Under Miss. Code section 89-8-19, either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days' written notice before the termination date, or a week-to-week tenancy with at least 7 days. Tenancy is week-to-week if rent is paid weekly, otherwise month-to-month, unless the lease fixes a term.
Mississippi sets notice periods for ending periodic tenancies in Miss. Code section 89-8-19. For a month-to-month tenancy, 'either the landlord or tenant may terminate' by written notice given at least 30 days before the termination date; for a week-to-week tenancy, at least 7 days. By default, a tenancy 'shall be week to week in case of a tenant who pays weekly rent, and in all other cases month to month,' unless the agreement fixes a definite term. The statute also provides an exception: no notice is required when a party 'has committed a substantial violation of the rental agreement or this chapter that materially affects health or safety.' A fixed-term lease ends on its stated date.
No specific statutory penalty. A party who terminates without the required 30-day or 7-day notice has not validly ended the tenancy; the tenancy continues and any eviction or move-out based on the defective notice may be challenged.
