30-Day Eviction Notice

30-Day Eviction Notice Law

In California, a landlord can evict a tenant that is on a month-to-month or periodic tenancy lease as long as they serve them with proper written notice. This may be 3-day, 60-day, or 30-day eviction notice, warning the tenant that he or she must leave the premises after the term stated. Thirty-day eviction notices are typically given to tenants who have lived in their rental unit for less than one year or if the landlord intends to sell the unit to someone else who will occupy it for a minimum of one year after the tenancy ends.

If a tenant violates the rental agreement by not paying their rent, damaging the property, committing acts of domestic or sexual abuse on the premises, or any other violation of contract, the renter may not be entitled to a 30-day eviction notice and may instead be only given 3-day notice.

30-Day Eviction Notice Legal Issues:

If served a 30-day eviction notice, the tenant will have to move out of the premises by the end of the thirtieth day. Landlords do not need to specify on the notice why they are evicting the tenant. A 30-day eviction notice can leave the tenant in dire circumstances should they not have anywhere to go or cannot find another lease in their price range at the end of the thirty days. If the tenant does not leave the premises at the end of the thirty days, the landlord can sue the tenant and promptly evict them. This eviction could stay on a person's record for years, destroying their credit.
