Notice To End A Residential Tenancy: Fill & Download for Free

You have to serve a notice. In the UK it will be 2-months written notice or 1 months written notice depending on whether you are landlord or tenant.…asuming you are talking about a residential tenancy, where rent is paid from month to month for a minimum period of 6 months.There are various technicalities. Check ’em out online or get legal advice.

There’s no legal limit.As long as you are willing to let them convert to being a tenant after a 30 day stay, there’s generally no lease limit, either.My leases all specify 2 weeks.With written permission, and a countersignature by the guest, you can have a third week.The problem with the de facto tenant is that they are bound by California and local statutes or ordinances, but they are not bound by the terms of the lease.This means that they do not have any additional covenants or rules that they agreed upon in the terms and conditions of their occupancy.What happens if you let a guest stay long enough to become a tenant?If they are a boyfriend/girlfriend: they become a party to the lease, or I evict.Anyone else, and I serve “notice to quit or correct”. You correct it by getting them to leave, or it’s notice to quit to you.If neither happens, then I evict you, and then, if they still haven’t left, I evict them. This is because my hands are legally tied: I cannot evict them until after I evict you.So if you have your no-job brother come and sleep on your couch, he better couch surf with someone else, or go to a hotel, or I don’t care where he stays as long as it’s not with you, for two weeks every two weeks, or the you’ve started the clock.If he starts getting mail sent to your address, or he starts signing the rent checks, or whatever, which end up being “constructive tenancy”: you’ve started the clock.Please don’t make me evict you over your no-job brother coming in with a sob-story.If you have a good enough heart, I probably really want to keep you as a tenant.There’s no statutory limit in California law.But read your lease.

Unless you say where on the globe you rented, you will not receive reliable answers on Quora. In Oregon, USA where I am licensed to practice, if this is a residential tenancy (you didn’t say) the landlord would have to look at the statute on abandoned property and the one on holdover tenancy and decide which situation the landlord was in. If it was a case of property abandoned after a tenancy termination, then LL would have to do notice and storage, and could charge you for the moving and storage, plus any rent lost during the time it took to get it out of there, if that was a cost incurred due to you failure to comply with the rental agreement, and also cleaning the place (which altogether might be close to the cost of rent) and sell your stuff to pay him/herself. If it is a holdover, then the landlord can charge you rent and still charge you for cleaning at the end. Either of those would be “fair.”But seriously, I wish all this was costing me was a couple month’s rent. And people who are right now as I am typing, going into induced comas to have a ventilator attached would probably give a couple month’s rent to trade places with you.
