I am a landlord in VA with two rental properties, and I keep my tenants on month-to-month leases for a number of reasons:
1. I can charge more rent for the convenience to the tenant.
2. I can ask the tenant to leave with only a 30 day notice.
3. Flexibility should I wish to either move back into the property, or rent to someone else at a much monthly higher rental rate.

I am in the same situation. I believe that most landlords will not evict a tenant without a real reason, meaning complaints, late rent checks, or doing something that would have been disallowed by the original lease. Keeping in mind that it is sometimes difficult to find a new, reliable tenant, it sounds like you wouldn't likely be thrown out via whim. In fact, if you did feel like it was done on a whim, you might do well to strike back via some apartment ratings site like http://www.apartmentreviews.net/ although most of these sites will not list all apartments out there.
Good luck with the cooking smoke. I do that too from time to time, and am always at the ready to switch off the alarm from the fuse box.

I think you need to check the law in your state, but I believe that they are required to give you 30 days notice. I know here there are times when you have 30 days from the time your rent was due, as long as they give you 15 days notice of eviction. I highly doubt though that your landlord would evict you, if you've been a pretty decent tenant.

You both have the same rights in your case. You can leave with a 30 day notice and the owner can tell you to move with 30 days notice. The notice has to start at the beginning of a month. They can also raise your rent with 30 days notice. The old lease stays in effect as far as the rules go; it's as if you're extending your lease month-to-month.
At least that's how it works in Illinois--it could vary state to state.

on a month to month lease any party you or the landlord can give a month's notice to end the lease and no reason is needed

They must give you a minimum of three months, but you will want to check the exact standards they change state to state. But it is unlikely, unless they have something against you.

Your landlord can not kick you out for that..... as long as it wasn't drug related.... But I will suggest you be more care full when your cooking.....lol
