Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
My out of state Brother, landlord is selling the rental I live in & has listed it with a realtor here in Calif. His realtor called and asked if I would come to his office to discuss the rental. when I arrived he handed me a blank envelope. I opened it and inside was letter giving me 35 day notice.I ask him to give me something with his signature showing the date & time I was served. . At that point he became Very Defensive & Refused To Comply by saying Quote: I Did Not Serve You I only delivered an Envelope your brother ask me to give to you. The envelope was blank no postmark stamp or name on it. On the notice my last name is spelled incorrectly in large letters at the very top of the page . My last name is different than my stepbrothers.This is the first he has misspelled my name in 55 years & hundreds of letters . Question Would this be considered a proper service & notice in the eyes of the court. Please Reply ASAP & Thank You For Your Help

It would help if you told us things like how long you have rented, whether you have a lease, if the lease is for a certain term or month to month and what the notice was for - such as a notice to vacate the premises.
