Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Bakersfield no rent control. Owner of a triplex for sale starts escrow and gives existing tenants a 30 day notice to vacate. Now 15 days into the 30 day notice period the landlord finds that he made an error & the tenants should get a 60 day notice. Do they just ad the extra 30 days to the 15 remaining for a total of 60 days, Or do they restart the clock for a new 60 day period. Or do they have to complete the original 30 days & then start a new 60 notice period ..

I don't know of any law that specifically answers this question, but I can't imagine any court ruling the 30 days have to run and THEN give 60. The only real question is can the landlord just tack on the additional 30 days. My guess is a court would say "no, you have to give a new 60 day notice," but you can give that immediately.

You have to give a new notice for 60 days. It can be done immediately. If the 30 day notice is improper, then it is legally void.
