Lease Term: The period during which the tenant has the right to occupy the leased property. It starts on the lease commencement date and ends on the lease expiration date. Lease Commencement Date: The specific date on which the lease agreement becomes effective, and the tenant takes possession of the leased property.
The day the lease begins is the day the first rent is due and a tenant picks up keys granting the new tenant legal possession of the apartment, and all the responsibilities that go with the lease contract. To the landlord the tenant has ``moved in.'' The tenant can move in that day or anytime after that.
Section 21 of the Housing Act stipulates that a landlord cannot legally obtain possession of a property in the first 6 months. In the unfortunate event a tenant refused to leave at the end of a 4 month fixed term for instance, this would pose problems by making landlords unable to legally regain possession.
Dear landlord or tenant, This letter is to notify that you will need to vacate the rental unit/I will vacate the rental unit on date. This letter meets the 30-day notice requirement as outlined by the lease agreement. Keys will be returned to the property manager at address of property manager's office on date.
Ing to San José Municipal Code section 17.23. 310, a landlord may only raise rent for a covered rental unit by 5% of the rent charged in the preceding twelve months.
For month-to-month tenants, a landlord must provide at least 30 days' notice if the tenant has lived in the property for less than a year, 60 days if they have lived there for one to two years, and 90 days if they have lived there for more than two years.
Under California law, either party can terminate a month-to-month lease agreement. However, when the tenant has been in the property for less than a year, they're required to give at least a 30 days' notice.
A 30-Day Notice is commonly used by landlords to end or modify a month-to-month lease or a periodic lease. It does not apply to fixed-term leases, which require landlords to honor the lease for its full duration.
Do I Have to Sign a Month-to-Month Lease? Every lease should be in writing and signed by both the landlord and tenant to make sure your rental lease is legally binding. However, if you have a lease with a Holding Over clause, then this would be one exception where you would not need to sign a new lease.
Most lease agreements require tenants to provide a 30-day notice before the end of the lease term or the intended move-out date.
