Mississippi Notice to End a Month-to-Month Tenancy Template
What a Mississippi notice to end a month-to-month tenancy must include under Mississippi law, and a fill-in draft that follows those rules.
What Mississippi law requires
Month-to-month: written notice at least 30 days before the termination date. Week-to-week: at least 7 days. A tenancy is week-to-week if rent is paid weekly, otherwise month-to-month, unless the agreement fixes a term. No notice is required for a substantial violation that materially affects health or safety. For a fixed-term lease that has expired, the landlord may give written (or agreed email or text) notice that the tenant is holding over and that eviction will be filed no earlier than 3 days later. The eviction filing must attach the termination notice.

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.
