A California 60-day lease termination letter is sent to a tenant when the landlord elects to terminate a tenancy-at-will of one year or longer. If the tenancy is not exempt from the Tenancy Protection Act, the landlord must provide "just cause" for termination. If the tenancy is not exempt and "just cause" cannot be provided, the lease is not legally allowed to terminate the lease.
