A termination for other good cause takes effect at the end of the lease term and never earlier than 30 days after the tenant receives the notice, and the conduct must have been noticed in advance

mfh.termination_tenancy.other_good_cause_notice_timing · v1.0.0

Other good cause is defined by state and local law, not by HUD, and whether it exists may be resolved between owner and tenant in court in an eviction action. A tenant's conduct may be deemed good cause only where the owner has given the tenant prior written notice stating that the conduct would constitute a basis for termination of occupancy in the future, and that advance notice must be served in the same manner as a notice of termination of tenancy. A termination notice for other good cause must provide that the proposed termination will be effective at the end of the lease term, but in no case earlier than 30 days after the tenant receives the notice; the notice period may run concurrently with any comparable period required by state or local law.
