*899The Davidsons cite no authority for their argument. The cases they refer to in their brief do not hold that inadequate notice can be effective to terminate a tenancy on a date other than that stated in the notice itself. Our own research has revealed, however, that their argument is consistent with the rule set out in the Restatement (Second) of Property. It states that “if the date stated in the notice for termination is not the end of a period or is too short a time before the end of a period, the notice will be effective to terminate the lease at the earliest possible date after the date stated.” Restatement (Second) of Property § 1.5 cmt. f (1977).
