What Connecticut law says

Ending a month-to-month lease	Landlord: Notice to Quit for lapse of time served at least 3 days before the quit date (quit date should coincide with the end of a rental period). Tenant: no statutory notice period found. Source: Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 47a-3b, 47a-23
How notices must be delivered	A notice to quit must be in the statutory written form. For residential tenancies, an attested copy must be served by a proper officer (such as a state marshal) on each lessee or occupant, or left at their residence. Service may be made on any day of the week. Before P.A. 25-78, an 'indifferent person' could also deliver it. Other notices under Chapter 830 (for example, the 45-day rent increase notice) must be written, but no delivery method is specified. No statute authorizes email or text delivery of a notice to quit. Source: Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-23(b)-(c) (as amended by P.A. 25-78)
