Question: After a lease expires and it is month-to-month, how much notice must a tenant give me in order to legally terminate the lease? He says one week. Is this true?
Answer: In California, 30 days or 60 days written notice is required to terminate a month-to-month tenancy and can be served by either party at any time during the tenancy. If all of the tenants have been in possession for one year or longer, you must serve a 60-day notice. Keep in mind the tenant can also serve a 30-day notice notwithstanding how long they have resided in the premises.
Question: I served a 60-day notice of termination because I am going to sell my home. Since then, one of the two residents moved out and is asking for his half of the security deposit. Am I responsible to pay the security deposit before the second person moves out?
