over defective notices — if anything is unclear, talk to a lawyer.
