Real Estate Law (esp. Landlord-Tenant) - Lease Agreement - California


Expert: Jonathan Dever, Esq - 7/27/2008

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.
