Notice for Rent Increases When raising a tenant's rent, landlords must deliver the tenant a formal written notice of the change. It is not enough for a landlord to call, text, or email that they plan on raising the rent. Landlords must also give tenants sufficient warning before increasing rent.

The Notice must be in writing and include: The date the tenancy will end ("be terminated") Detailed reason(s) for the eviction. That if the tenant doesn't move out within 90 days the owner may start a court case to evict them and that they can give their side of the story then.

The Landlord is required to give the Tenant the time period stipulated in the rent agreement to vacate the premises. In case of absence of any such provision, typically, a one month notice is served onto the Tenant by the Landlord.

The only lawful way to evict a tenant is to file lawsuit and wait for the court to order the Sheriff or Marshal to carry out the eviction. Landlords cannot change the locks, shut off power, or remove personal property in order to force a tenant out of their home.

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. (CCP Section 1946.1.)
