If you havea written lease the terms should be included in there and I would read it thoroughly to make sure you do everything correctly, especially if you are expecting a security deposit back.
Just speak to your landlord about it so there are no surprises, but it really all depends on your lease agreement.

Absolutely ! Even if you do not have a written lease, most areas default to a 'statutory month to month' lease, the terms of which are governed by state law. Most states indicate that the landlord is entitled to a minimum of thirty days notice (dated from a specific rent due date).
If you do not provide notice, you can be held liable for unpaid rents accordingly.

Terms vary from state to state and from month to month or lease. It should be in your agreement. But if it's not, the general rule of thimb is 30 days for month to month and 60 days for a 1 year lease. It should be written and certified mail is the best bet so that you have a reciept that you actually gave them that amount of notice. It's also a good idea to give them your forwarding address so that any deposits due back to you can be returned! ; )

It should be stated in the contract you signed what is the proper time frame of notice when you vacate. Average is 30 day notice. If you do not have a copy get one from the landlord.

Read your lease. If you dont have a copy of your lease, get one. If you cant get one then hop online and fine the local statues for your state. If that doesnt work, try calling your local court house to see if they have any sources for you to contact.
Usually if you signed a year round lease, you cannot leave before the year is up. Sometimes if you give the landlord 30 days notice you will be responsible for rent until the unit is re-rented.

Under normal circumstances, yes. Look at your lease and see. Usually the landlord requires at least 30 days notice of moving.

I would to cover my assets.
The landlord several months from now can come after you for not giving them a WRITTEN notice and collect back rent, and even keep your security deposit.
A simple letter stating on this date I will no longer be occupying this premise is fine.
Does NOT have to be written in leagalease.
Good luck

Depends on your state and your rental agreement. In California you have to give the landlord the same amount of notice as there are days between rent payments.

Read your lease. It should state whether you need to submit a written notice. I would do it either way though because it is always best to submit it in writing so it can't be disputed should you have to go to court over something.

It depends. If you are leaving the lease early and "buying out" then yes. If you have already advised that you are not renewing the lease and you are leaving the last month the lease is up and have paid then you are free to leave without written notice i would think
