Thirty Day Notice in for month to month lease
I am on month-to-month lease and served 30 days notice to my Appt manager in Sunnvale CA on July 16th, 2002. Since July has 31 days, my understanding is the 30 days notice will require me to pay rent till 14th Aug.( if you count 30 days including the day notice served) . I gave the notice during normal business hours 9-5 ( @ 2.00 PM). My Appt manager mentioned that the day notice is given is not included.Please advice. I appreciate your help and thanks a lot in advance. S. Kashikar

Re: Thirty Day Notice in for month to month lease
The manager is correct. Civil Code �10 provides: "The time in which any act provided by law is to be done is computed by excluding the first day and including the last, unless the last day is a holiday, and then it is also excluded."
