Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Revoking a 30-Day Notice
I have submitted a 30-day notice to vacate to my landlord. The
one-year lease has expired, and I currently live month to month.
Due to problems with my future residence, however, I might need
to revoke this 30-day notice. Firstly, can I revoke it, and, if so, how
many days before the move-out date do I have to revoke it?
Thank You For Your Time.

Re: Revoking a 30-Day Notice
You can't revoke the notice, but you can try to work something out with your landlord. The new agreement, if any, should be in writing and signed by both of you.
Re: Revoking a 30-Day Notice
You cannot revoke the notice without the landlord's consent. After all, he may have already signed a lease with a new tenant. But even without that your notice is effective unless the landlord agrees to revoke it.
I suggest that you talk to the landlord and explain the situation. You are not the only one ever to have this problem and most landlords will cooperate.
