The notice should have your name, the unit you are occupying and the date in which you will be completely moved out. It should also include a forwarding address to where your security deposit can be mailed. If you have a month-to-month rental agreement, a 30-day notice should be provided to the landlord.

A landlord can use a 30 day-notice to end a month-to-month tenancy if the tenant has been renting for less than a year. A landlord should use a 60-day notice if the tenant has been renting for more than one year and the landlord wants the tenant to move out.

In many cases, landlords can't cancel a month-to-month tenancy for just any reason. They will need a just cause if required the Tenant Protection Act of 2019. In some cases, a landlord can use the 30-day or 60-day Notice to end a rental agreement without a just cause.

Answer: Yes. The vast majority of rental agreements are in writing for a simple reason ? the terms are clear to everyone. California Civil Code section 1962(4) specifically states that the agent must provide a copy of the written rental agreement or lease to the tenant within 15 days of its execution by the tenant.

A California month-to-month lease agreement is a short-term rental contract that can be canceled by either the landlord or tenant. If the tenant has been on the property for one (1) year or less, the notice for termination shall be a minimum of thirty (30) days, if more than one (1) year, sixty (60) days.

When a one-year lease ends in California, it automatically converts to a month-to-month lease unless you sign a new agreement with your tenant. Even though the initial lease period is over, the agreement automatically renews until the tenant moves out or there is just cause for lease termination.
