Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Eviction----Tenants with children
We have a rental being occupied by a family with at least 3 chidren under the age of 10. They are renting on a month to month basis. There has been a number of problems between us and the renters and we are to the point of wanting to evict them.
Is there any law that says we need to give more than 30 days notice to quit?
Thank you in advance for your reply :)

No, 30 days is fine.
Re: Eviction----Tenants with children
First check any written agreement you may have with the tenants.
If the written agreement does not require more than 30 days, you
are probably ok. Make sure that any special requirements for eviction
notices (Section 8 housing; local rent control) are met. Make sure
that your reason is not the children themselves: discrimination against
families with children is illegal in California. However, a pattern of
complaints by other tenants, or destruction of property, etc., would be a
nondiscriminatory reason.
