As a lawyer who fields angry calls from people being evicted...the more time the better. Giving someone short notice to find a place is an awful idea, and 30 days is not that much time to find a place. It takes time to look around, and good places get rented within a few days of being on the market, so you want to always start looking before the 30 days, so you can jump on places that become available at or right before the end of a month.
Also, in BC, the standard lease automatically goes month to month, and you cannot simply end it. You can sign fixed terms leases.
Look at your lease agreement. It should say what the rules are or ending the lease. If it automatically goes month to month, you cannot just end it with notice, be it 30 or 90 days.
