d. None of the above

Answer 1

To terminate a month-to-month rental agreement, the landlord must provide Steve with a 30-day written notice.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to terminate a month-to-month rental agreement, a landlord must provide a 30-day written notice of intention to terminate to the resident. The notice should include any valid 'just cause' if required by law. On receiving such a notice, Steve will have to vacate the premises, ensuring all his belongings are removed, and that he returns any keys and other property that were furnished for his use. Failing to vacate by the designated date may result in Steve being liable for additional rent and possibly damages, such as those incurred from the owner's potential loss of new renters.
