Any tenancy with or without a monthly rental agreement that is paid month-to-month, must be terminated with a Massachusetts 30 Day Notice to Quit. This rental form gives ample time required by law to end a landlord-tenant relationship. If the tenant does not move out by the date specified in the form, then the landlord may proceed with a summary process to recover possession.
