renewed as stated in section 47-16-06 at the end of the term implied by law, unless
one of the parties gives notice to the other of an intention to terminate the lease, at
least as long before the expiration of the lease as the term of the hiring itself, not
exceeding one calendar month.
2. In tenancies from month to month, and unless the parties have otherwise agreed in
writing to a longer notice period or a different notice time, either party may terminate

the tenancy by giving at least one calendar month's written notice at any time. The rent

lease, the lessee may terminate the lease on the last day of a month with at least one
calendar month's notice.
