Landlord notice deadlines — Mississippi
In Mississippi, the checked deadlines on this page cover: pay or quit, ending a tenancy, raising the rent. Each figure carries its statute and the stamp Rules checked October 2026. Run your exact dates through the checker — the period is only half the answer; the counting rule is the other half.
| Pay or quit | 3 calendar days — the tenant may pay and cure (Miss. Code §§ 89-7-27, 89-8-13). 3-day written notice to pay rent or vacate. Paying within 3 days defeats the notice. |
|---|---|
| End a tenancy | 30 days — month-to-month (Miss. Code § 89-8-19). 30 days' written notice, measured from the next payment date. |
| Raise the rent | 30 days (Miss. Code § 89-8-19). No cap on the amount; 30 days' written notice for a change in a month-to-month tenancy. |
| How days are counted | No Mississippi counting rule (weekend/holiday treatment) was verified from a primary source for this dataset. |
| Just cause | No statewide just-cause requirement. |

Local rules sit on top of state law in many places — city just-cause lists, rent boards, and prescribed local forms. A state deadline is the floor of the analysis, never a promise that no local rule adds to it.
The paper that goes with the date
The checker gives you the date. The kit gives you the notices: pay or quit, non-renewal / termination, and rent increase letters generated from these same checked deadlines, a letter builder that fills in your dates and names, the move-in and move-out inspection checklists, and the proof-of-service checklist.
One-time payment. No subscription. The checker stays free either way.
