On
January 1, 2006, for tenants who have resided
in the premises for one year or more, landlords
who wish to terminate that tenancy are no
longer required to give 60-days notice, but
only 30-days notice. Civil Code section 1946.1,
which required the 60-day notice, was to remain
in effect beyond this date only if legislation
were passed to extend it. However, such legislation
was not passed and, therefore, the notice
requirement reverts back to the prior law
requiring 30-days notice.
Living
In The Rental Unit
As a tenant, you must take reasonable care
of your rental unit and any common areas that
you use. You must also repair all damage that
you cause, or that is caused by anyone for
whom you are responsible, such as your family,
guests, or pets. These important tenant responsibilities
are discussed in more detail under "Dealing
with Problems".
This section discusses other issues that can
come up while you're living in the rental
unit. For example, can the landlord enter
the rental unit without notifying you? Can
the landlord raise the rent even if you have
a lease? What can you do if you have to move
before the end of the lease?
