Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: Landlord Tenant Law

You don't have any long-term recourse on this. Being a month-to-month tenant, the landlord can change the terms of your tenancy on 30 days notice. That includes things like rent increases, etc... but also applies to the rules by which you must comply. He hasn't given you proper notice of the change of term of tenancy, however, if you tell him that as a defense to doing as he asks, he will simply correct the mistake, and w/in 30 days you will legally have to comply with his rules. As for the dropping you off in the driveway, I'm not sure how he would craft a rule that covers that, but as a month-to-month tenant who can be given a notice to terminate your tenancy on 60 days notice for no reason at all, I'm not sure that from a practical perspective it matters too much if you are right and he is wrong. Absent proof that the landlord terminated your tenancy out of retaliation (which simply objecting to his rules is not sufficient), you'll be looking for a new place to live even if you are right.
