Re: Lease laws
It should not be grounds for eviction, but the landlord can give you a 30-day notice to terminate the tenancy, as it is month-to-month.
Re: Lease laws
When you are on a month to month tenancy, a landlord can give you a 30 day notice for any reason, unless its for a wrong reason such as retaliation. You indicate that you are being evicted meaning to me that an unlawful detainer action has been filed. Withou such a notice, the unlawful detainer is improper.
Re: Lease laws
The grounds for an eviction on a month to month lease are 30 days notice. Looks like you got what you asked for. However, if the landlord has not given you 30 days notice, then the eviciton is probably illegal assuming you are current on your rent.
Re: Lease laws
It is not the basis for an eviction, but the landlord does not have to rent on a month to month basis. He will be required to give you 30 days notice if you "hold over" past the end of the lease period. Then, if you don't move, he can start eviction proceedings.
