Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: 30 day eviction notice

You can send a 30-day-notice by e-mail by scan, PDF, etc., but the way I understand the law, it must be an actual 30 day notice.

Thus, the way I read your facts, this e-mail would not be a legal document.

Sorry!

Re: 30 day eviction notice

I would agree with Mr. Bennett. I dont think that your email can or would be considered proper under the law.

Re: 30 day eviction notice

30/60 Day Notices must be served in accordance with the Civil Code section 1946.1 and Code of Civil Procedure section 1162. Service by e-mail is not one of the available alternatives for service. However, assuming that the content of the e-mail is sufficient for a 30/60 day notice to terminate tenancy, a copy of it could be served on the tenant as permitted by statute (i.e. personal service, substitute service on a co-occupant adult, post & mail, or by certified or registered mail).

Re: 30 day eviction notice

You cannot serve a 30 day notice by e-mail. It has to be personally served, or posted and mailed. Please contact us if you have any further questions.
