Tenancies at will must be terminated by either party by 30 days’- notice, except as provided in subsection 1, in writing for that purpose given to the other party, and not otherwise, excepting cases where the tenant, if liable to pay rent, shall not be in arrears at the expiration of the notice, in which case the 30 days’ notice shall be made to expire upon a rent day, provided that either party may waive in writing said 30 days’ notice at the time said notice is given, and at no other time prior to the giving of such notice. Such termination shall not be affected by the receipt of moneys, whether previously owed or for current use and occupation, until the date a writ of possession is issued against the tenant during the period of actual occupancy after receipt of said notice. When the tenancy is terminated, the tenant is liable to the process of forcible entry and detainer without further notice and without proof of any relation of landlord and tenant unless he has paid, after service of the notice, rent that accrued after the termination of the tenancy. These provisions apply to tenancies of buildings erected on land of another party. Termination of the tenancy shall be deemed to occur at the expiration of the time fixed in the notice.
