Dear New House Owner:

The answer to your question would be based at least in part on the laws of California in which we are neither licensed nor particularly knowledgeable (while general propositions may be similar, statutes and case decisions vary from state to state). Also, we operate only in the area of business-to-business law. Sorry we can't help. Good luck to you.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Re: New house owner

They have to give you at least 30 days' notice. Then they would have to file an unlawful detainer lawsuit. You can certainly negotiate for cash for keys to make it worth your while to move early and avoid the aggravation.

Re: New house owner

caltenantlaw.com has good advice on this situation, including how to make sure you really get the cash you were promised for the keys.
