This might depend on the laws of the state the apartment is in. But, usually, if the tenancy is month-to-month, either party can give notice at least one rental period in advance that they want to terminate the tenancy. So, if the rent is due on the 1st, notice has to be given (in writing) by the last day of the month. Giving notice on April 3 is asking them to leave May 31st.
The notice doesn't have to have a particular format, just state a date certain. If there is a reason for the termination, that needs to be stated. But, then the landlord might have to prove the reason in court. Once proven, the judge has little discretion in allowing the tenant more time. Every state except New Jersey allows a landlord to terminate a tenancy for no reason (called a 'no-fault' eviction). However, most states allow a judge to give a tenant evicted for no-fault time to leave, in Massachusetts up to six months (assuming they pay the rent each month).

How do i write a 60 days notice to my landlord?
"I live in and {APARTMENT} here in {MANCHESTER, KY} and all of the notice that I have to give my landlady is a 30 day notice."

they can if they give you 24 hours written notice
Once you receive an eviction notice for not paying rent how much time do you have before they kick you out?
It depends on whether you have received a section 21 notice or a section 8 notice. Both notices advise you of when you need to vacate the premises by. Once that date has passed the landlord may apply to the courts for an eviction notice - these normally give you 14 days but the date will be stated on the documentation.
What ways can an eviction notice be served to a tenant?
a land lord can serve you at any time with an eviction notice for non-payment of rent, vandalism, criminal acts and too many people and animals on his/her property. Normally they will give you 14 to 30 days to vacate, be prepared for a judgement against you, this will arrive with a bailiff and or a member of the police.
Can a landlord harass or threaten you during an eviction?
No, only a judge can evict you. However, a landlord can ask you to leave at the end of your lease term. Or with 30 days' notice in a month-to-month scenario. If you still don't vacate, you will certainly find yourself in court.
