West Virginia Notice to End a Month-to-Month Tenancy Template
What a West Virginia notice to end a month-to-month tenancy must include under West Virginia law, and a fill-in draft that follows those rules.
What West Virginia law requires
A periodic tenancy of less than a year may be ended by notice for one full rental period before the end of any period (or by written notice like that for year-to-year tenancies); year-to-year tenancies need written notice at least 3 months before the end of the year stating the intent to terminate. A landlord's notice may be served on the tenant or on anyone holding the premises under the tenant; a tenant's notice on any owner, the owner's agent, or as at common law. A lease may set another notice period or waive notice; no notice is needed for a fixed term that ends on a set date.

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.
