Many states follow a different approach than that taken by the Restatement, however. These states hold, for example, that the requirements for an unlawful detainer action must be strictly construed, and that where the notice purports to require the tenant to vacate less than thirty days after the end of the month in which the notice is given, the notice is completely invalid and ineffective to terminate the tenancy at any date. See, eg, Commonwealth v. Fultz, 360 S.W.2d 216, 222 (Ky.1962), citing, Pack v. Feuchtenberger, 232 Ky. 267, 22 S.W.2d 914 (1929); Kaplan v. Lopatin, 156 Cal.App.3d 767, 202 Cal.Rptr. 912, 915 (1984), citing, Arbenz v. Exley, Watkins & Co., 57 W.Va. 580, 50 S.E. 813 (1905); Sanford v. Harvey, 65 Mass. 93 (1853).
