The answer to this depends on what you expect to receive after the termination. You could, in theory, simply say "I quit!" and walk off the job; but if you do, you won't be able to use your current employer as a reference, and you'll have burned your bridges in the event you might want to be rehired down the road.

The standard amount of advance notice for termination is a minimum of two weeks. This can be in the form of a polite letter (which would then go into your file, as a part of your permanent work record) or as a private conversation with your supervisor, in which you clearly lay out your intent as well as your future expectations: your last available day, whether you'd like a reference for your new job, how to account for any accumulated vacation time, etc.

Note that the law does NOT require you to give a reason; whether you choose to do so (and how honest you are about your true reasons for leaving) is entirely up to you.

In many states, you have a measure of protection: your employer cannot simply fire you when you give notice, as this is considered retaliation and opens both your supervisor and the company up to a potential lawsuit. Check with a corporate lawyer in your jurisdiction to find out what all your rights are.

You also have an obligation to your current employer, however, to continue to perform your job duties up to the company standard for the remainder of your employment. If you bad-mouth the company, for example, or attempt to lure clients away with you to your new job, then your employer has every right to terminate you immediately, as you will have broken your side of the bargain.

Can I sign a notice of termination of tenancy for my husband if I own the rental property also but didn't originally sign the rental agreement Notice was given that I handle the finances?

This depends on whether you have a power of attorney over your husband, and to what extent the power of attorney holds. If you are just doing the finances, then you may not have the right to sign the notice of termination tenancy. Besides, I don't understand why you want to sign a termination of tenancy on yourself since you are the one owns the property. What you're saying is that you are your husband's landlord.
