If our 1 year lease was uplast monthbut we’re still here paying rent, how much notice do we need to give before moving out?
We’ve signed nothing new and landlord is uncommunicative. We still pay rent. Are we on month-to-month? Does the law assume that a new one-year lease is in effect? Most importantly, how much notice do we legally need to give before vacating. We bought a house and as soon as it’s fixed up we want to move!

Since you are still living on the premises after your lease ended and are continuing to pay rent, your tenancy is now month-to-month. A month-to-month tenancy requires thirty days written notice of termination.
