Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Rental dispute

If the landlord had given you a three day notice to pay or quit, and the three day period had expired, then they do not have to accept the rent, and may proceed to evict you. If no notice was served, then yes, they must accept the rent, however, if you are a month-to-month tenant, they can simply turn around and give you a sixty day notice (thirty day if you have lived there less than 1 year) and terminate your tenancy. Unless you have a lease, you have no security in terms of remaining in the property long-term.
