Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

If landlord gave you a 60 day notice to move, your obligation is to continue paying the rent until the last day you are at the property (whether its at the conclusion of the 60 days or before). If the 60 days have already come and past and you remain at the property, then the landlord can file an eviction case in court against you. Is this the 5 days you are referring to? If so, then you need to respond to that case right away to protect your rights (should you have some rights to exercise against your landlord).

You need to speak to an experienced unlawful detainer/real estate attorney. One that can explain your rights and responsibilities to you as a tenant.

The landlord is not required to pay moving expenses in a non-rent control situation. If you fail to move by the end of the notice, the landlord can file an unlawful detainer to seek eviction. Retaliation is a defense to such an action based upon a 60-day notice. You have the burden of proving that the landlord was in fact acting in retaliation when he served the notice. If you choose to stay and litigate the unlawful detainer there is the possibility that you could lose and have an eviction on your record. You should consult with an attorney prior to making such a decision.
