When Does the 30 Day Notice Countdown Start
Hi. I have a tenant who is currently on a month-to-month rental agreement.
I know that in Tennesee, I must provide a 30-day notice to vacate (no violations in this scenario). When does that 30-day countdown start? Is it the day the notice is given? For Example:
If I give the notice on February 15th. Does that mean the lease ends 30 days after on March 15th, or would it be at the end of that month on March 31st? Any help pointing me in the direction of the proper codes that I can look up as evidence would be very valuable as well.
Thanks in advance!

Does the written lease allow pro-rated rents? If not, then termination date would be March 31. If the lease does allow it (or there's no mention) then the count begins 1 day after notice was given to the tenant. Keep in mind that February has 28 days this year. A 30-day notice given on February 15th would end on March 17th. This is how it works in TX please check TN try this
