Question We signed a 12 month lease agreement 14 months ago. It was written into the lease that we were required to give 60 days notice of intent to vacate. We did not enter into a new lease agreement at the end of the lease but defaulted to a month to month, which holds a 30 day notice clause. My question is, are we legally held to the 30 days or the 60 day term which was written into the contract.
Answer That is a good question and best resolved by your state and local statutes. Typically your notice time is 30, but 60 was in the contract. I am not a California Attorney, but it is safe to assume 60. Call a local landlord tenant association to verify, or place a call to a local attorney, they might answer your question over the phone.
