Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Termination of Tenancy landlord rights

My tenant has been living in the property for more than 3 years. He is now on a month to month agreement. Recently I sent him a 60 day notice of termination of tenancy. The 60 day notice expires at the end of this month. He is now telling me that I am required by law to give him relocation money. He says he will not move out unless I pay him. Am I required by law to provide him with relocation money because I am terminating the tenancy? After the 60 days are up do I need to file an unlawful detainer to get him out?

Re: Termination of Tenancy landlord rights

If you are in a rent controlled area, you have to pay relocation money to the tenant. If you are not in a rent controlled area, you don't have to pay, and will have to begin eviction proceedings if the tenant does not move at the end of the month. Good luck. --Phil
