Under the laws of all states in this coutnry custom and practice with respect to the termination of a lease mandates a written thirty (30) day notice dated and signed by the landlord or the tenant delivered to the other side via the mail or hand delivered. As such, a text message is not valid written notice for the termination of a lease.
