What is the legal test for giving a notice of termination of a tenancy?

But the principle applicable in this case is that stated by Haultain, C.J.S.C. in Baker v. McCurdy (1914) 1914 CanLII 155 (SK CA), 7 WWR 727, at 728, 30 WLR 79, 7 Sask LR 340: “Except in the case of a tenancy from year to year, the length of the notice to quit has not been fixed precisely. The general principle is that in the absence of special stipulation, ‘reasonable’ notice must be given, and in the case of weekly and monthly tenancies it has been repeatedly held from very early times that a notice equal in length to the period of tenancy is sufficient. It would seem to be still a question of fact in each case whether any shorter notice is reasonable.”
