"I'm looking for a definitive answer based on law, not opinion."

Well, I would not expect much in the way of fact or opinion by the way Rose got told about reading the law and doing her own research.

Thank you for your responses. From what I've been reading the laws for notice vary from state-to-state. In the state of Illinois where I live, the law states that I must give my tenant 30-days written notice If I choose not to renew. So, 30-days written notice applies to tenant terminating the lease as well as landlord termination. I cannot believe that if were to terminate my tenants month-to-month lease via text message or Email that, that would standup. Logically, wouldn't the same apply visa versa?

Yes, goose/gander theory.

It would take the confusion out of it for aboth you and the tenant if your lease expressly stated that you needed a signed, written notice sent by certified mail. Then if the tenant did not move out on the date provided you can use the notice to evict him. You are right that email is next to worthless if not less than worthless.
