| 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 |
| Iowa | Either party: written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date specified in the notice. Week-to-week: at least 10 days. Terms longer than month-to-month: at least 30 days before the end of the term. Iowa Code § 562A.34 |

| South Dakota | A tenancy with no specified term renews automatically unless a party gives notice of termination at least as long before expiration as the rental period, but not more than one month. For a month-to-month tenancy, either party gives one month's notice. SDCL 43-32-15 |
| Wyoming | No statute — Wyoming sets no notice period for ending a month-to-month tenancy; the rental agreement governs. A periodic tenancy is not implied by law: when a lease ends, a tenant who stays (even if rent is accepted) is only a tenant by sufferance unless a new written agreement is signed. To remove a tenant who holds over, the landlord must serve a 3-day notice to quit before filing an FED case. W.S. 34-2-128, 34-2-129; 1-21-1002(a)(i), 1-21-1003 (Title 1, Ch. 21, Arts. 10 and 12 checked) |
