    Yes, when you switch to month to month the terms of the lease remain in effect except for term and rental. Also, most states require notice of termination of the lease.

    The amount of notice you need to give depends on the lease and local laws. Since you left out the key fact of where you are located we can't tell you want notice you have to give. Some states require a straight 30 days, others a full rental period.

    If you don't give sufficient notice, you will owe the landlord for rental until the end of the legal rental period.

    I guess after 18 years of renting, ( does anyone still have a copy of the original lease? )

    But after 18 years, you should know the owner on first name basis, why not merely call and talk to them

    Don't just call him. Make sure you put it in writing.

    I'd say with your warm loanlord vs tenant relationship I'd send that letter certified, return receipt requested
