In URLTA-adopting Kentucky jurisdictions, KRS 383.695 lets either party end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days' written notice before a periodic rental date, a week-to-week tenancy with 7 days' notice, and a post-lease holdover tenancy with 10 days' notice. Outside URLTA areas, common-law notice rules apply.
Kentucky's URLTA (KRS 383.500-.715) applies only in cities and counties that adopted it, such as Louisville and Lexington. In those areas, KRS 383.695(2) provides that a party may terminate a month-to-month tenancy "by a written notice given to the other at least thirty (30) days before the periodic rental date specified in the notice," while subsection (1) requires 7 days' notice for week-to-week and subsection (3) requires 10 days' notice for a tenancy continuing after a written lease ends. If a tenant willfully holds over in bad faith, KRS 383.695(4) lets the landlord recover up to three months' periodic rent or threefold actual damages, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney's fees. Fixed-term leases end on their stated expiration date.
No specific statutory penalty for proper termination. A willful, bad-faith holdover exposes the tenant to up to three months' periodic rent or threefold the landlord's actual damages, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney's fees (KRS 383.695(4)).
