Thank you for submitting copies of notices of terminations to the City of San Jose. Make a copy of the Notice for your records and fill out a proof of service.In California, landlords must either give thirty (30) or sixty (60) days' notice, depending on how long the month-to-month tenant has lived in the rental unit. A notice of removal initiates the process of transferring a civil action from a state court to a federal court. This notice will include a copy of the Writ of Possession, an order to vacate the property, and instructions to claim a right of possession, if applicable. The Ellis Act Ordinance applies when an owner or developer plans to demolish or remove apartments from the rental market. However, landlords still evict tenants based on immigration status even with these protections. Landlord Fills out Forms and Files with Court. You fill out the rental application.
