Massachusetts Notice to Vacate FAQs

How much notice is needed to end a month-to-month tenancy in Massachusetts?

30 days or one full rental period, whichever is longer, in writing, ending on a rent day. For unpaid rent, a 14-day notice to quit is enough, but it must come with the state’s required form, and many tenants have a right to cure (c. 186 §§11, 12, 31).
