Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: eviction notice

First, there are many reasons you can be evicted. If the notice was a "Notice of Termination of Tenancy", or something similar to that, then yes, the landlord is required to give you 60 days notice of termination of your tenancy, and cannot take any action to remove you until that time frame expires. If you do not move at that point, s/he can file a lawsuit called an unlawful detainer and evict you by legal process. The landlord (assuming you are a month-to-month tenant) can terminate your tenancy for no reason whatsoever, so long has s/he gives you proper notice. If, however, the lanlord has given you an eviction notice for a different reason (failure to pay rent, failure to comply with the rules & regulations, etc....) then the notice period may be as short as three days.
