Beginning Jan. 1, 2007, a residential landlord must generally give a 60-day notice to terminate a month-to-month tenant. However, a 30-day notice to terminate is permissible if any tenant or resident has lived in the property for less than one year, or if the landlord has sold the property in the manner specified by law. The 60-day notice does not apply to fixed-term leases (e.g., a one-year lease). It also does not apply if it is the tenant, not the landlord, who terminates a month-to-month agreement, in which case the tenant may give a 30-day notice. To comport with this new law, the California Association of Realtors will release a new standard form "60-day notice of termination", which will also set forth the requirements for the 30-day exception when landlords sell their properties. This law will sunset on Dec. 31, 2009.
