Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

California Landlord/Tenant Rights

In California, can a landlord opt to

declare to terminate a one-year lease

before it expires? We are being told by

the property management firm they

can do that but nowhere in my lease

does it state anything as such.

It's possible, but withoureading your lease, I can't be certain.

You're a little inland, but we're in Pasadena. If you want, you could fax over your lease and I could take a quick read through. If you've got an argument against them, I'll let you know ans if you want our firm to assist you further, we can discuss it at that time.

I can be reached at the info provided bu LawGuru or through one of our firm's websites such as No-Probate.com

Namaste,

Scott

Re: California Landlord/Tenant Rights

There are a number of situations where this is possible.

For instance: failure to pay rent; violated a provision of the lease agreement; materially damaged the property (called "waste"); substantial interference with other tenants (called "nuisance"); and/or using the premises for an illegal purpose, e.g. selling drugs.

If you need more, please e-mail, or call, my office.

Assuming that the conditions don't exist that Mr. Bennett has raised, the answer generally is "no." They can try if you would be willing to move if the price is right.
