The short answer
The required notice depends on the change, tenancy, agreement and jurisdiction. First establish whether the change is permitted; notice alone does not make an otherwise prohibited change valid.

Separate timing from authority
Identify whether the proposal concerns a current fixed term, renewal or periodic tenancy. Check rent caps, fee restrictions and other relevant limits before choosing an effective date. Read any agreement-specific notice provisions alongside the law.
Verify content and delivery
Find the official requirements for what the notice must say, how the period is calculated and how delivery must occur. Retain the exact version and appropriate evidence of service. A sent email is not universal proof of valid notice.
Example: a new recurring fee
Before announcing a fee next month, establish that it can be charged and introduced under the existing arrangement. Then calculate the applicable notice and effective date. A software billing schedule should follow that review rather than determine it.
