What is required for the termination of a tenancy at will?

For the termination of a tenancy at will, a notice from either party is essential. A tenancy at will is an arrangement where either the landlord or tenant can terminate the rental agreement without a specific ending date, often without cause. The key requirement here is the provision of notice which provides both parties with the opportunity to end the agreement and ensures that the termination process is clear.

A written agreement is not a necessary condition for terminating a tenancy at will, as this type of tenancy typically arises from informal arrangements rather than formal leases. The expiration of a lease term does not apply in this context, since a tenancy at will is not bound by a fixed duration but rather exists indefinitely until terminated properly. While mutual consent might play a role in certain situations, it is not required since either party can initiate the termination unilaterally by providing proper notice.
