Lease Termination Requirements

Summary

If a tenant has resided in a California rental unit for exactly 1 year, a landlord must provide a 60-day written notice to terminate the lease. This applies even if the lease has transitioned to a month-to-month tenancy. A 30-day notice is only permissible if the tenant has lived in the unit for less than a year. The notice must be clear and specific. Consult a legal professional for personalized advice.
