RSA 540:11 (2007) provides that “[a] lessee may terminate his lease by notice in writing, in the same manner as the lessor, and the notice shall have the same effect for all purposes as a notice by the lessor to the lessee.” RSA 540:3, II (2007) states, in pertinent part, that for residential tenancies, “30 days’ notice shall be sufficient in all cases” for eviction. RSA 540:28 (2007) provides that “no lease or rental agreement... shall contain any provision by which a tenant waives any of his rights under [RSA chapter 540], and any such waiver shall be null and void.” According to the petitioner, the application of the lease term requiring sixty days’ notice would constitute *479a waiver of his purported statutory right as a tenant to give only thirty days’ notice under RSA 540:3, II, and thus the term is null and void pursuant to RSA 540:28. We disagree.
