Legal Question in Business Law in California

Re: evictions

This is not a simple question, but I will give you some basics.

If you do not have a written lease for a longer term, you are probably a month to month tenant, which means that either you or the landlord can terminate the rental on one month's notice.

If you are in an area covered by rent control, you may be protected from such a termination without cause.

Finally, there are specific procedures that need to be followed to terminate your tenancy, and later to evict you. If these are not followed precisely you may be able to delay eviction.

I would advise against forcing eviction, because it can affect your ability to get another apartment.

Unless you are protected, you may be better off working out a deal with your new landlord. Feel free to contact me for more discussion.

Re: evictions

Do you have something beyond a month to month lease? If not, then they probably can evict.
