The issue before us is whether the David-sons gave adequate notice to vacate to Mr. Kenney under the law as set forth above. The Davidsons concede in their brief that the September 6,1996 notice was not effective to terminate Mr. Kenney’s tenancy on September 30,1996, because it was not given one full month in advance of the latter date. But, they argue, this does not mean the notice was of no legal effect. Rather, they suggest, the notice should be considered sufficient to terminate the tenancy at the end of the next rental period, that is, on October 31, 1996. While they admit that this is inconsistent with the September 30, 1996, date stated in the notice itself, they say that the date is mere surplusage and the only important factor is that the tenant received notice to terminate more than thirty days before October 31,1996.
