How to Use the Lease Renewal Notice Calculator
Unlike some countries, the US has no single federal law setting how much notice a landlord or tenant must give before a lease ends. Instead, notice periods are set state by state (and sometimes county or city ordinances add further requirements), commonly ranging from 30 to 90 days depending on the state, the lease type, and whether it's a renewal, a non-renewal, or a rent increase.
Enter your lease end date and pick a notice period — 30, 60, or 90 days are the most common defaults you'll find in state statutes and standard lease templates — and this calculator works backward from your lease end date to show the exact deadline by which notice needs to go out, along with whether that deadline has already passed.
Because requirements differ so much by location, always double-check the specific notice period required in your state (and any local rules) plus what your lease itself says, since a written lease can set a longer notice period than the state minimum. Treat this calculator as a planning tool, not legal advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Landlord-tenant law is set at the state (and sometimes city) level in the US, so required notice periods for renewal, non-renewal, or rent increases vary widely. Always check your specific state's statute and your lease agreement.
30 days is common for month-to-month tenancies, while many states require 60 or even 90 days' notice for ending or not renewing a fixed-term lease or raising rent significantly. This tool lets you test any of those against your end date.
