Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: A leased house put up for sale...

You may show unit to prospective purchasers. In short, you should first provide the renters with notice of your intent to sell. Thereafter, to show the property, you must provide the renter with �reasonable notice,� either orally, in person or by telephone. Twenty-four hours is presumed reasonable notice. The notice shall include the date, approximate time, and purpose of the entry. At the time of entry, the landlord or agent shall leave written evidence of the entry inside the unit. Refer to Civil Code section 1954 for specifics.
