To answer your question, you need to carefully read your written lease with your landlord for the unit you are renting assuming you have one. Its terms and condtions control the obligations owed by you to the landlord and the landlord to you unless in violation of your state's laws.
Most leases require a thirty day written notice to end it to be given to the landlord. Some leases automatically end and no notice is required to be given the landlord. Better practice is to give the landlord written notice of your intent to extend the lease or end it, keeping a copy of the notice for future reference if need be.
