How much notice does a landlord have to give a tenant to move out in Indiana?
Short answer
Ending a month-to-month tenancy: one month's written notice (3 months for year-to-year)

A month-to-month tenancy (a tenancy at will) can be ended with one month's written notice delivered to the tenant. Periodic tenancies of up to three months need notice equal to one rent period; a year-to-year tenancy needs notice at least three months before the year ends.
