Answer: No, a 30-day notice has to be in writing and physically deliverable to the tenant in person, or by serving another person of suitable age and discretion on their behalf or by posting a copy on the door and mailing a copy.
Question: Is the “removal of roommate” form still valid even if one roommate does not sign?
Answer: If the landlord allows the current tenants to substitute another person for one of the residents, many landlords use a “removal of roommate” form. All adult occupants of the premises should sign the removal of roommate form to avoid potential liability.
