Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Has the tenant lived in the property for a year or more? If so, you need to give him a sixty day notice. Assuming he has lived there less-than one year, then a hand-written notice can be acceptable if it contained all of the correct language. You do not have to give any reason, assuming he is a month-to-month tenant, for terminating his tenancy. Just be sure to have someone review the notice to be sure it contains the correct language before filing suit.
