Do you have to give a landlord 30 day notice

In most states, landlords must provide 30 days' notice to end a month-to-month tenancy. (There are a few exceptions, such as North Carolina, which requires only seven days' notice, and Delaware, which requires 60 days' notice.) See the chart below for the rule in your state. Except where noted, the amount of notice a landlord must give to increase rent or change another term of the rental agreement in a month-to-month tenancy is the same as that required to end a month-to-month tenancy. Be sure to check state and local rent control laws, which might have different notice requirements. Also, keep in mind that some states might allow landlords to provide less notice to tenants who have not paid rent or have otherwise violated the lease or rental agreement.

In contrast to rental agreements, fixed-term leases usually obligate landlords and tenants to comply with the lease for the entire lease term (typically one year), except in specific cases—for example, if the the landlord wants to end the lease because tenant fails to pay rent or the tenant wants to break the lease because the landlord fails to provide habitable housing.
