Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

I am trying to give a 30 notice of intent to vacate to my landlord but I am unable to

reach anyone in their office and I don't have the address or the person name to send the letter. The building I currently live in has been sold to a new management company. What are my rights as a renter?

With such a provision in your lease, there is also probably an address to which you are required to send your notice. Do so. Otherwise, send it to the address where you pay your rent.

I agree........also, the sale of the building probably has no effect, one way or another, on your rights. You get a new landlord, but the terms of your lease or rental agreement don't change.

I agree that you would send the notice to the person that you pay rent to, but it is not clear whether the change in ownership just occurred. It seems to me that you may not have paid rent to the new owner yet, and do not have any contact information. If this is so, you may have to contact the tax assessor or the county recorder, and get an address for the new owner.
