When does a landlord NOT have to provide notice to terminate a lease?

A landlord does not have to provide notice to terminate a lease when the lease term ends because the expiration of the lease is typically specified in the lease agreement itself. When a lease reaches its designated end date, the landlord is not required by law to give additional notice; the tenancy simply concludes as agreed upon in the contract.

This is distinct from situations involving non-compliance or late payments, where landlords are often required to provide notice prior to termination to allow tenants a chance to rectify the issues. In the case of a month-to-month lease, although a landlord might terminate the agreement with notice, it is still necessary to provide advance notice of termination. Thus, the end of a lease term stands apart as a clear, straightforward termination point without the need for notification.
