Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
Termination of rental agreement
My tenant and I have a verbal, month-to-month rental agreement. He has rented my house for over 8 yrs.
I wish to re-occupy the premises and terminate the rental agreement. What kind of written notice is required and how many days? (I am the owner of the house and property)

You need to give a 60 day notice as long as you don't live in a city which has a rent control ordinance. We can help you with an eviction should you need it.
Re: Termination of rental agreement
You should give a 60-day written notice pursuant to California Civil Code section 1946.1, and it should be served on the tenant pursuant to Civil Code section 1162, by personal delivery, leaving a copy with an adult resident and mailing a copy to the same address, or by posting in a conspicuous place (on the front door) and mailing.
