Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Termination of Tenancy, Twice: 60 or 30 Days

I accepted two guest rooms (no

rent) offered to me as a favor. The

oral agreement was for my

occupancy from 2 February until the

beginning of June (non-specific),

2009. No document describing

tenancy was drawn (this was a

personal, guest arrangement).

The homeowners became vindictive

over an unrelated, business issue

and served me with a 60-day

termination of tenancy on 1 April.

Today, 9 April, they served me with

a 30-day termination of tenancy.

Is the second termination valid?

How do I enforce the first

termination, and to what

references do I direct the

homeowners?

NB: I lost another potential rental

to accept the original 4-month offer,

and I made crucial financial

arrangements for that amount of

time; my damages are significant in

both cases.

Re: Termination of Tenancy, Twice: 60 or 30 Days

The owner is not required to give a 60 day notice unless the tenant has been on the premises for over one year. You may have some civil claims based upon promissory estoppel and other causes of action. Contact me directly.
