Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Being asked to move
My landlord is asking my family to move out. We've asked them for a written notice that that reason we have to move because we are forced to. However, the landlord is unwilling to do so. We are willing to move out and would move if he gave us a written notice. So, please tell me what I can do right now.
thank you very much.

Re: Being asked to move
Under California law the landlord is not required to justify termination of tenancy. The landlord merely needs to give a 30 day notice that the tenancy is terminated. This assumes that the tenancy is month to month.
Re: Being asked to move
If you have an oral rental agreement or a written month to month contract, the landlord is rquired to provide you with a 30 day notice in writing. If you have a lease in effect, the landlord cannot terminate you "generally" unless you fail to pay rent.
