The California lease termination agreements are used by a landlord or tenant seeking to end a month-to-month tenancy relationship. The form must be served to the other party (recommended with Certified Mail). All month-to-month tenancies must be terminated with 30 days’ notice if the tenant was on the property for less than a year and 60 days’ notice if the tenant has rented for one (1) year or longer. For tenants renting longer than a year and in accordance with the CA Tenant Protection Act of 2019, the landlord must present just cause — either at-fault or no-fault.
