Answer:

The following is a North Carolina statute:

§ 42-14. Notice to quit in certain tenancies.

A tenancy from year to year may be terminated by a notice to quit given
one month or more before the end of the current year of the tenancy; a
tenancy from month to month by a like notice of seven days; a tenancy
from week to week, of two days. Provided, however, where the tenancy
involves only the rental of a space for a manufactured home as defined in
G.S. 143-143.9(6), a notice to quit must be given at least 60 days before
the end of the current rental period, regardless of the term of the
tenancy.
