| Utah | Landlord: notice served 15 calendar days or more before the end of the month or rental period. Tenancy at will: not less than 5 calendar days' notice. Utah Code 78B-6-802(1)(b) |
| Arizona | Either party gives written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice. Week-to-week tenancies need at least 10 days' written notice. A.R.S. § 33-1375(A)-(B) |
| 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 |
| Idaho | Tenancy at will: landlord must give written notice of at least one month to vacate; tenant must give written notice at least one month before the stated move-out date. For residential leases, at least 30 days' written notice is also required before a rent increase or non-renewal takes effect. Idaho Code §§ 55-208, 55-304(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) |
| New Mexico | Either party: written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date specified in the notice. Week-to-week: at least 7 days' written notice. NMSA 1978, § 47-8-37(A)-(B) |
| 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) |
