Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

We have rented some garages to a building to a client with a lease. We want to terminate the lease- Is a garage storage space rental handled the same as a regular apartment or house termination? or what is the procedure?

A separate rental of a garage is not a rental of residential property, and provisions of law specifying that they apply to residential property would not apply to a garage. Basically, Civil Code section 1933 says the renter's rights expire an the end of the agreed term, which may be month-to-month, and a simple 30-day notice should terminate such a rental. Be sure, however, that the renter cannot construe the rental of the garage as an addendum to his residential lease. In such a case, things get much tough to sort out.
