A California 30-Day / 60-Day Notice to Terminate Tenancy is used when a landlord intends to end a periodic tenancy or chooses not to continue a rental arrangement. This notice advises the tenant that the tenancy will conclude after the applicable notice period and that possession of the property must be returned by the stated termination date.
Under California law, landlords generally provide either a 30-day notice or a 60-day notice based on the length of the tenancy and applicable requirements. The notice period typically begins upon service of the notice.
This notice is arranged for practical completion, with clearly defined sections for identifying the tenant names, property address, selected notice period, and tenancy termination date, along with space to document how the notice was delivered.
